Step 3Flashing your new 120GB hard drive
Once your boot disk is created, you can flash your new hard drive.
1. Turn off your computer and hook up the 120GB SATA drive. I unplugged all other drives from my computer just in case.
2. Boot up the computer and enter the BIOS - F2 or DEL is the normal key to press at boot to enter the BIOS. However, you might have to consult your owner's manual for your particular model.
3. Make sure your SATA is NOT running in enhanced mode. My laptop did not have an option for enhanced mode... yours might not either.
4. Reboot your computer and select your new boot disk.as the boot device. F10 or F11 is the normal key to select your boot device, but yours may be different. Again, consult the owner's manual.
5. Once you have successfully booted and at a command prompt, type the following:
hddhackr - f

6. Accept the prompts and create a backup.
7. Once the process is done, turn off your computer - NOT REBOOT, ACTAULLY SHUT DOWN.
8. Wait about 10 seconds and then boot up again to your floppy boot disk.
9. Once you are at a command prompt, type the following:
hddhackr -f
This will verify that your hard drive is ready for use in the 360.
10. Turn off the computer, disconnect the hard drive, and boot into your operating system (not to the boot disk).
