Tomm Posted August 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 so my hdd in my xbox is dead at the moment, but if i was to buy i modchip i could simply burn the xbox bios only any hdd? ← Yeah, pretty much. Although I don't think you mean bios. The bios is copied to the memory on the actual chip itself, everything else goes on the hard drive. But yes, it would work. When it's chipped you don't even need a hard drive or CD-Rom drive in it at all to start it up. So you could chip it + install a new hard drive, and then start it up with a boot disk, and you're away. The only thing you'd need to do differently is to put a little bit onto the boot disk so that there's an option for formatting, as the stock xbox drives don't need formatting. Once you've got the boot disk up and running and the hard drive formatted, the xbox works on the network so you can FTP stuff to it (use FlashFXP/FileZilla etc from your PC) so that you don't need the disk again.

You can get a solderless adapter for it, but I've not really heard anything good about it, and it's about £8 more. I would just bite the bullet and get a proper one, it's not too hard (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
