Lets build an Xsata?

 

Made by butterscanfly of QJ.net

Edited, re-written and redone by iBotPeaches of iBotModz.net

 

Requirements

 

Torx 6 and 10 (same for xbox modding) --- sold at any hardware store or eletronic's store

Xbox 360 HDD --- either came with your 360 or you bought it from a store

SATA cable --- found at bestbuy and radio shack

SATA power cable ---- usually hooked onto another molex cable in your computer, it has the black tip

A computer -- you will have to open it

Xplorer360 --- Download at end of post

 

 

Lets get started

 

Your gonna need to unscrew all 4 of the outer screws on your hard drive shown in this picture

 

 

Then you should carefully remove that and now remove the next 4 screws (outlined in red)

 

 

Then unhook the xbox hard drive completely so you just have the sata connector open.

 

 

Now slide the 360 Hard Drive out of its case and plug it into your sata cable in one of your computers hubs then plug the other side in your 360 Hard Drive then plug your sata power cable in to your Hard drive and your computer

 

 

Now simply boot up your computer, open up Xplorer 360 (download at bottom)

 

 

Now click

"Drive"

"Menu"

"Open"

"Harddrive or Memcard.."

 

 

 

You have just made an Xbox 360 XSATA. You never removed a single warranty sticker too!
