Is there a tutorial on putting a bigger hdd in the xbox without downloading viruses? I want to put xbmc on my 1tb hdd, and transfer my games to that hdd instead of having a disc drive.

Thanks

Makes sense.

A bit late but whatever. Someone said you can't use WD40 to remove the thermal paste. I did it on my 360 Elite and it's fine, WD40 is actually way better at removing the terrible paste that Micro$oft puts on. just lay the board/ heatsinks down on a flat surface and put some Wd40 right on the paste, ...
