If you got yourself the Xbox 360 Slim 4 gig version only to find out how evil Microsoft can be..

 

1. You cant play some multiplayer games/halo firefight/co op using the 4 gig on board memory :pwnt:

2. Wanted to expand for downloads & probably looked everywhere by now and figured its not available in India & considering shipping from US

 

Well I've got good news for you! You can actually use the old Xbox HDD and put it in your slim - This works for sure & the HDD gets recognized as an original 'Microsoft Device' ! :thumbsup:

 

Steps are simple: (will update pics/video later)

 

1. Use screwdriver to open up the outer casing of the old HDD - beware, the fourth screw is under the hologram - trying to force open the case without opening this screw will break ur casing..

 

2. Use screwdriver again to open the inner casing..

 

3. Detach the hard disk connector & slide it out

 

4. Open the HDD case for the slim and now U've only got to match the male/female - use a torch to see which side goes where..there is only one possible way so it shouldn't be a challenge..

 

5. Getting the right angle is a bit of a 'feels right' thing lol coz it does not fit & then go in further..it just fits & goes no further..but u will know once its in

 

6. I used electric tape to keep it in place :bigyellowgrin: ..no issues now whether u keep ur console vertically or horizontally..

 

You should be all set now! :dance: No banhammer worries coz its original MS device in the first place..

 

Let me know if anyone has any more questions..I ll try to upload pics when I get a chance..
