    let me make sure I have the correct procedure down for installing a larger (120GB Seagate 7200RPM) HDD and playing retail games...

    For the HDD:
    I just swap in the new drive and then boot the system with the XDK Recovery Disc and recover? :shrug: After which I copy the fdrive.dxt to E:\dxt and then format the partiton? Then i'm good to go?

    As for playing retail games, I *am* a bit confused here. What I have so far is a program called 'nodebug' whose readme states:

    Code:
    This file reboots a debug xbox with debugging turned off. Now you can play Halo ect without having to use a PC to do a xbreboot -p or use xSwitchx.
    
    Enjoy and happy hacking.

    Does this allow me tu run retail discs or do i need to load a different bios? Which should I use, and how do I load it exactly? If not, what is the correct procedure for doing so (keeping in mind, I would rather *NOT* open the console more than I already did to swap in the new HDD - so any kind of modchip I would rather avoid!)?

    Also, as far as running homebrew, I can just use the XDK launcher to load whatever is on the HDD? I know the apps can be compiled for DEBUG or RETAIL, does the XDK launcher care? Or should I just launch my homebrew using whatever dash replacments are out there (and which is best?)?

    In the end, I do want it to launch to the XDK launcher at boot, and then load whatever dash instead of having it boot to the h4x0r3d dash directly, so as to maintain the 'cool' factor ;-)

    You are correct on the hard drive upgrade.But if you want to play retail games and use any app than you need this-Hack-devkit-GueuX-V2.Its a boot from media bios.Just read the info for and and use xbox neighborhood to apply the hack.It very easy to use.
