if you opened up your box you would see that it is IDENTICAL to a computer except for a difference of a couple of pins… hell the original hd you have in yours is most likely the 8 gig western digital that they were giving out and the dvd rom is either samsung or toshiba (hopfully samsung or else youll be replacing it soon since the others dont last long) but Its very straight forward. The hardest about either software modding or hardware modding your xbox is going to be finding the software to load on it since its technically “illegal” but isnt at the same time… any kind of add on software you load onto the xbox is made with whats called the Micosoft XDK “xbox development Kit” which is what microsoft has developed to compile xbox programming code. Where you will be told to find all this is MIRC at a little channel called XBINS (which I will tell you where that is) if your familiar with mirc goto and efnet server and search X-bins room and youll find what you need to do… I also have all the software precompiled so if you need any help with how to install it let me know zerosignal0@msn.com
heres a quick rundown on what you need if you hardware mod your xbox
1:)install the modchip using directions they give.
2:)decide what dashboard your going to use (the most popular is evolution x)
so look for the precompiled version of that in xbins that I mentioned earlier
3:)there will be a tutorial in the evolution x software that you download on creating a boot up disc for your xbox that you will load into with your modchip on the first time you boot up with your modchip. this will enable to you to FTP into your xbox to install the actual dashboard files into it. Im not going to explain that because they do a pretty good job in the tutorial that comes with evolution x
4:)do what they say, install the boot files over ftp to your xbox and restart your xbox
5:)enjoy
