In your signature, you said
My Xbox!:
120 gig hdd... soon to be 250 gig

I thought that the xbox can only go upto 137 gigs

[TylerDurden]

Not anymore! :D

Ya, not any more.

You need to use a BIOS such as X2 4981.67 to be able to use drives over 137GB.

[Pop Smith]

Awesome. Thanks for clearing up the confusion.

[AXmichigan]

since im addressed i think i need to put my two cents in
also for the fact that somethin else is true
now, if u se the 4981.06, u can have an hdd up to size 256 GB on the f drive alone, the g drive is not even needed
its above that that u need the g
just for clarification

[Pop Smith]

:D Thanks for that info m8

[AXmichigan]

no prob
u interest in an hdd upgrade i take it?
waht size do you have right now?

[Pop Smith]

All i have is a unmodded 1.0 Xbox. All though that is soon to change. I am thinking about getting a 200 or a 250 gb hd. I have heard that Maxtor drives are best for "locking" so that u can play on live. But, i am a noob and so, one question, if i lock the hd can i still load games on to the hdd?

Thanks

P.S there is no way at all to play backup games on Live correct?

-Edit- My Xbox hdd size is 8gb.

[AXmichigan]

yea u can load games on a locked hdd
no u cant play backups with xbox live
yes u can with xbconnect
i suggest 250 just cuz its the max u can have with one partition

[Pop Smith]

Cool, thanks for the info.
If anyone knows of a place were i can get a 250 gig 5400 rpm hd for a good deal, post it here or pm me.

[AXmichigan]

look on pricewatch.com

[Pop Smith]

I will

Thanks

[AXmichigan]

no prob

[Pop Smith]

Is this (http://www.the-console-corner.com/x-b_i_t_.htm) the x-bit chip that you are talking about in your sig? I am just curious. Once i get the money i am getting a 250 gig hd as well as a solder-less modchip (I have a friend that can install them for me) and so I thought this x-bit chip's specs looked good.

[AXmichigan]

yup
hmm
250 gig hdd.. and an xbit
what next.. the 4981.06 bios?
