Hardware Needed:

- Hex Screwdriver Set
- Computer
- A modded Xbox (chip)
- A softmodded Xbox with retail disk.
- A bigger HDD

Software Needed:

- FTP software (FlashFXP)
- EvoX dash (to make eeprom backup, install it on both Xboxes)
- Xbox-HQ Auto Installer Deluxe Boot Disk.
Config magic (install it on chipped and softmodded Xbox)
-
Steps:

1. Use EvoX to make an eeprom backup from your chipped Xbox and the softmodded
Xbox (you can install EvoX as a dashboard)

2. FTP the backup Eeproms to your PC, also transfer your C and E drive (softmodded
Xbox) to your pc.

3. Put the big HDD you need to prepare in your chipped Xbox.

4. Run Xbox-Hq Auto Installer Deluxe Boot Disk and make the big HD ready. (Don’t
forget to install Config magic on this HDD)

5. Open the Config magic folder and delete the contents in the data folder and transfer
your backup of the C and E drive to the data folder.

6. Update your chipped Xbox eeprom from the bin file. (Eeprom backup from
softmodded Xbox).

7. Reboot the Xbox and open Config magic and lock the HDD. (Now it's locked with the
eeprom from the softmodded Xbox)

8. Turn off Xbox and remove the big HDD out the chipped Xbox.

9. Put it in the softmodded Xbox

Now, the HDD will work in the softmodded Xbox.

*** Optional if you play on live with your chipped Xbox ***

10. Run Config magic again on the chipped box and update eeprom. (This time with
the eeprom backup from chipped Xbox). This will restore your chipped Xbox eeprom
back to original.

Most people dont use mod chips so im not sure this is the best.
