You could use a laptop drive, and your xbox stock hdd, and place them both in there, and use a switch to control which one you want to turn on :)

yes you can use the xbox connect but as stated the game needs to support system link and it would mean you would have to leave your PC on while you play on the xbox, and some ppl dont have PCs (connect via internet cafes etc) and so would be useless

I have news for everybody. Put some of these stupid rumors to rest...
First, you can run the backends of both xbconnect and xlink kai (which is the one i recommend) on u'r pc as long as it's on the same network as the xbox. There are frontends to use in conjunction with it for the xbox, so you never have to leave u'r xbox ever again.
I think the xbconnect frontend comes with the nexbc dash, and the xlink kai frontend comes with the newest versions of XBMC (xbox media center). This works great by the way.
How to play on Live with a modded box:
I have softmodded several boxes and many of them are still on live to this day... with bigger hard drives and without.... so I know what I'm talking about. Listen up kiddies.
1) This one should be obvious. NEVER sign on live while the mod is on. This will get you banned incredibly fast, as you deserve it you idiot. That means, either shut of your modchip (I recommend shutting off as compared to "stealth" mode on certain chips), or if you are softmodded, just shut off the xbox with a RETAIL game disc in... and boot it up from the game. If it's an actual and not copied game, you should be fine.
This also means you should never try to manage your account from the M$dashboard, unless you remove the mod first (or your mod chip is turned off). For softmodders, you are still running your modified bios even while running the m$ dash unless u remove the mod first.
2)TURN OFF auto sign in features. Please note that some games try to sign in automatically (i think Tony Hawk Underground is one of them). If your mod is on during the sign in, you'll be banned. So make sure you aren't playing a game with auto sign-in features with the mod on. That would suck, you moron.
3)Your m$dash should be named xboxdash.xbe... and it should be unmodified. Any changes and your toast. If you need to know how to accomplish this... read somewhere else. This is the only post I'm making on this.
4)The marriage theory with eeproms and hdd keys is true. That means if you signed on live, and then tried to upgrade your hdd.... first back up your live account. Then delete it off your hard drive. Then you run configmagic, load a new eeprom (do this correctly!!!), and RE-LOCK YOUR HDD WITH THE NEW EEPROM! You should have a new hdd key. If not, you didn't do it right. Stupid people...
A new eeprom from an xbox that has never gone on live, or never will go on live will work great. After you've done these steps, boot up u'r unmodded xbox (or turn mods off), go to live accounts, and do the account recovery (this is the safest, rather than just recopying u'r old live account off the mem card)
5)KEEP YOUR HARD DRIVE LOCKED!
6)Don't be a dumb#$!%
I think I covered just about everything. If not, i'll edit this post later, but I'm sure I got it all.

Would you honestly cancel a £40[$50] subscription just to be able to play online with an easyily detected mod chip?

use evox and click lockhdd.
this is the code to put in the evox.ini
Item "Lock Harddisk",@210
it should be there with # in front just delete that and it will show up if not just add that in. boot evox click lock hdd it will say this option will allow you to boot from original xbox bios click yes reboot with chip off if done right you can now boot without a modchip.

no... really?
that's the point. you can't cheat on xbox live. period. this whole discussion is how NOT to get banned with a modded box, and the HOW is to shut off the mod before you sign on live. thus, no "cheating" on xbox live.

Are you people just not reading any other posts before yours or what??? I specifically said how to not get banned from xbox live... did i mention any xbmc or any other homebrew software? No. Why? Because it doesn't matter.
Now do us all a favor and read the existing posts. Either that or use a little logic.

I'm with you on that one there, dyinman
if your going to make a post, read the last page of posts (or the whole thread if nessesary) before posting. try it, you might find it (cough)fun(cough), and easier than typing a load of useless junk, SalFer and bluetaxin.
i decided not to include the signature this time because i think these two need to put it on their own.
P.S nice web site you got going, dyinman
