Use the AID 4.4 disc, which can be downloaded off the Afterdawn forums.

I pressume so. I have mine softmodded with a 250GB HDD. Be warned that not every HDD works on the Xbox, just a select few. You can find HDD compatibility on the internet, mainly Xbox Scene website.

At least when softmodding, the most important thing is to make a backup of the Xbox, similar to making a backup of your computer. Part of this backup may (or SHOULD contain) a file called eeprom.bin. This file, which differs on each Xbox console, is what I use to install a bigger HDD.

hi there

i have a old xbox lying around in my house and i am thinking of making my xbox into a media center for my parents.

my set is modded with xecuter2 modchip but the hard drive is only 10gb. is it possible to upgrade to a 500gb hard drive and make this xbmc work as well?
