For a first timer xebian is probably the easiest and least destructive installation.

If you are running a softmod PLEASE make sure you have your eeprom backed up off your xbox, because things can and do go wrong sometimes..

Install to E: where it should just go on as a folder and a xebian.xbe

I think the wiki explains more clearly than I can how to achieve that.

Quote:
install it on the "E:" FATX partition as image files (which is the safest, non-destructive option)..............→
If you are unsure which option is which, the installation script refers to the "E:" partition as "the game partition".
