Seems that everday I read a request where someone asks "Can you provide me with a tutorial" the answer in most cases is YES, but a simple view of the first threads in each forum quite often reveals the very same tutorial being requested, if I can find it or notice it, I think why couldn't this person.
I often wonder if Google only seems to work with my web browser or on my PC. I read questions like "could someone explain how I setup a samba share" and I think, instead of posting that question here within the forum wouldn't it make sense for them to google "how to create a samba share" Or do they want someone else to do their homework for them?
I suggest that before you attempt to mod an Xbox that at the very least you do a little research and reading on your own. It only makes sense that one should try to learn the main components of an Xbox and the purpose of certain apps and programs.
My first attempt at modding an Xbox I followed a tutorial, it was fairly well written. It provided instructions on how to completely disassemble an Xbox. A few lines after the instructions for disassembling the Xbox completely, it said "you only need to remove the Xbox's HDD and DVD-Rom drive if you have brand X chip" then I realized this meant I had wasted all my time, drawing diagrams and taking notes on everything that I had done; when all I initially had to do was take out the hard drive and the dvd-rom drive and put in the chip, I had taken a process that may had taken 30 mins and made it into 2 hr project. (I can do all that in 5 mins now but my first modchip install took me forever) I will admit I was upset at first but then as I thought about it, had I bothered to read up on what I was doing I would have discovered that I did not need to completely disassemble my Xbox. After that experience I went to Barnes & Nobles bookstore sat down and started reading every book I could find about the Xbox over the course of 2 or 3 evenings I learned a lot. What I am trying to say here is, if you wanna tinker with your Xbox make an effort to learn about it first most bookstores will let you read the book in the store but buy a coffee/smoothie or something! to keep from being a total leech read "Hacking the Xbox" or "The Black Art of Xbox Mods", what have you got to lose? besides time but it will be time well spent...
