Got the Xbox running and setup just the way i like it! I wonder what the previous owner had installed before i wiped it - with all the games installed as i had before, i still have 70 gigabytes to spare. And that's including uninstalling whatever i could easily find. Thank you for the image!

Alright! So i'll basically just setup my current HDD as a new HDD i'll assume! Thank you so much!

Maybe i've done it a little bit more confusing for myself. Is flashing the same thing as reinstalling or are they completely seperate? I'll try to burn it down in preparation cause i'm on the fence about wanting to make a clean install

Hey! I'm a complete newb when it comes to this - i have an Xbox with an old Matrix chip in it. Currently it's running Slayers as that's the way i received the Xbox when i got it from the Facebook Marketplace. From my understanding i just need to burn whichever version i want to use, insert it into my xbox and then it'll do a fresh install i'm assuming of the entire Xbox? Or is there any other pre-requisite i should be worried about? Is it possible to flash without getting my HDD formated?

I'm just a guy from Sweden who got their hands on a modded Xbox again! The xbox is easily my favorite 6th gen console - if not even my favorite console of all time. Wouldn't be too surprising considering the fact i grew up with one, so i am a bit biased! This would be my third Xbox, the first one had fallen to the evil clock capacitor, and i've not dared starting it again. That was my first and softmodded one, my second Xbox i kept completely stock for Xbox Live purposes, and a week ago i found an amazing deal for a pre-modded Xbox. Truth be told though, i don't have alot of experience when it comes to the actual mod itself, nor how to actually perform one outside of guides i've read. Back in the day the original Xbox had been modded by a professional repair/modding shop. Right now i'm about to research how to replace the hard drive, as the one that came with is 250gb so a little bit lacking for my taste. I've been collecting more retro consoles for a year now, i've got my hands on a Super Famicom, a Mega Drive, and a PS2. So when i saw this modded Xbox i just couldn't pass the opportunity up. That being said, it's taken be deeper into "the hole" and i've now ordered SCART Switch for all the consoles using RGB SCART, and since i'm always on the hunt for the best picture quality i recently obtained a RetroTink5x, but since the OG Xbox seemingly cant output 480/720p i also made the pricey decision of ordering the HD Component pack off EBay: but i'm really excited despite the import costs. My favorite console deserves the best it can get. Also holy crap. I've never played SSX 3 until now, and it's easily one of my favorite games of the generation already. I'm available on this handle all over social media and i stream from time to time on Twitch. I hope that's not too much shameless self-promotion. Can't wait to be part of this wonderful community, i love the fact that it's keeping itself together for a console that's 20 years old.
