HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 апр 2024
- If you are not able to or prefer to upgrade your HDD on PC rather than hot swap methods for your soft modded HDD for original xbox, then this is the video for you. You will need an adapter that can lock your hdd. Below is the Adapters i use.
IDE to USB SATA (Lockable HDD adapter)

Unitek HDD Adapter (To Power The HDD)

Now in some cases you can find an all in one adapter that will lock, in my personal experience this unitek one DOES read HDDs but does not allow FATxplorer to lock it. So that's what the one above does.
Instructions:
1. Plug the first one into the hdd using the pins.
2. Next plug the power part using the Unitek adapter into the 4 pin molex part.
3. Make sure the first (small one) adapter is plugged into your pc via USB.
4. Then just make sure the Unitek is plugged into an outlet for power and once both are plugged into the hdd flip the power switch on.

Very helpful Looked everywhere for a video on this and couldn't find it.Till you showed up
Thx
Thanks for this, this is a far superior method to hot swapping. You've earned a link and a subscription!
@@Mzajac14thanks I try
sweet man thank you so much for the tutorial 👍
yes sirrrrr
On the part when you copy the games over 21:13 on the video i made i mistake lol, in the F partition make a folder called "Games" then copy the game into it.
no problem hell a good video. you may be able 2 edit the vid so it doesn't confuse others. this this vid may blow up since no one else has a good one on the subject
hell I'll probably watch it a dozen times B 4 I get around to doing it
Your are Legend!
Thank you very very much appreciated 👍🏾👍🏾💯💯💯
appreciate the vid
Ok, finally, a video about how to do this with FATXplorer, thank you! So, what format were the games in? Are they ISO or XISO, or? I only have ISO's. Will those work?
Serious, well done!
so my games are all in XBE format but you can convert ISOs to XBE. For more info on this just dm me on discord and i'll help you out. My discord info is on my RUclips profile info
Also, yes ISOs run on xbox but you need it modded for that and a program called "Extras Disc Attacher" Look it up on google then go to the one that is offered on Github.
What about the people that extracted the eeprom from a stock xbox with a non working hard drive? Will this still work? Or is there another way to replace the hard drive without being softmoded or tsop?
@@jerryvillalobos9454 This will absolutely work for that. Yea so just follow the video and then when it comes to the lock part at the end use the key from your eeprom file using the "load from eeprom" button and you're golden, then you can mod it after. FATxplorer Beta formats all the files and structure you need of a stock Xbox hdd.
Nice Video
thx
Is it ok if i buy a usb sata adapter instead of a ide to sata? I think the hdd i plan to buy is sata already
where is the link of hdd backup?
okay, so you need the USB adapter to plug the HDD to the pc for FATX to detect it? can i not just plug it in with a SATA cable to the motherboard?
I see here that your computers hard drive shows up on FATX but for me not even my PC hard drive shows up.
your video is very appreciated. good stuff. i spent all day looking specifically how to even format on fatxplorer lol. tomorrow ill connect my HDD by sata to motherboard. idk if that will be detected by Fatxplorer though.
You need this specific usb adapter so that fatx will allow you to lock it afterwards. You need the other adapter to power it. With that method you’re talking about, that will simply not work.
@@Adio-j ah okay. thanks man. much appreciated. thanks for linking the items i need also. ill be purchasing them and hopefully get this working soon.
Ok, one other issue came up. I was able to "clone" my drive with your method. When the XBox boots it only gets to the loading screen and then it is just gray. I didn't copy the Shadow drive to the new harddrive and I am wondering if it is missing that to boot? Seems like it would need that for the softmod/skins, etc? Thoughts?
You just need the E and the real C , however this is all based off of if you already modded your drive with rocky 5 beforehand. So this should all be working. Did you lock the hdd?
@@Adio-j I did Rocky 5 softmod, yes. I confirmed the drive locked too. I added XBMCGamers skin before I did the clone as I wanted to make sure everything was ready. I noticed that after adding that, the drive had a lot more data in the Shadow C drive. That is why I thought I might need to copy that over? I have been searching all over and cannot find an answer, lol. Was thinking maybe just starting over and trying again.
@@OCDRex11 yes start over and do it exactly as I did then get to your dashboard skins after all is done via ftp is what I would say is best
@@Adio-j Going to try it now. Will report back.
Thanks for all your responses. I know I could track you down on Discord but I am not on there and never have been.
@@OCDRex11 you'll want to be on discord when you get on insignia. Especially pgr2, we have a community dedicated to it. It's a lot easier than communication through here.
