    im no pro but iv only ever heard of problems when upgrading a hard drive on a softmod. as a soft mod is on the hard hard drive not the box itself. If u still whant to try youll have to ftp the files back and forth. no matter what u do (or at least try) always make backups of everything. so if ya fusk up u can undo it.

    You need to lock the new hard drive before you put it back into your xbox. Locking a hard drive is not easy when the drive is not connected to the box you want to use it with. Once you unlock the hdd in a softmod xbox, you cannot boot again.
