What you need:
1) Modded Xbox with Evox dash (1.8.1812 or later) installed.
2) A 10 GB HD (The one that comes preinstalled in any Xbox).
3) FTP ability and knowhow.
4) About 10 min.

1) Connect your pc to your xbox using your favorite ftp client (eg. FlashFXP).
2) Create a backup copy of your evox.ini file.
3) Create a new evox.ini based on your backup and replace everything under "[Menu]" with :

For EvolutionX version 1.8.2594 till v1.8.3285

Section "Root"

I'm sure it would help others if you posted this question in a thread that corresponded to the title but help me out here; if you bought and installed a new hard drive...where is the problem? Did you just put it in your xbox and post this or is this a hypothetical question?

Please start a new thread and repost your question and a response to my questions. Make sure the title matches your question and I'll do my best to help you out. THANKS.

Many options available, same outcome. I rarley softmod, almost never but if I do, I use xboxhdm. I have an install disc premade with all the programs and a few emulators and roms. You can read about it here: http://www.xbox-scene.com/software-result.php

In addition to that program you will need a floppy disc for saving your EEPROM and transering it to the new hdd.
