Please move to "Hardware Customization"

I am not responsible for what may happen to your Xbox 360 Slim. If worst comes to worst, you can return your Xbox 360 Slim, and get a replacement.

Tools Needed

Xbox 360 Slim (obviously)
Torx 6 and Torx 10
Xbox 360 HDD (SATA)
Flathead Screwdriver (for removal of HDD slot)




Step 1: Disassemble Xbox 360 HDD, and get to the SATA HDD that lies within. If you do not know how, you can find a tutorial HERE
It looks like this when disassembled completely

Step 2: Remove the cover of the Xbox 360 Slim HDD cover. I'm pretty sure it just slides off, but you may use a flathead screwdriver. It will look like this when you remove it.

Step 3: Insert your HDD from "Step 1" into the slot in "Step 2." You need to have the top of the HDD facing the top of the Xbox 360 Slim. Be sure to slide in, and holding it with your fingers to as low as you can go. This may damage the slot if you dropped from too high.
Try and get as close as you can to the bottom of the slot, like in the picture below.

Step 4: Push the HDD in gently without putting too much force to break anything. If you were to damage this, you may not be able to use an Xbox HDD of any kind. You may be able to get a replacement though if anything unexpected, and bad happens. The HDD will be a little wobbly, just make sure it doesn't move too much to slip out.



Step 5: Pretty obvious, but put the HDD case slider back on.

Very nice and informative tutorial, just one thing though. Don't have yellow text, it is really hard to see against the skin :wink:
