is there any easier way to do something like that like just for me to send it to a company to do it or an easier way for me to do it my self?

I reccommend not modding your xbox. But hey, live dangerously.
Time line? Ugh.... time isn't made out of lines, it is made out of circles. THAT IS WHY CLOCKS ARE ROUND!!!

if you are willing to spend about 35 dollars i would recomend Xecuter2.6 modchip. if you want the best of the best get Xecuter 3 for 50. You will also need to buy a bigger hard drive since the one you have in you xbox is about 5 gigs. or you can just learn to burn games and you will not need a bigger hard drive. i have not seen a game exed 6 gigs, so if you want to store 20-30 games get a 80 Gig hd. if you want more or want to store music get something bigger. it is up to you since you are laying down the money. or you can buy a premodded xbox with chip and drive for about $250.
120G HDD + Xecute2.6 = $120

Hardmoding you xbox is not that dangerous. Softmodding will give you more problems. you just have to do some research and know what to do once the time comes.

I disagree. I have a softmodded one and I have never ran into any problem what so ever. Plus with the new system out, why shell out the cash when we will most likely be modding 360 soon. I guess it's up to you what you want to do though. Personally, save the dough for a 360 mod. If you need a good guide to ftp and file transfer check out http://www.xbox-scene.com

I personally prefer hardmoding, there is too much roms for error when you softmod. but once again that is my opinion.

All you need is a PC with some kind of FTP software. If you plan to use a soft mod, go to the above web site in my last post. Or if your just too lazy to search around, here is what you need...
1. An X-Box....obviously
2. Highest capacity memory card
3. 007 Agent under fire. Not the platinum hits disc, the ORIGONAL game disk!
4. FlashFXP, on the pc you have.
5. Action replay or some other x-box controller mod that will allow you to transfer the hack game save for 007 to the memory card.
If you want really detailed instruction I can give them to you in e-m,ail. just contact me.

Since you said from the start you want to add a drive, yes, you probably should get a hard drive ;-)

Modchip i would recomend xecuter 2.6 because it's not too expensive and its really good. hard drive just make sure its ATA not SATA, i dont know what size you want also make sure you can lock the hard drive if you ever want to play on xbox live.

I'm no tsure, but I think the Box has trouble identifing all free space on large drives. When you added the HDD, what program did you use. I would recommend Slayers, or a linuxHDM. Did you add extra partion drive F?
