First off, if you decide to replace the HDD or not to. You will have to at some point open up your XBOX, to remove the Old Drive.

To do so you will need some special Torx Bits, to do so....

You will need the following set of Tools if you don't already have 'em.

Hardware (i.e. Hand Tools) you'll need.
TORX-20 To remove the 6 Case Screws (4 under the Rubber Feet, 2 along the center)...

QWIX is really only for pushing... *.iso Files to the XBOX. That said however you can also use it to pull Games off of the XBOX, and save them as *.iso Files as well. But to use it you have to be on...

Zorlan is correct. Since your "Chipped" all you have to do is to download the Slayers EvoX Auto Installer v2.7 Disc. Or any of the other such Installer Discs out there, and burn it to a DVD-R. The...

If your "Chipped" (and it seems like you are!), then you're definitely NOT Softmoded. A Softmod is a Software only Mod that needs an explicit Game Save Hack (AFAIK: 007 Agent Under Fire, Splinter...

I would advise you to check and see what kind of Mod your running (i.e. Chip (IMHO THE BEST!), TSOP Flash (Second best), or Softmod), first. Knowing this will make your life a lot simpler in the long...

No you do not need a direct Internet connection. Though its useful for other stuff like XBMC though.

I'm fairly sure you have an Ethernet. On your PC / DSL Modem / Router. What you may not have is a pair of CAT5 Cables to run from your PC to your Router, back to your XBOX. In which case I don't know...

Ok First off I don't care for Softmods. IMHO they cause more problems then they solved. Well for me at the time. Anyway. Perhaps that new game at the time was overwriting my Softmod Dash. Causing me...

One other thing you might want to try first is to backup what ever you can to a temp HDD. Then reformat the HDD say under Windows, and possibly run a chkdsk /f over it. YOU'LL WILL NEED TO UNLOCK THE...

Has the XBOX in question even been Chipped or TSOP flashed? If so you could use something like the Slayers EvoX Auto Installer Disc v2.7 to fire-up ConfigMagic to re-lock that Drive.

If you...

Sounds like what recently happened to my old 120GB HDD. Sadly these things just aren't immortal.
The sad part is you can't really get a'hold of any P-ATA (IDE) Drives these days as everything is now...
