questions about xbox xtender

[twikoff]

i just recently bought a used xbox that was premodded with the xtender chip

but one of the things I want to do, is upgrade the harddrive.. and the more I read.. this doesnt seem to be possible with the xtender... is this true?

also.. what about the ability to turn off the chip to play xbl games?


if Im not able to do these things.. I guess Ill end up pulling the xtender off and picking up a matrix..

shouldnt be any trouble removing the xtender.. should there?
