Help upgrade Xbox 1 HDD I have modchip w/250GB HDD want 750

Post by Satoshi_Matrix »

Hey all, since I never use my old windows PC anymore, I'm thinking of putting in its big 750 GB IDE harddrive into my modded Xbox.

My Xbox is a 1.6 with a 250 GB drive already installed. It's got a Aladdin XenoFX modchip that allows it to dualboot into either XMBC or the plain old MS dash depending on how long the power button is pressed and held during boot up.

The MS dash stuff is stored on the C: partition.
Programs, saves, and XBMC is stored on the E: partition
Games, movies, and pretty much everything else is stored on the F: partition.

I have full access to the entire harddrive through XBMC and FTP.

What I'd like to do is simply move everything over to my 750 GB drive so I have almost limitless space to put on everything I could ever want. The problem is that I really have no idea how to do this. I originally got the harddrive updated by a guy who operates a modchip store (which apparently isn't illegal in Canada) but I'd have to drive at least an hour and pay him $30 for the job. I'd like to do it myself since it seems that everything I'd need to do this is already in place.

The pc I use mostly is a mac, but I do have access to an old IDE windows XP clunker.

Any help much appreciated.

Might want to check if your xbox can address the larger capacity. It should be part of the BIOS running on the modchip.
