Since you have a softmod, do what S10MAN said or just
use XBMC to find your PC and download them from your PC
to the correct folders metioned above. :)

EVERYTHING XBOX SOFTWARE IS FREE.. so forget dealing with the scammers.
Now.. your F has an error.. if it's still a stock drive it will only be small and you have probably filled it up.. it only takes one retail game.
You need to learn to ftp to the box.. there are literally hundreds of guide scattered about with how to do that.. and everything else as well.
It's a softmod?.. if so slayers isn't what has been used.. you just have evox installed.. so don't under any circumstances mess with any files on C: or E/dash.. you can have a go at formatting F:.. but touching e or c WILL mess everything up in a way that you will have a very hard time recovering from.

F can be full.. or not formatted.. or even on a 1.0 or 1.1 non-existent due to the hdd being only 8.4 gigs and/or not enabled in the dash XD .. hahaha
a softmod has a full set of C fies backed up on E.. that takes a good 500mb's or so
try formatting F
Anything else I can suggest.. yeah.. how about reading some of the many many stickies?

Now now...
You'll even find one of the main stickies has detailed softmodding notes added by my good self ie until just over a year ago i was an xbox noob and all i did was read a few stickies by 'chunkhead' and i was up and running overnight. I've since done a few more xboxes and updating them is usually a doddle now.

more then 2 months has passed between now and your original post... and you still haven't figured stuff out.... you are indeed a newbie and a real slow learner.... but here we go:
go get yourself the aid 4.3x (not sure what the latest version is) disc (dvd), it has 4+ gig of apps and stuff on it. all programs you (may ever) need will be on that disc. the slayer (2.7) is very good (i myself use that) but has less programs on it (for me that is oke, since i ftp stuff over).
you have a chip in it, that is good. it has 2 advantages which will make it easier for you to upgrade to a larger hdd. which chip you actually have doesn't matter. namely, if you boot of your chip the aid / slayer disc will boot automatically (the first advantage of the modchip).
meaning, put the slayer disc into the dvd drive and reboot your xbox so that it boots of your modchip!!!!
how to prepare your new drive?
take out (of your xbox) the old hdd (stock 8gig), put in the new hdd (40 gig). then boot the dvd (aid) or cd (slayer) OF YOUR CHIP. then (referring to the slayer 2.7 disc i use) choose the option to build an upgraded hdd. the disc will format the hdd and put all the files there where they are suppose to be. the slayer has all the apps (avalaunch, xbmc and some emulators). then choose your primary startup dash and your good to go. keep in mind that the slayer disc will only work as long as you boot of your chip. if you do not boot of your chip, after preparing your hdd with slayer, it will boot into the ms dash!
for the aid disc, i assume something similar goes. but maybe that has an option to install a softmod install on your xbox, if so (a softmod install i mean) it should work both of the modchip and ms bios. but maybe someone else who knows the content of aid can elaborate on that...... but the slayer disc install will only work as long as you boot of your chip every time!
if you have a chip, you do not have to lock your harddrive to your eeprom (the second advantage of the modchip). but if you boot of the original ms bios, the hdd has to be locked to your eeprom. with slayer/aid you have an option to lock your hdd. no need for the eeprom reader, your modchip will read out the eeprom and lock your hdd to your eeprom!
the aid disc i do not use, but there are tons of apps and emulators on there. if you want a lot of programs, go get that disc (Around 4.5 gig). slayer is around 650 mb, so using bittorrent you will get that faster.
for the roms, doesn't really matter where you put it (at least the emulators i play/use). i play snes games, and the snes emulator doesn't care where the snes roms are. within the snes emulator you can browse to the directory where the roms are.
go learn how to use ftp, it is so simple. any half-brain peanut can get that to work and it is almost a must to put files over to your xbox.
a good dvd media are the arita and platinum dvd's! both plus and minus work for me on all drives (philips, samsung and the thomson!!) same for philips 4 speed CDRW (which i use for the slayer disc)

ftp'en was the hardest thing to get your head around.
btw. not all hard drives are lockable. i myself bought around 10 or someting like drive with 40 gig capacity. and guess what, that is the really small proportion that is not lockable.... so if your drive isn't lockable either, don't bother with locking the drive (will not work) and always boot of the chip (that way the drive does not have to be locked)!!!

ehmmmmmmmmmmm......
if you take out a harddrive out a computer (not a xbox), the harddrive isn't locked.... pc's don't make use of locked harddrives, only xbox do by demanding that it is locked to the eeprom..... pc's don't work that way... no need to unlock a pc drive that isn't locked to begin with.
so in your case, no need to build the eeprom reader. it has no use in your case.

that is all that you have to do.....
dvdrw... might or might not work, some drives are picky, some drives aren't able to read some types of dvdrw. just burn it and try if your dvd drive likes the media.
