Fixit-13

I downloaded the free HDDGURU Raw Copy Tool, hooked the new drive in where my cdrom was (yeah older pc) then took my master and plugged it into usb port using a usb adapter. Started the copy and went to bed. Installed it in the morning and it worked perfectly. Unfortunately my newly found and modded xbox worked for about 6-7 minutes and then went dead. Now all I get is the dreaded frag. Oh well, I tried, but at least I have a drive, a chip and some spare parts ready to go for the next one I find.

So as long as I do a RAW copy I should be good. Awesome - Thanks SS Dave

Chimp or FTP is the question I have about 1TB of games on a 2TB drive in a modded box with an xecuter 2.6 chip. I recently picked up another xbox and actually found that I had an extra xecuter 2.6 chip on hand. I recently installed it, and it works just fine, so I have purchased another 2TB drive to put in it. Would it be best to use Chimp to clone it, or should I just throw Hexen on it and FTP over the files. My mind is saying to use Hexen and go the FTP route so I don't have to swap a live drive or touch the other box but maybe I am just over thinking it. What would you do?

It's been a while since I worked on one of these. I did a executer mod years ago, the kids loved it. I later did a soft mod, I really got into it and we accumulated a lot of games. I have been a computer tech for over 30 years so it was a natural fit. I just recently went to throw out the old stuff but just had to plug them in. One came right up, the second one needed a little help but they both work. So now I'm hooked again, with the intent to upgrade the drives and move the DVD's I have onto them. Then who knows maybe I will look at some other emulators. I played with Mame years ago as well as the Wii and the Gameboy. I do wish I had kept some notes though, but I am sure with some of the info here, I will figure it out.
