Hiya, I'm thinking about having my XBOX chipped and to get one of these hardrives that you can simply insert an original xbox game and copy it to your hard drive and boot the game. I'm thinking of doing it with this UK based site: http://www.kanection.co.uk/product.php/57/27/ . does it look alright to you?
Do you need software to boot games off the HD of the xbox? What size is my XBOX that it came with? 40gig,80 gig what size?
I really will appreciate any help.

Oh, very small then. Umm.... Do you have to have a Modchip to copy games to your HD and play them off there?

Yes, either a mod chip or you can softmod it. Mod chip is easier. You might be able to get 3 games on that stock hd. As cheap as hd's are now I'd get a bigger one. I have a 300 gig in mine. So far I've loaded 59 games and I still have 147 gigs left to fill.

You will need some different programs to run the games. I've used Slayers 2.6 autoinstaller and it works great. It automatically installs all the programs you'll need.

a softmod is faster but the new hd for xbox is slower on softmods as where a chip makes a hd in less then 15 secs

but it is NOT complicated to make a hd on a softmoded xbox...

you just need xboxhdm1.9 and your eeprom.bin and any type of dash on C .....

you acuire eeprom.bin once you softmod it ... for more resourceful links? www.xbox-hq.com will have it all ( not saying this web site isnt good or anything but we specialise on xbox only so we have everything their needed on xbox over their....

get aid then install dvd2xbox slayers is gone... its too old and on a stock hd usualy only 1-3 games fit if not none ... halo 2 wont fit .....

your better off burning the games to disc because eventually your going to run out of space and your going to end up burning the games anyhow.

and the return said > yes you need a chip .... FALSE... you dont need a chip , if you have it softmod then you break the secuiry from there so you can play backups and any other unsiged codes.
