Posted: Thu Nov 29, 2012 12:37 am
so ive now got a softmodded box with a standard 10gb hdd, im wanting to replace the hdd with a 160gb seagate out of an old sky+ pvr. im stuck that my desktop has sata and my replacement hdd have ide, i dont want to be ordering off ebay various adapters a so on.
So my question, can i after ive transferred all data from the stock hdd onto my pc slot the replacement in then boot up will my desktop pick the xbox up through the network with the replacement hdd that still hasnt been formatted?
i want to access the pvr hdd whilst its in the xbox so i can erase it and format it for the upgrade, will it work this way or wont my desktop pick it up on my network? (xbox wont boot up etc)
i was considering splashing out and buying a usb hdd enclosure, i take it the xbox will be able to access it as ive now got usb in controller port number 4.
hope ive made sense!!
