the xecuter chip is easy, i can provide you with 2 guides (both paper based so you can sit and read them instead of looking at a computer screen), but if you aint any good at soldering, make sure that you get a 'xapter' adapter for the executer 2.6 chip, this means you can screw it down without even soldering it. If you dont want the guides snding, go check out www.xbox-scene.com for all the advice you will ever need.
I also have a bios flashdisk that you will need to program the chip and an operating system that you can install with one click and no degree in computer programming.
You can make the flashdisk and the os disk (evultion x dashboard) yourself, but i guarentee it will take you a while to figure it out and you may waste plenty of dvdr disks in the process, again, xbox-scene is your best bet, unless you want to do it the easy way and get someone to do it for you.
Is the hard drive he bought you a standard pc hard drive (if so it needs partitioning before you can install it) or is it ready to plug in.
Regards
jim....

Just worry about installing the chip before worrying about upgrading the hard drive (which is major easy to install I must add). Have you looked at Xecuters site yet? http://www.teamxecuter.com/ They have every tutorial you could ever find for Xecuter chips, and the forums is a great place to chat if you do not know what your doing....

Pimp has some excellent advice
do it a step at a time.
Personally I will always believe solder modchips to be better than solderless.
Also make sure you check the model type of your xbox (1.0 to 1.6b)
Executer 2.6 chips are, excellent modchips, can be reflashed from evox, and have a really usefull blue HDD light and orange LAN light. (so you dont have to keep changine the TV channel over to see if your backup loaded or transferred etc)
XB360 hitachi xtreme f/ware, chameleon case, whisper & airflow blue led. XBOX w/ 2.6 2x custom "djboogie" bios. PSP 1.50 w/ devhook .52 % 303 f/ware.

I have the 1.6v though so it's alot harder to do than the others. I haven't started yet but I have looked inside my xbox and seen what I have to do so I dont really screw up. But what I'm confused about is when you have put the pin in the beginning. Do I have to solder it and then put the pin all the way through the motherboard?

I believe you need a different bios for the flash disk if you have the 1.6 version of the xbox...let me know if you cant find it, if you do ill tell you how to make the flashdisk (must use blank dvd) yourself.

Before Tbird11 even thinks about a bios, he needs to install the chip and get that working first!
You need to tell us EXACTLY what kind of chip you have
Quote:
and a Xecutor2.6 or something
You kind of have to know what chip you are using, no guessing here!
Seriously, look around on Team Xecuters site, have you even found the install guide for your chip yet?

And yes, I have seen a step by step installation guide but I just dont want to mess up with soldering because I have never soldered before.

Get yourself a 'xapter' adapter, you can screw this to the motherboard using the pre-prepared holes already there, and simply slot the chip in, no soldering at all, easy peasy.

So your saying that if I get a Xapter Adapter, I dont have to get a soldering iron? But where do all the other wires go?

Install the modchip,then continue from there as stated before you can't do anything without installing the modchip.Identify your modchip,after you have figured out what your modchip is read an installation guide on how to install the modchip http://www.teamxecuter.com official Xecuter site.I have to disagree with the solder modchips though,they are stable but as with any modchip they get outdated.Replacing a solder modchip is alot harder to do than replacing a no solder modchip,and they both have the same capabilities.If you plan on upgrading your modchip for any reason stick with a no solder modchip,it will save you time.I have a no solder X2 Lite modchip,and haven't had any problems with it.Moved my Xbox around all the time and no effects at all,my no solder modchip hasn't damaged anything and hasn't moved at all.The xapter adapter though I can't really say is a good no solder adapter to use,but I used one of the official Xecuter adapters and they work like a charm.Back to topic,after you have installed your modchip flash the modchip by obtaining a bios look on http://www.xbox-scene.com to obtain your bios.Once you have flashed your bios(X25032 is the latest bios from Xecuter,but I am using X24983 bios and have no problems with it) to the modchip,you can then place a different dashboard on the Xbox instead of the default MS dashboard such as Evox 3935 or so forth.Read as much as you can,look off http://www.xbox-scene.com in the tutorials for beginners for a start.The more you read the more you will understand,so go to the sites and read as much as possible to figure out what to do.
Guidance:
Install modchip
Flash a Bios to the modchip
Intall a dashboard,for a beginner I would suggest an Auto installer disc such as SlaYers,FireFuckers or Auto Installer Deluxe 1.1

I just bought the Xapter Adapter because what you said but I'm not real familiar with any of this and if I want to upgrade it then your right, I should get a solderless one so that's what I did. I should get my xapter in but I dont think they ship on weekends. I got it for 17.99 plus 6.07 in tax I dont know if thats a deal or not because I just want this done so I can mess around with it!!! If I play Xbox Live though, what do I do so they cant detect it?

you can turn the chip off if you want to play live, boot the machine first before you decide to do that, then switch it off once its on and 'live' will be fine.
the deal you got was ok, i paid for the chip and the adapoter at the same time so i got some money off, it cost me £30 for the both of them, just under $60 i think.
you can find a shed load of guides on the xbox-scene website on everything to do with modding your box.
happy playing
jim
