[Question About the Dangers of Nulling the Hdd Key.]

yes! u can clone your current drive to a new hdd and lock the new one to your motherboard. use a program called chimp to clone and lock the new drive. i have done this several times and it works great! there are some risks involved if u don't know what you're doing though. it only requires a softmod and it sounds like u already have that. and not a dumb question. i'm not certain about madmatigna's method.

I've seen a few tutorial videos of chimp in action, where you connect both HDDs to the console while it's running.  Every video I've seen though has involved an already nulled original HDD, so I wasn't sure if following those steps would work the same with a non-nulled HDD, or if there was something extra I needed to do.

Possibly dumb question: is there any way to upgrade to a new, larger HDD for the Xbox WITHOUT nulling the key?  I would like to use my larger HDD to store more ripped games, but I also don't want to corrupt my DLCs and gamesaves on the current HDD.
