I have a softmodded xbox. I ruined the HDD because I erased all the Dashboards. I bought another hdd and I wanted to know how to put it in a softmodded xbox ?? I tried just replacing the old one with the new, however it did not work.
if you made a backup of the eeprom.bin you can just burn that to a disc using xbhdm and boot up and lock your hard drive and your done, if not you need a modchip
Before I destroyed it I made what I though was a mod backup, however I have not tried using it. I'll try.
