Now we are going to restore the backwards compatibility partition, to make this as easy as possible for beginners I have created a CD with the applications and files you will need to do this. You will be asked to enter your consoles serial number. Highlight the new drive, press Y to go in to device options and format the drive. To remove simply bend them and they should snap off with ease, the enclosure will still re assemble fine without them don't worry.Īfter you have re assembled the enclosure connect the drive to your console, power it up and go to the memory management screen.Īll been well you should have an unformatted hard drive show up, if your Jtagged console is Jasper with 256 or 512mb of internal storage be sure you format the actual hard drive and not the internal storage, you can tell them apart by the icon, as seen in the photo below. Now you want to insert the new drive in to the 360 caddy / enclosure, depending on the size of the 2.5' drive you might need to snap the 4 prongs off the 360's drive enclosure as seen in the photo below.ĩ.5 mm drives will fit in the enclosure without having the prongs snapped off, however the slightly larger 12.5 mm drives will require them to be removed. Now you can unplug the power and sata cable from the drive, then slide it out pulling the drive gentily up as you do so. Now you have 4 more screws to remove, these require a Torx T10 screwdriver, you can then remove the metal case. You can now remove the top, the mechanism to lock/unlock the HDD-bay on your Xbox 360 console might fall out… don’t worry it’s easy enough its put back together, just look how it is in my photo below. You will need a Torx T6 screwdriver to do this. Unlike upgrading the hard drive on a console that is not Jtagged no hacking with Hddhackr is required, we are now going to remove the old drive from the 360's hard drive enclosure and swap it with the drive you wish to upgrade to. I purchased a 1TB Western Digital Scoprio Blue drive (WD10TPVT) at Ok lets begin, the first thing you will need to do is purchase a hard drive, any 2.5' SATA hard drive will work fine so feel free to buy which ever hard drive you desire. Upgrade the hard drive to any size 2.5' SATA hard drive.A Jtagged console can use any 2.5' SATA hard drive, the make, model and size do not matter. If you have an Xbox 360 console that has been Jtag hacked I'm sure you will be aware that a lot of the security restrictions that are present on stock Xbox 360's are removed, one of these restrictions is the hard drive size limit.
