you mean an original xbox hd? beats me.
as far as I know you can put in any hard drive if you're upgrading it. And using Slayer's evox cd will set it up for you.

I'm usin Slayers EvoX right now. So I can put any hard drive in ? :1drink:

[Gehenna]

Yes I think so, I put a 120GB Western Digital drive in my bro's xbox and had no problems whatsoever. Just backup your old drive to your PC, swap drives, boot up slayer's disc then choose the format new big drive. DONE!
Then transfer whatever you want from your backup (saves and stuff) and you're good to go.

I'm going to save up for a 120GB then :-)

I heard you can use IDE Western Digital. Is yours IDE?

[Gehenna]

yup, sure is. got it for $50 after rebates :D

[TrancE^]

Someone is selling them on eBay.co.uk for £59 - Maxtor 120GB harddrives

Wish I had the money.
tbh i'd buy a 200gb actually.

[Gehenna]

there is some 137GB limit I think. it can be bypassed I'm pretty sure but I don't know how.

Do u know if any of them will work ?

[Zafiras]

m8 if you have yet to notice he is in the US, you are UK... claiming rebates wouldnt work for non US residence so theres probably no use getting it from the store he did

[TrancE^]

but wont they have the same model numbers here in UK?

[Zafiras]

may do... if its a international release or just released in the country... theres some politics behind it to

[Gehenna]

if you're thinking about the rebate, that was about a month ago. I doubt its still available.

anyway here is the one I got, from the store I bought it from.

Can't find it. From what I hear, any Maxtor Western Digital will do

Make sure the drive you get can be locked because you need a locked drive to go on Xbox Live.

I am using a Western Digital Caviar Special Edition 120GB 1200JB ATA-100 8MB Cache (£53.76 Including VAT at 17.5%) in my Xbox. Which is cheaper than the rip-off place your buying from ;)
