Upgrading the Xbox 360 hard drive CHEAP!

Step 5 Switch hard drives

Once the hard drive has been flashed, you need to begin formatting it. You can format it using the Xbox 360's built-in format function.

1. Take the old hard drive off of the Xbox 360. Do this by clicking the eject button and popping out the drive.
2. Break out the precision tools and the Torx bits, it's time to void the hard drive warranty.
3. Use the T6 Torx bit to remove the 4 screws on the case. You will have to break the Microsoft sticker to gain access to the last one.
4. Once the screws are out, pull the casing off.
!!!!Be careful not to lose any of the pieces on the inside. There will be a black latch piece, the button, and a spring.
6. Use a T10 Torx bit to remove the screws holding the hard drive in.
7. Pull back the metal piece over the hard drive.
8. Disconnect the SATA and power from the drive.
9. Replace the old drive with the new 120GB hard drive.
!!!!Only use a couple screws to hold everything in place. We will be taking it apart again soon.
10. Place the hard drive back on the Xbox 360.
