Original Xbox Hard Drive Upgrade Tutorial Guide How To Install New HDD

[@timothycoppinger263]

Is there a way to do this, where the menu screen will look like the normal stock menu screen?

[@NO_obs]

Thankyou for the tutorial it was a great help. If anyone is getting the error code screen instead of booting into hexen with the new drive I managed to fix it by putting the drive in my pc and formatting it to fat32. After doing this i could see the linux string and the xbox successfully booted

[@johnmarston7833]

I’m getting “Your Xbox requires service. Please call Xbox Customer Support.” Error # 13

[@PSUNATION]

Do I have to do a TSOP ? I’ve tried just a hard drive exchange with Hexen discs. New to this. Getting errors 13,14 and 16

[@MrCRios]

Which type of hard drive did you use

[@wisdomwithwit]

Used your vids for the soft mod tsop and hdd hard drive upgrade. Thanks. If you get a chance check out the emustation. Same devs of Rocky 5.

[@middle_pickup]

Thanks for this tutorial. I'm preparing to do this to my 1.6 softmod system. I'm looking forward to doing this!

[@summerleeye588]

I have a question; could I do the same thing but with rocky 5's soft mod and keep rocky5's softmod after doing the harddrive upgrade.

[@AdamKGSalazar611YoungSkilleto]

What about if we get an error 13

[@CurtisHowell]

This looks doable! Thanks!

[@_BELMONT_]

you sir just earned a subscription! i followed all of these steps! From tsop flashing "i went the solder route" to using HEXEN to install a new drive. thank you so much i really appreciate all the help!

[@irpankadir]

Easy to follow. I use HDD Seagate IDE 160GB and TruHexen 2020 to practice your tutorial. Thanks a bunch!

[@jerrymeza]

I had mine moded in Mexico a looooooong time ago, didnt know there was a newer update, will check it out

[@toajames1]

Did this after your last video. Thank you again!!

[@Kyder05]

Thanks man, you rescued my old xbox.

[@troutsoup]

i read about the leaky caps, and ripped that thing off. now i'm going down a huge upgrade rabbit hole :)

[@kynmasters8670]

Oh I didn't know I needed a different cable! Thanks, that helps a lot!

[@jeanpierrepotvin1248]

Hell yeah thank you for your tuto

[@tronalddump8776]

Back in the day I used a eeprom reader on a serial port with a program called ponyprog. Had to put the 3leads onto the service ports on the board. Once hooked load up the program and get ready to hit the record because you got to power on the Xbox at the same time as you hit record. Gives you the unlock key and then you just build it all on the PC. Man I miss those days lol last time I did this was like 2010 and ya a serial port.
