ive been having so many issues modding my xbox i even tried tsop flashing it to do the tsop method and couldnt get it to work but your tutorial helped me a ton i got a old drive in my console to work and i have you to thank for it even after watching 7 other peoples tutorials yours is by far the best
Thank you, I was stuck because the hot swap always freezed the console. None of the others videos I saw say that you have to change the jumper from cable select to master with the original drive.
my friend you are the greatest, i just finished installing a new HDD on my Xbox. For those who had trouble, i kept getting a green screen when opening chimp, i checked online and used an updated version of chimp. Chimp2618.zip is what i used from this link: www.theisozone.com/downloads/xbox/tools/chimp-26/ You have to also put the linuxboot.cfg in your root E: folder, then put the chimp folder under apps. When you open it via your Xbox it will be called LPartX, open it, and select FATX, that is Chimp application from there, follow Gradinkov tutorial. I went to a certain website to check compatible HDD for my Xbox, bought a 320GB HDD for $18 on eBay. COMPAT HDD List: xboxdrives.x-pec.com/?p=list Good luck everyone and happy modding.
Thanks for the video series.. this was the best "Xbox Modding For Dummies" 'videos I've seen.. excellent work! I would like to install a 2TB hard disk inside my Xbox now, it would be great if you could do a part 6 video explaining how to install a large hard disk (using a Sata to IDE adapter) and how to partition the hard disk accordingly. Could you consider making such video?
160 gb isnt enough for 19 yrs old console????? You can tell me why i should do this upgrade because i bought this console now 3 weeks ago and this is my first time with this xbox
The Postal Teenager 160gb is enough but 2.2tb is max storage an Xbox can take but emulators and all 1,000 Xbox games need space but it’s all up to you on how much stuff you wanna add to the console.
Sweet. I knew keeping an old 80 GB HD was gonna be useful one day. Just hoping it's compatible. Awesome videos man. Definitely going on my permanent playlists. Gonna start this whole project later today.
Hey, i have followed your tutorial from the start however when i launch chimp the Xbox black screens & i am unable to continue, other software doesn't register the hard drive (I have the same model as your hard rive)
Reminder to self. Stock hard drive gets MASTER setting New hard drive gets SLAVE setting i once fried a 250GB western digital hard drive because I accidentally set both drive to master by mistake. Learn from me. ✌️
Hey Gradinkov, thanks for posting this, really understandable. You should (if you can or want to) create a video on how to install a SATA SSD drive into it, I'm pretty sure there are converters that might fit into the Xbox and something else on how to make it quieter, like how to replace fans with new silent ones, etc. Other than that, that one is a helpful video, really!
i did everything when i lunch chimp in the main menu i cant move whith my controller nothing i pluguot my controller when i plugin again i said error usb something like that pls help
Thanks so much for the videos! I was looking for someway to back up my games and replace the HDD without needing a computer to do it and it's long process. I'll be trying this method soon!
hi gradinkov thaks for the awesome tutorial...little question, i used an adapter and installed a 500gb sata hdd. everything went fine but the question is why the menu of the xbox only show a capacity of near 120gb instead of 500gb?
Hi. I have a problem. When I will Clone the HD, appears the Screen where describe the device HDB and the options Yes or NO,right?. Well in my xbox not appears the next screen, just a black banner in the bottom on the gray box, like if the xbox is thinking. Initially, I thought the xbox formatted the HD but after 20 min I realized that it was not like that. The HD is a Samsung 120GB IDE. Help me please, I follow your video step by step.
Hi Gradinkov! I just cloned my stock drive to a 120 gig HD and it worked fine but the cloned drive is showing that it's only the same 8 gigs as the original drive. Any thoughts as to why that might be or how to fix it? I went into the settings and enabled the F Drive but it still just reads as zero. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated!
Great video, I just got a xbox from local flea market and decided to try soft modding it...I have a 500 gig HD that compatible with the xbox. When I use this method will it automaticly format it so it uses the whole 500 gigs? and make its own partitions? The original xbox hd is like 8 gigs? when cloning it will it just close the 8 gigs?
Question i have a 1.5 xbox but its missing the hard drive can i soft mod it if its missing the hard drive? Or i also have a 1.6b that is complete can i soft mod it?
i rly need to do this . i have 2 hard drives but there are too small to put those dvd9 games that my original xbox doesn´t like to play and your step by step tutorials give "corage" (XD) to do it myself....gracias.
Hi! Great Videos there very simple and easy it seems. thanks for sharing it!! Im going to softmod my old Xbox and have a question for this topic. what type of HD can i throw in and what capacity is the maximum accepted? Thanks!!
Please help, i start chimp on my xbox but i cant navigate the menus. Controller works fine until chimp is opened then it just ceases completely. It is an official microsoft S type controller. Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Every time I scan for IDE devices, it keeps thinking the NEW hard drive is the DVD rom and I am 110 percent positive the IDE cable is removed from the dvd rom and into the new HDD and I feel like I'm going crazy does anyone know what the deal is?
What if I would like to switch my already upgraded harddrive to a different xbox? Reason being is because this xbox is hardmodded and I would like my 160GB in it but don't want to erase all of the data present on it. Is that possible?
+Dylan Gendreau I think swapping hdd's only copies the C & E drives. So, if your games and stuff are on F just ftp these to your PC prior to swap then put them back on after swap.
I do not have a molex splitter cause i do not have the money to get one but my current computer rig does have a molex cable is it possible to use that to power on the hard drive please respond. thanks
Hi mate, yes, you can absolutely use the comp's PSU for it, in fact, I also used my PC's PSU for my very first Xbox HDD upgrade. I just didn't mention it coz it's usually more complicated to align all the crap together (i.e. Xbox and PC next to each other).
Gradinkov , Hi I am just upgrading the hard drive. Using your tut. Shouldn't the jumper go into 'Cable Select' rather than master? Not that it works just fine with master here. But is there any specific reason setting it to Master AFTER the upgrade?
nhs2008NC Its because that is how the xbox reads the hard drive after cloning it and that is also how the hard drive that was originally in it reads as well
this is hell my old hdd is down and it not work i looking 4 a way 2 booting and install softmod from pc and i not found ? how 2 install softmod original xbox on an hdd from the pc not using flash or usb etc ...
Couple questions... 1. Can you do this on an already softmodded Xbox? 2. When you do this, can you put the new hard drive into any Original Xbox? Or is it married to the Xbox you performed the hotswap on?
can anyone point me in the direction of software that can format a new HDD for an original xbox with a mod chip? i dont need to deal with any eeprom i just need the stock software and how to format please anyone my original HDD cannot be copied and no longer boots! please i need a method of format without copying and my mod chip doesn't seem to have a format function. it is a xenium 1.0
1. I noticed that your reboot was very fast are you 80 wire instead of the 40 wire that come with xbox? 2. How reliable is that Seagate? as far as hdd's go Ive seen a scary number of 8-9% Failure rate. as seen on www.extremetech.com/extreme/175089-who-makes-the-most-reliable-hard-drives 3. For any that can answer (facts only please). will the chimp app work for Sata because 160 gigs is nice but in this day in age 2tb wich is max original can handle Sata is affordable. If so how do you deal with the master slave issue?
Hi Scott, 1. Don't let this fool you, the video is cut carefully ;) 2. I didn't have much choice, this is pretty much the only drive I could find at local stores. I don't have any numbers on its reliability, sorry. 3. There's no SATA port on the Xbox, so I don't think it's possible in any way, but FIXME :)
well I'm going to try sata anyway using a KINGWIN ADP-06 SATA to IDE Bridge Board wish me luck. I found your drive as well at new egg as a affordable option. Seagate is giving me the chills though when I read it's reviews on reliable HDD's. So far in all my searching this video is the clearest on how to do this. Kudos to you sir Kudos.
okay, got chimp installed now.. but as soon as i disconnect the IDE cable from the disk drive of the xbox, the xbox fails to boot, just flashed red and green light and says to contact microsoft!!
i installed that Chimp thats in the description, but everytime i load it on xbox, it just green screen's and does nothing else.. Anyone point me to where a working version is please?
Can someone help me out please ?! I followed his steps but when i try to use chimp 2.4 my tv just says that the format is invalid and stays in black screen. I bought the same harddrive and splitter and did everything as he showed in his tutorials.
can you remove the HDD and plug it into your pc through an ide/sata to usb adapter then copy the files to another drive that way? or is the file format on the xbox drive unreadable by pc?
I just ordered parts for this exact method, 250gb maxtor and ide/sata usb adapter. If you went that route too, did it work out good? Explorer360 can read and write to a FATX file system, so I think it should be fine, basically bypassing chimp? if anyone has more knowledge on this, please post.
hey, just a quick question; if i replace the hard drive before softmodding my xbox, do i still need to clone the hard drive? i wanna softmod my xbox, but im thinking about replacing the hard drive first.
My first xbox worked just fine, but my second attempt leaves me with an F drive with 0 free space. I'm quite sure I followed every instruction, but does anyone know what causes this?
Hello I am new I softmodded my Xbox 1 week ago but I need a new cable for HD and I live in Germany can u pls send me a link for a good HDD cause I need more space for games :)
Drachenreiterklaus ok thank you for the info. i tried to do it with a 40 gig but i bricked the whole xbox so i had to start new. i am very resistance to doing it again. i think last time i didnt let it lock the hard drive all the way i thought it froze
@@ChapoGuzman896 Now I am able to modify from 64mb to 128mb or ram, do an HDD from scratch up to 2TB and also other modifications. Thank you for the comment anyways.
I have used your tutorial exactly..I am using a 200 gb WD Corsair SE...Everything looks as though it works until I boot it up after the cloning (yes I switched the jumper to master) and it just keeps giving me the chinese writing like you have in your video...I even tried EVERY jumper location to make sure and it still gives me the Chinese writing..pls help...I am using the latest Chimp version..maybe I should go back to a earlier version..I have a 1.6 xbox hard modded. ty in advance..GREAT TUTORIAL THOUGH :)
Bviktor, brilliant videos about Xbox modding really has helped me a lot. I have a question though. My Xbox broke so I got another. Is there any way to transfer the modded hard drive to another Xbox to save all the data that's on it? Not sure I would install it with the hard drive being locked to the board. Tutorial maybe? :D These systems are old so a tutorial would be useful for people who wanted to back up there data and transfer it to another Xbox.
What broke? The HDD then hard to copy the files from it. However, did you backup your eeprom data from the old xbox. See my reply to adultmoshifan87 above. If you did, no EEPROM read needed just the copy of it to use with XboxHDM2. If not, a bit harder you'll need an EEPROM reader to obtain the key to unlock the old hard drive.
MY FRIEND GAMER MEOJS, MAKE SURE THAT THE HDD Y CONNECTED JUST LIKE THE VIDEO. NOW, IT WILL BE WISE TO CHECK FIRST THE TYPE OF FIRMWARE THAT YOUR XBOX IS RUNNING RATHER IF ITS 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 AND SO ON TO 1.6. REMEMBER THAT IF YOU ARE USING CHIMP, AND YOUR FIRMWARE IS 1.6, THEN YOU WILL NEED TO US CHIMP 2.60 FOR IT. TO MY EXPERIENCE, THE BEST IDE HDD FOR THE XBOX ARE MAXTOR HDD (160 GB), AND WESTERN DIGITAL (160 GB). MAKE SURE BEFORE UPGRADING YOUR HDD, THAT THE ORIGINAL ONE IS SET TO MASTER USING THE PINS ON IT, AND THAT THE NEW ONE TO BE ADDED IS SET TO SLAVE USING THE PIN MARKER ON IT. GOT QUESTIONS ON THIS, MARCO SENIOR .... THATS MY FACE
WHAT HDD ARE YOU USING, HOW MANY GB, AND HOW LONG ARE YOU TAKING TO DISCONNECT THE IDE CABLE FROM DE DVD DRIVE TO THEN CONNECT IT TO THE NEW HDD ONCE YOU GET INTO CHIPM AND TO THE BLUE SCREEN WHERE YOU HAVE (PARTX), BECAUSE IT MUST BE WITHIN 5 SECONDS, IT WOULD BE MUCH EASIER IF SOME ONE ELSE HELPS YOU OUT DURING THIS PROCESS SO THAT THE SECON PERSON CAN MOVE DE CURSOR OF THE CONTROLLER FROM ONE OPTION TO THE OTHER ON THE BLUE SCREEN WHILE YOU DISCONNECT AND CONNECT THE IDE CABLE FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER, TO THEN CHOOSE (PARTX), AND GO FROM THERE
im new hdd is a seagate on 80 gig. and im not taking long. iknow it need to be done Before 5 sec, but my problem is that after it load and all i dont find my new driver
My original Xbox might be in need of a new laser or possibly even a new DVD drive. But on top of that, I'd really like to be able to replace its hard drive WITHOUT modding it. I would like to keep the original interface and I do not want to play pirated games. I am aware that original Xbox hard drives are tagged by a system-hard drive ID system and that you can get lockable replacement hard drives. What I would like to be able to do is copy the contents of my existing hard drive, including its ID, onto another hard drive, and the identical ID would make my console think the new hard drive is the old one. Anyone got any ideas?
ive been having so many issues modding my xbox i even tried tsop flashing it to do the tsop method and couldnt get it to work but your tutorial helped me a ton i got a old drive in my console to work and i have you to thank for it even after watching 7 other peoples tutorials yours is by far the best

Thanks a lot mate, have a nice day!

+hakentt thanks very much for the advice
can you tell me what kind of hard drive I need to get

Reminder to self.
Stock hard drive gets MASTER setting

That molex connector was really in there. I guess that's what 14 years of never moving does.

hi followed your tutorial .everything went OK .
but my 120hdd still only shows 8gb.
can you help please.
Just one question bro , are all hard drives compatible or no ? Is there compatibility list ?
Hi. Very thans for the vid. What HDD can you recommend? I dont know which biggest one will be compatible? Can you tell me exact model?
pcplsdxtc .. THE BEST ONES ARE WESTERN DIGITAL.. ALMOST ALL SIZES WORK.. I'VE WORKED WITH 80, 160, 250 ON IDE AND , 500 ON SATA...
What about new hdd? Should it be formatted in any specific way? How many partitions should it has?
pcplsdxtc .. Hi there I usually format my HDD to NTFS.. BUT IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER BECAUSE THE XBOX WILL GIVE IT ITS OWN FORMAT..
I get a message asking if the drive is frozen, after I try locking the slave. Any thoughts?
hi what is the biggest size hard drive you can use for this
would it work on Ndure softmod or only work on SID 511?
Finally did it, Thank You. I'm finally up to 500GB
HI THERE, WOULD YOU PLEASE LET US KNOW THE TYPE OF HDD OF 500GB THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO UPGRADE TO, JUST FOR US TO KNOW WHAT IS COMPATIBLE. THANK YOU.
antonio ramirez Western Digital 500gb Sata Drive with Sata to IDE Converter.
another friend Hd was already installed Mod chip you already transfer to another higher hd file..........?
how much do you whant for your xbox?
When I run chimp with the hd cable, i am getting a message that the resolution is not supported. Please advise
shauncatlett you have to use the original composite video cables for the Xbox.
Why are these popping up on my feed now...?
Because it's awesome!
@@SoundboundOfficial Yep! Making winning possible & getting too Jack for the gulag.
your Xbox classic Chip has not .....?
it did a newer hard drive useing a sata to ide adapter i have no slave switchs and got error 13
My /F: drive hasn't shown up... WHY? :(
Nevermind, I had to enable F and G on storage.
i installed that Chimp thats in the description, but everytime i load it on xbox, it just green screen's and does nothing else..
Anyone point me to where a working version is please?
+hakentt This right here. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks mate.
Can someone help me out please ?!
I followed his steps but when i try to use chimp 2.4 my tv just says that the format is invalid and stays in black screen. I bought the same harddrive and splitter and did everything as he showed in his tutorials.
Yes format is invalid meaning use the original AV cables to the Xbox and don’t use any adapters for the tv
No matter what I do, I cannot get that molex connector disconnected. somebody HELP. Thanks
can you remove the HDD and plug it into your pc through an ide/sata to usb adapter then copy the files to another drive that way? or is the file format on the xbox drive unreadable by pc?
also if I bought a Maxtor ide hdd would that fit? I can get a 250gb Maxtor drive on amazon for $25..
I just ordered parts for this exact method, 250gb maxtor and ide/sata usb adapter. If you went that route too, did it work out good? Explorer360 can read and write to a FATX file system, so I think it should be fine, basically bypassing chimp? if anyone has more knowledge on this, please post.
at 12:50 nothing happens 2 me neither, anyone got an idea to fix this Problem? :(
@SPARTNKiLL3R you would not gain any advantage since the IDE PATA connect had a bottleneck of 133MB/s
This looks super easy to do.
You should do a video on SATA hard drives. You know those larger drives 1tb, 2tb. That would be cool!
Feels weird moving around an HDD while it's in motion. I hope I don't cause a head crash.
Will a sata station work to clone the Xbox hard drive?
Doubt it, the Xbox does some identification stuff with the disk (the lock/unlock part), but you can always try, let us know the results!
is it the same hdd on pc?
hey, just a quick question; if i replace the hard drive before softmodding my xbox, do i still need to clone the hard drive? i wanna softmod my xbox, but im thinking about replacing the hard drive first.
Of course, the disk contains the OS, without that you just have an unbootable Xbox.
Actually, you can't even replace the disk before softmodding, because you can't clone without softmodding.
noobient oh
My first xbox worked just fine, but my second attempt leaves me with an F drive with 0 free space. I'm quite sure I followed every instruction, but does anyone know what causes this?
You have to set the partitions properly.
Hello I am new I softmodded my Xbox 1 week ago but I need a new cable for HD and I live in Germany can u pls send me a link for a good HDD cause I need more space for games :)
could i put a bigger hard drive in then the 160gb ?????
I think it's supposed to work, yeah.
Max is 500 GB IDE
Drachenreiterklaus ok thank you for the info. i tried to do it with a 40 gig but i bricked the whole xbox so i had to start new. i am very resistance to doing it again. i think last time i didnt let it lock the hard drive all the way i thought it froze

If you brick the X-Box, she is so cheap on Ebay. Don't worry and good luck.
Drachenreiterklaus well a buddy of mine had another one he didnt want and let me have it. i am just afraid of bricking it again
Hello, really great job!! congratulation, one question I have, how can we put 2TB to the XBOX?""
Same exact way you put any hdd
@@ChapoGuzman896 Now I am able to modify from 64mb to 128mb or ram, do an HDD from scratch up to 2TB and also other modifications. Thank you for the comment anyways.
why did you install those if you had to delete them

When i upgrade the hdd did i need to flash the xbox than again?
NO, ALL YOU ARE DOING IS TRANSFERING THE DATA FROM THE ORIGINAL HDD TO THE NEW ONE, INCLUIDING THE SOFTMOD ALREADY DONE BEFORE TO YOUR XBOX.
I have used your tutorial exactly..I am using a 200 gb WD Corsair SE...Everything looks as though it works until I boot it up after the cloning (yes I switched the jumper to master) and it just keeps giving me the chinese writing like you have in your video...I even tried EVERY jumper location to make sure and it still gives me the Chinese writing..pls help...I am using the latest Chimp version..maybe I should go back to a earlier version..I have a 1.6 xbox hard modded. ty in advance..GREAT TUTORIAL THOUGH :)
This method isnt for hard modded consoles 🤡
Bviktor, brilliant videos about Xbox modding really has helped me a lot. I have a question though. My Xbox broke so I got another. Is there any way to transfer the modded hard drive to another Xbox to save all the data that's on it? Not sure I would install it with the hard drive being locked to the board. Tutorial maybe? :D These systems are old so a tutorial would be useful for people who wanted to back up there data and transfer it to another Xbox.
What broke? The HDD then hard to copy the files from it. However, did you backup your eeprom data from the old xbox. See my reply to adultmoshifan87 above. If you did, no EEPROM read needed just the copy of it to use with XboxHDM2. If not, a bit harder you'll need an EEPROM reader to obtain the key to unlock the old hard drive.
oke it works but at 12:50 nothing happens for me ?
elamriti uh, might as well be a cable problem mate.
already fixt it with older version of programm
elamriti thanks for letting us know. Which version was working for you?
Wonderful tutorial! Thank you so much!
I cant get my DVD to pull up. Do you burn it as dvd or usb?
Neither you burn the iso file of chimp or just ftp it to the E:\Apps folder and transfer the Linux file to the E:\ root
Can I use an SSD instead of a Harddrive??
+SPARTNKiLL3R I Don't see why not just have to have the IDE to SATA adapter and the molex to a SATA power
+Arrison Williams will i still need to master and slave the ssd and harddrive??
Also Thanks for the very clear video. :)
Thanks for watching :)

THANKS
NICE VIDEO !!!!

*TRIGGERED*
My Xbox never find the new harddrive for me
MY FRIEND GAMER MEOJS, MAKE SURE THAT THE HDD Y CONNECTED JUST LIKE THE VIDEO. NOW, IT WILL BE WISE TO CHECK FIRST THE TYPE OF FIRMWARE THAT YOUR XBOX IS RUNNING RATHER IF ITS 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 AND SO ON TO 1.6. REMEMBER THAT IF YOU ARE USING CHIMP, AND YOUR FIRMWARE IS 1.6, THEN YOU WILL NEED TO US CHIMP 2.60 FOR IT. TO MY EXPERIENCE, THE BEST IDE HDD FOR THE XBOX ARE MAXTOR HDD (160 GB), AND WESTERN DIGITAL (160 GB). MAKE SURE BEFORE UPGRADING YOUR HDD, THAT THE ORIGINAL ONE IS SET TO MASTER USING THE PINS ON IT, AND THAT THE NEW ONE TO BE ADDED IS SET TO SLAVE USING THE PIN MARKER ON IT. GOT QUESTIONS ON THIS, MARCO SENIOR .... THATS MY FACE
My new hdd is set to slave, and the old one to master. i have 1.6 and are using chimp2618. my firmware is good. because i just soft moded it.
WHAT HDD ARE YOU USING, HOW MANY GB, AND HOW LONG ARE YOU TAKING TO DISCONNECT THE IDE CABLE FROM DE DVD DRIVE TO THEN CONNECT IT TO THE NEW HDD ONCE YOU GET INTO CHIPM AND TO THE BLUE SCREEN WHERE YOU HAVE (PARTX), BECAUSE IT MUST BE WITHIN 5 SECONDS, IT WOULD BE MUCH EASIER IF SOME ONE ELSE HELPS YOU OUT DURING THIS PROCESS SO THAT THE SECON PERSON CAN MOVE DE CURSOR OF THE CONTROLLER FROM ONE OPTION TO THE OTHER ON THE BLUE SCREEN WHILE YOU DISCONNECT AND CONNECT THE IDE CABLE FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER, TO THEN CHOOSE (PARTX), AND GO FROM THERE
im new hdd is a seagate on 80 gig. and im not taking long. iknow it need to be done Before 5 sec, but my problem is that after it load and all i dont find my new driver
I would need yo see a short vídeo of what you're getting on screen in order to help you further.
hi friend I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!! your video works perfecty! Now I have a Seagate of 400 Gb :D I was nervous but finally I could change my HDD :D!!!
U my man, U ARE A LIFE SAVER ! TY !
The irony is he's playing an Xbox using a Sony TV
Well, Microsoft doesn't produce TVs, so ... :P
My original Xbox might be in need of a new laser or possibly even a new DVD drive. But on top of that, I'd really like to be able to replace its hard drive WITHOUT modding it. I would like to keep the original interface and I do not want to play pirated games. I am aware that original Xbox hard drives are tagged by a system-hard drive ID system and that you can get lockable replacement hard drives. What I would like to be able to do is copy the contents of my existing hard drive, including its ID, onto another hard drive, and the identical ID would make my console think the new hard drive is the old one. Anyone got any ideas?
ik this late but just soft mod your xbox witb unleash clone your hard drive then go under options on the sid installer and select delete soft mod
NEVER change jumper pins while the machine is on. A surefire way to ruin a hard drive.
thats my first home console
thanks for this video! =)
