Hi!

So, here's the deal.. Got a xbox, xecuter 2.3 lite, evoxm7 bios. Now I'm gonna change the hdd. Do I have to plug the new hdd to a computer and do a format? Or can I just plug it in to the box?
Heard that I could just plug it in, use slayers evox autoinstaller (2.5 newest?) and then all should be well and working?

thx

William

You dont format it in the PC, you just stick a new hard disk in the xbox and the prog that installed the dash will do it for you.

Before you install a new HDD you will need to backup everything on you existing HDD. If you are running EvoX then there is an option to do this, tell it to backup and it will create C:\Backup, FTP this to your computer and dont loose it.

You then make a normal EvoX boot disk but that will need you backup folder on it and will need the .ini file modifying.

For detail instructions follow Seamokeys guides.

I got a 120gb HD that I using but thinking of taking it out of my pc putting it in my xbox...Can I do that? or does the HD have to be brand new? Wouldn't formatting the disk with all zeros be essentially the same thing?

There is a program called NewHDEvox 1.4. This will do exactly what you are wanting to do. I copied a bit of the readme file so you know what it's all about.

EvolutionX New HD Setup ISO - v1.4
by GreenGiant
---------------------------

Requirements:
Xbox
MS Dashboard (Any)



What will this cd allow me to do ?

Install a new (blank) HardDrive into your XBOX and using this cd it will
prepare, format, and install the EvolutionX DashBoard, MS Dashboard, DVDX 2, BoxPlorer
and ConfigMagic Final.
This will leave your XBOX ready for use.

Also has support for flashing your modchip Bios to Evox D6 EjectFix.
(Donot use if you donot know what you are doing)



Use:
1) Put the Contents from the C drive of the original HardDrive in to the directory 'CDrive'.
-- If you already have evolutionx on your original C drive, donot transfer it over --

2) Burn the Contents of this archive onto a CDRW in Proper Xbox Format
A) UDF B) XBOX ISO Image Creator

3) Install new HardDrive into XBOX
4) Put CDRW into xbox and reboot (Turn Off, Turn On)
5) Select 'Prepare NewHD' and follow the prompts
6) Eject CD from tray and reboot Xbox

Your new harddrive is now ready for use on your Xbox.

yes because it has your evox.ini xboxdash.xbe ect...
if something goes wrong then you may need to restore also game saves go to the e: partition in the xbox

its best to put your chip in flash it and put evox on the stock hdd first then you can ftp your original hdd contents to the pc then you ugrade your hdd then if you go wrong and trust me lots do
you have your original files backed up
