RE: Xbox softmodding

[Marcus Warrington <marcus.warrington@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry Paul, never done a HD upgrade as well, since all my music/videos
are on a separate server.



I believe it is possible but is a bit more complicated than simply
softmodding the existing HD

I might give it a go on the new Argos box I've got, since this will be
going in the youngest sons bedroom (along with PS2.. GC.. Wii) , so it
might make sense to have all the games installed locally.



I'll let you know if I give it a go..



Marcus

Marcus, have you done a HDD upgrade with a softmod? - If so, how did you
find it?
