I softmodded my Xbox a few years back and never did anything beyond the actual softmod. Now I want to accomplish the following, and want to make sure I have the correct information before proceeding. Some of the tutorials are long in the tooth, and I am unsure if I have the correct procedure, so I thought it was best to ask first.
Goals:
Clone factory HD to a new larger 400GB HD
Install DVD2XBOX to copy my games to the HD
Install XBMC to stream media to the Xbox
Currently the system has the factory hd in this config:
free c: 132.038.656
free e: 4.759.994.368
free f: 0
free g: 0
free x: 786.300.928
free y: 642.760.704
free z: 786.300.928
I backed up my xbox folder to my pc.
So my next steps should be to place chimp in the apps folder on e:\
Run chimp and clone the HD to the 400GB
Install dvd2xbox in e:\apps
Backup games using dvd2xbox to e:\games
Install XBMC using XBMC Installer Deluxe
Questions:
Does this sound like the correct proceedure?
What if anything do I need to do with the f: & g: drives?
Is there anything I am missing?
using chimp wouldn´t be my way to go, but DO make a backup of your eeprom.bin. either run the softmod again, there is an option to backup the eeprom. or use configmagic to backup the eeprom and copy that to your computer. after you have done that, the choice is yours. but, i would suggest to go with the xboxhdm disc.
