hey, well I know a little bit I can go ahead and tell you that you need a converter for SATA's then you need atleast something to power up the hard drive like a PC or another xbox side by side, then you need to have CHIMPS installed on your xbox, if you have a 1.0-1.5 I think you need a certain kind of version of chimps, which is the original, if you have a 1.6 xbox then you need a version that supports your xbox of 1.6.
you need to set your jumpers to slave (new HD) you don't need to use XBOX HDM since CHIMP is much easier,better,faster, and safer.
you need to be able to open your xbox with a tork screws, or modify your screw driver but it can damage your screws.
Pointy pliers, the kind you see in movies.
a work place, to keep all your stuff in place, so you don't mess up your Xboxes, or burn em out by touching a electrical shock.
