How to install a new hard disk into your xbox.
This tutorial assumes you have a working mod chip in your box and can
burn a cd format your xbox will read.
what you will need:
| Two blank CDs of a variety your
xbox will read |
The first is to get FTP running, the second is
to build your actual installer |
| a copy of EvoX 3752, and an xbox
ISO creator |
EvoX is your FTP server, install utility, and
ultimately your dashboard. The disk.bin file is a descriptor of
the partition table. |
| a crossover cable |
to connect to your PC |
| the 2 ini's at the end of this
article (please note, this ini will only install your new HDD,
it is not a 'working' EvoX ini. |
The first ini is the ftp server, the second is
the install script. |
| First create an xbox disk with the
following: |
| root dir: contains EvoX 3752 named default.xbe |
| the FTP server disk ini file (named evox.ini). |
| A large file you have copied and renamed "abc.dat"
That's it. |
| Burn that disk and place it into your xbox.
You should see EvoX come up. |
| Configure your PC ip address to 192.168.1.101
and FTP into your xbox. Copy the contents of the drive to your
computer. Make a tree as follows: |
Run the save bios / eeprom item on the menu
FTP to your Xbox and place the entire contents of your c drive into
the folder named c, likewise for the e drive (assuming you want to keep
your save games). Into the f drive goes any applications you want to
install up front (like boxplorer) to do this place the application in a
sub folder either under apps or games. Name the folder after the
application and name the executable default.xbe.
Next, go into the c folder and place a copy of EvoX and an INI file
(the one you plan on using as your dashboard) into the folder. How you
name the XBE depends on your BIOS. If you BIOS is patched to look for
evolutionx.xbe before xboxdash.xbe then just leave EvoX at it's default
name. If your BIOS loads xboxdash first then rename xboxdash.xbe to
msdash.xbe and place EvoX into the folder with the name xboxdash.xbe.
(hopefully I did not loose you there)
| In the root folder (xbox_install_disk_folder)
you need to place the following: a copy of EvoX named
default.xbe, a copy of the second ini file (the installer ini),
named evox.ini, and the disk.bin file from the folder /xbox_install_folder/c/backup. |
| Again, convert the disk to an ISO and burn it
to a disk. |
| Now would be a good time to remove your old
Xbox drive and place it aside. Put the new drive into your Xbox. |
| Place the CD into your box. This time when the
box boots up you will have an additional option: build drive.
This option will nuke the disk that is currently in the xbox and
replace the contents with those on the CD. everything in the c
folder will be on the c drive, e on e, etc. |
Final step: Remove the CD from the drive, reboot the box, enjoy.
PHP-Nuke decided to possibly corrupt these files (seems to be
browser dependant) here
is a rar of them.
