With a softmodded xbox and XBMC, is it possible to have a master slave HDD setup, with the stock HDD as the master, and the other as the slave? Otherwis, can you do HDD swaps without a modchip?

ohh, do you mean where you are able to quick swap between two modded HDD by having the IDE cable and the power supply cable on the outside of the xbox?

Do I need a modchip to be able to run off of a custom HDD even if I have all the same files? If so, is there a limit to the size of the HDD?

Oh and check out this way of swapping HDD's:

You can run a custom HDD without a odchip, but it will be more time consuming. I did it with mine, and enjoy lots of storage for all my applications, and linux. So, it can be done, the only catch of course is that a softmodded system can only read one HDD at a time.

Search for the phrase XBoxHDM on AD, and you'll find many many topics and tutorials on it; that's how you switch HDD in a soft box.

Is there a limit to the size of a non-stock soft modded HDD?

Even with EvoX? Cause it says on the readme, that with the new version, it is compatible with HDD's over 137GB. Is that only with a modchip?
