I hope I'm not bumping topics but I had to post. To get onto live with a bigger hard drive and not get banned here's what you have to do. First off it needs to be a chip mod because a softmodded harddrive can't go on live in the first place. The chip will allow you to boot to your ms dash board. Secondly, this harddrive/ modchip must be done prior to your xbox ever signing onto live. If you have ever signed onto live with your xbox it will not work. Bungie takes your harddrive signature and pairs it with your motherboard, so if bungie sees a 200g harddrive paired with the motherboard for the first time it thinks ok cool, but if you change the HDD after you have logged onto live with a smaller or original harddrive bungie will see that the Motherboard and HDD do not pair up anymore, and it's off to banville. Anyone can tell me i'm wrong but I have a 180g in my xbox and play online all the time. If you have questions plz go ahead and post. Hope this helps
