If I get a 250gb hard drive for my 4gb 360 will I be able to keep my stuff? Will it store the system info twice and is there a way to get around this?
You know you can just buy an emply slim hard drive case online for like $5 right? Just screw the hard drive into that case then its like a legit slim hard drive that can be put in and taken out alot easier.

For anyone that is doubting this guys video, I will stand by him and say that it works.
I have just put my old 60gb hard drive inside my new 4gb slim console, although I didn't use a hammer, I just used a normal screwdriver. After a while the torx fittings will wear down and a normal screwdriver will turn. Just be patient. As said in the video be very careful with the hard drive. I plugged it straight in and it was workin when I turned the Xbox on.
Not only did you use a hammer and pliers on sensitive electronics. n00b. Its also not false advertisement because no memory unit/hdd of any kind has exactly the amount of storage claimed. Every memory unit has less accessible space due to the file system, boot sectors, etc. next time your in a store look at the packages, they clearly state such.
I'm sorry if this has been asked before but if I do this can I still play original Xbox games? I heard that I need a legit hardrive to play them. I really want to play Halo 2 and Shenmue II...
Yes you can! This is why I bought an original 360 HDD after finding out my 4GB slim won't play them. Installed this, it slots in very easily (I just plugged it in first time, no difficulty at all) and now Morrowind starts up.
I did exactly as was shown in the video (except using proper tools to open the hard drive instead of a hammer) and it worked flawlessly. Thanks a million :)
I highly recommend putting electrical or duct tape on the HD so you can pull it out later. Don't tape any part of the circuit board, just the top or the small bit of plastic on the bottom.
why is this so complicated!! i wish i bought a ps3 instead but my 360 was a 1000 times cheaper. agr now i got a stupid ring of death and im thinking of buying a slim since the slims seem to have less errors than any other 360 but i have all my freaking games saved on my hard dive and stuff!!!
agrrrh i dont know what to do!!!! and i just buoght skyrim 2 but i cant play its saved on my old hard drive!!!! AGGHHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!
Thanks dude :D My parents didn't wanted to give me money for an xbox.. I worked and I can only afford a 4 gb one :p With this you maked my day :D Thanks :D
someone help, i am a tech newbie so bear with me, undid the old 360 harddrive the proper way, as me and hammers dont mix !, inserted the harddrive as vid shows and got the click when i put it in, put the casing back on and plugged it all back in, turned it on and waited a few seconds got the xbox screen up then 2 secs later got a red light and an error that says E68 error?? any ideas??
ummm okay so i took the hard drive out and stuff ( with ta few scratches on the green side of it thanks to the annoying metal all over it i had to remove) and i placed it into the slim, it clicked and all was okay, but it doesnt come up on my xbox at all, did the scratches ruin everything??
Bro tip: put duck tape on the HDD and use it to remove the HDD easy instead of playing dentist, problem people with common or lower IQ ;-/) (couldn't resist the trolling but whatever, it works so vote this comment up so others can see it and enjoy their lifes a bit more :D)
its cool bro just chill i just got one got a new slim 4gig didn't plug it up checked for hard drive,nothing so i took it back just to be told the 4 or 2.9 i should say is built in -_- (kinda like the arcade) you can still get a hard drive or use old one like in the video keeping all old game saves -no there is not any thing meant to be in the 4 gig console hard drive slot you must buy one or use old one,you cant use the memory you currently have in your Xbox for boarder lands not enough space.
I've had my Xbox slim for a year and a half now. I just bought borderlands game of the year edition and it wants a hard drive to put it on... I checked in this spot and there isn't anything there... Is there meant to be anything there? I still have memory space in the Xbox and am confused. My warranties up, please help!
i love you... however i didnt follow all of your instructions :P it works fine but i opened the first set of screws on hard drive case with a 5 inch knife and the other set of screws with a small flathead lol it seems to be fine and i can finally enjoy fallout's dlc :P
Battlefield 3 had me download 3 gigs of updates on my 4gb harddrive. what the fuck microsoft, 4gb isn't even enough for one fucking game. get your shit together
@SiddGoneWild dude maybe u should of told me that u need a screw to get the screws thats fuckin super glued to the fuckin hard drive u made it look like all u had to do was hammer it and put it in and thats it !!!!! now it's broke and i cant do shit with it.
He said DO NOT hammer it and gives a link to the proper instructions on how to disassemble it. Observe, understand, proceed with caution. Please remember this in future.
@younghannible There is a green annotation at the top at around 1:06 that takes you to another video on how to properly open it. The annotation note specifically says not to use a hammer.
@SiddGoneWild so basically you take the hdd out of the original 360 hdd case like in the first minute 30 of your vid, then put it in that case which fits snuggly into the 360 slim, as opposed to having to find the middle and everything?
Okay... so does this actually work? I'm faced with the same issue and would like to access my old hard drive. If I jerry rig my shit am I going to be banned from xbox live like people are saying?
Dear god retard alert class! 1.Used a hammer to break open his hard drive case which makes him even lucky it still works 2.Always hold a hard drive by its edges or you could damage it by ESD. Obviously this guy should never be let around electronics.
When you install an external hard drive a lot of DLC's will not install to that location. They will only install to the main hard drive. Example, I have halo reach and only 4 gig 360 slim. I can only install it to that HD it says, not eh external.
Will this method shown allow me to install DLC's and such, to my ghetto rigged HD like the one in the video?
The reason you see only 3 GB of the 4 GB is because the 4 GB is flash memory used in a 32 bit game console which by it's very nature can only address 3 GB of memory, similar to 32 bit Windows.
"Let's create a new xbox design that is not compatible with the original format. Well... unless we make our loyal customers also purchase an additional item to transfer data they purchased from our gaming plateform.OR we can make it easy but they have to void their warranty to do so. That way when the $300 console we created over-heats in 4 weeks we don't have fix it for free."
I stand by my original comment. Typical Microsoft garbage.
@82977831 hahahaha i laugh at your lack of knowledge. i got my xbox 360 slim @ target for $140. that's less than half of your estimate dumbass. "not compatible" my ass, it works just fine and if you're worried about invalidating a warranty on a $43 hard drive (focalprice) then you can go buy an original ps3 on release day for $800 fucking dollars. oh and f.y.i. - i've been loyal to microsoft and they have never ripped me off. all my systems have worked for years upon years...
Happy for you dipshit. But It's not an estimation. Look it up at typical retail store. If you want a 250 Gig console then you pay $300.
And once again you're wrong. And nothing I said was incorrect. The old hard drives do not fit the slim model. That is called incompatibilty... unless you buy a separate transfer cable OR void your warranty by cracking the shell. And thank you for proving my point... I should not have to buy and additional hard drive.
@82977831 ...continued... (my original xbox has lasted since the release date, AND STILL WORKS!!!) since i got my xbox 360, I've played it hours upon hours and it's never over heated (and it's crammed into a small cabinet with little ventilation).
P.S. - suck my dick cuz now i have to go over to my cousin's house to re-solder his cpu back onto the mother board after it has over heated *calls cousin* 3 fucking times. jokes on u asshole. if the soldering doesn't work like that ps3 POS does...
@82977831 "241543903" all i have to say to you. google it. oh! and one more thing- i never proved your virgin ass right. i only made it sore. and that my friend is you are a sore loser who has no respect for their surroundings... make sure you slam the refrigerator door...
Really? That's what you were trying to convey with your incoherent, unintelligible ramblings? Well-crafted moron. Maybe instead of playing xbox and sucking dick you should pay better attention in 2nd period English class. That's the class you have in between your first period beating and 3rd period beating.
I have plenty of respect for my surroundings... just none for you.
@82977831 "rambling" lol, i actually have ocd. now how do you feel to make someone that types on their keyboard in 120bpm... and counts lines on the road... and tries to find the exact center of a tree and bore my eyes into it... and commonly thinks about common body functions like blinking, food digestion, and blood flow. thanks asshole, that really wants to make me go play halo, or the best looking racing game on 360- forza 4.
This is cool I'ts not for me though. My grandson is 7 and he likes to tinker with things, There is a high probability that he would be curious and want to mess with this mod:/ Our xbox slim is brand new.
This really works. If you have any doubt, call your local gamestop and they can tell you it's legal. Microsoft even sells a tool to help get the case off. Good video
I have a problem. my xbox freezes at the "xbox 360" screen. when i take my harddrive out it then unfreezes and loads to the main screen, but once i put it back in, or if i have it on the xbox originally, it freezes! anybody know what to do?
@SemperFiScout79 there is an option to clear cache and to format the hardrive do both of these and that should sort your problem out.
formatting the hardrive you will loose your saved game data and any downloads you did but you can allways download them again no problem and you dont loose your online game data because it is stored elsewhere on a server for whatever game you play.
Is there a way that I can attach this externally? It's because i'm looking to get a 4GB Xbox 360 S, but I think that i will need more memory for said console, and I don't especially want to risk breaking my new Xbox or voiding any warranty I may or may not purchase. I would really appreciate help, seeing as Christmas is coming and my own Xbox is one of the two main things I want to get (the other being The Elder scrolls V: Skyrim).
Or even a 500GB laptop drive?

The reason you see only 3 GB of the 4 GB is because the 4 GB is flash memory used in a 32 bit game console which by it's very nature can only address 3 GB of memory, similar to 32 bit Windows.

Incorrect. But nice try.
"Let's create a new xbox design that is not compatible with the original format. Well... unless we make our loyal customers also purchase an additional item to transfer data they purchased from our gaming plateform.OR we can make it easy but they have to void their warranty to do so. That way when the $300 console we created over-heats in 4 weeks we don't have fix it for free."
I stand by my original comment. Typical Microsoft garbage.

@82977831 hahahaha i laugh at your lack of knowledge. i got my xbox 360 slim @ target for $140. that's less than half of your estimate dumbass. "not compatible" my ass, it works just fine and if you're worried about invalidating a warranty on a $43 hard drive (focalprice) then you can go buy an original ps3 on release day for $800 fucking dollars. oh and f.y.i. - i've been loyal to microsoft and they have never ripped me off. all my systems have worked for years upon years...

Happy for you dipshit. But It's not an estimation. Look it up at typical retail store. If you want a 250 Gig console then you pay $300.
And once again you're wrong. And nothing I said was incorrect. The old hard drives do not fit the slim model. That is called incompatibilty... unless you buy a separate transfer cable OR void your warranty by cracking the shell. And thank you for proving my point... I should not have to buy and additional hard drive.

@82977831 ...continued... (my original xbox has lasted since the release date, AND STILL WORKS!!!) since i got my xbox 360, I've played it hours upon hours and it's never over heated (and it's crammed into a small cabinet with little ventilation).
P.S. - suck my dick cuz now i have to go over to my cousin's house to re-solder his cpu back onto the mother board after it has over heated *calls cousin* 3 fucking times. jokes on u asshole. if the soldering doesn't work like that ps3 POS does...

Really? That's what you were trying to convey with your incoherent, unintelligible ramblings? Well-crafted moron. Maybe instead of playing xbox and sucking dick you should pay better attention in 2nd period English class. That's the class you have in between your first period beating and 3rd period beating.
I have plenty of respect for my surroundings... just none for you.
Again, typical microsoft garbage.
And I appreciate you proving my point. I win.
Goodbye.

@82977831 "rambling" lol, i actually have ocd. now how do you feel to make someone that types on their keyboard in 120bpm... and counts lines on the road... and tries to find the exact center of a tree and bore my eyes into it... and commonly thinks about common body functions like blinking, food digestion, and blood flow. thanks asshole, that really wants to make me go play halo, or the best looking racing game on 360- forza 4.

How to take my xbox hard drive apart
jjadavis8207 2 months ago
This really works. If you have any doubt, call your local gamestop and they can tell you it's legal. Microsoft even sells a tool to help get the case off. Good video

I have a problem. my xbox freezes at the "xbox 360" screen. when i take my harddrive out it then unfreezes and loads to the main screen, but once i put it back in, or if i have it on the xbox originally, it freezes! anybody know what to do?
SemperFiScout79 2 months ago
@SemperFiScout79 there is an option to clear cache and to format the hardrive do both of these and that should sort your problem out.
formatting the hardrive you will loose your saved game data and any downloads you did but you can allways download them again no problem and you dont loose your online game data because it is stored elsewhere on a server for whatever game you play.
hope this helps your problem

ScreamsofTheInsane 2 months ago
Is there a way that I can attach this externally? It's because i'm looking to get a 4GB Xbox 360 S, but I think that i will need more memory for said console, and I don't especially want to risk breaking my new Xbox or voiding any warranty I may or may not purchase. I would really appreciate help, seeing as Christmas is coming and my own Xbox is one of the two main things I want to get (the other being The Elder scrolls V: Skyrim).
