Mayang...can you please, please help me to understand why you have given up when I put a post up telling people like yourself that I would help you? Look dude...this stuff is simple but if you don't take advantage of people like myself then you will never get it done. Got news for ya, if you think it's gonna be easier to install another drive, put games on your hard drive and update the bios...I got news for ya. PM me and I will help you.

I didn't say that was hard...but if you can't figure out how to back up a simple game how easy is it gonna be to put in a hard drive and update your bios? Plus, c'mon...the main issue was the fact that I offered to help this guy out. Why not do both? Learn both skills

my only advice is to get a hard drive that is lockable because if you don't you can't access the M$ dashboard.

anybody here actually got a maxtor hd in and running? I have a diamondmax plus 9 160GB ready to put in but i read somewhere they are prone to fucking up when in xbox's. they apparanetly keep overheating, but everyone i spoke to seems to know someone it happened to rather than it being them.
I prefer to listen to people first hand, you know what i mean.

how long have they been in? i need to decide the fate of the hdd, xbox or ebay? :)
i'm not bothered wether they are lockable or not either. I dont play live and i have put hard drive's in other people's machines (never a maxtor though)and they can all access msdash though not locked.

i'll bang it in this weekend then i think. thanks.
I'm in UK so i wouldn't know anything about your rebate scene, I got mine from a repo sale for £50 which in dollars is about 90? 160gb ata/133 hdd 8mb cache. i figured at that price i couldn't lose. if it turned out to be no use to me i would get more than that on ebay.
I'm looking at importing more from US though as the UK£ is getting stronger its making things cheaper to import. :)
