All you need is a Serial ATA card with a SIL3112 chipset. If your onboard SATA is SIL3112 or VIA then you're set. Download the slax2 .iso file and burn it to a CD. Boot your PC with the SLAX cd in it and the hitachi hooked up to the 360 via SATA. Reboot pc, take out slax, let windows load and flash the 360 drive.

Only things you need to buy
SATA CARD - SIL3112 chipset
Blank CD for Slax.iso
