Error 07 HDD problem

[David88]

Thanks Quall,
So I simply plug in the new Harddrive, andwith the modchip on run slayers auto install off a CD and it will set everything up for me? Is there anything I have to look out for when buying a new Harddrive?
All help is greatly appreciated.

basically, yah. Slayers auto install is just evox, with selections for you to choose from. One might be install MS dashboard, another is format drives. I personally have never used it, but it seems to get alot of praise.

As for HDD's, first, you must choose the bios for your chip. I would suggest X2_4981, but there are 2 versions.

x2_4981_06 = Partition F holds all you availanle space, up to 250gb, all extra space is disguarded
x2_4981_67 = Partition F only holds 137gb of space, but anoteher partition G is added for the remaining ammount.

If you get anything smaller than 250gb, then get the 06 bios. Then choose your HDD. The only things you have to watch out for is if it is lockable, most 20-200gb ones are. It can be 7200 or 5400 rpm's, but it doesn'tt matter much. 7200 rpms are faster (when in a pc, not xbox), but will generate more heat. Vise versa for 5400's. That's really all you have to watch out for. I'd go to tigerdirect.com and check out their sales on hard-drives. They have them quite often.

I never plan to us Xbox live so does it matter if it is lockable or not?

[Quall999]

nope, locking is only needed to play on xbox live, or with the modchip turned off (which is usually because of xbox live.

Will the link to the MSdash from evox still work with a non-lockable Hardrive?

[Quall999]

Everything will work just the same as long as your chip is on.
