So if I do this can I just put the drive right into an xbox 360 slim since you can put a 2.5" drive into a 360 slim?

@cowsrock94 yes, you can, it will work, but you must be careful. It may ban you if it doesn't recognize it. Read up on it a little more first.

No special tools you used one right at the beginning

[TheUnixCube]

@madboyrhyd no special tools, just different size | screw drivers. Not X ones, but | flat head screw drivers. The small ones. For glasses etc.

[equate5]

is that a regular flat head screwdriver you using?

[TheUnixCube]

@equate5 yes, but when you turn it, you must make sure you press DOWN on it so it doesn't strip/shred the screw.

@dolma66 Yep! Borrowed one of those thin screw drivers and switched the cases. Just follow this video and it'll be piece cake.

@Garthgoyle HAHA, I'm in the same boat bro lol. But im only replacing it with a 60 gig. Do u you how u would transfer all the stuff on the original HD to the new one?

[Poldariser]

moving a hard drive on carpet is not safe for the hard drive. You can damage it by producing static electricity.

you are too slow

I thought I needed a special screw (T6 I think) to open my HDD, once I saw this video (I knew I had the same screw driver and I opened up my 20 GB HDD, now I get to install this 320 GB WD HDD :)

Thanks bro
