So dumb question. But I recently came across an original xbox for practically nothing, and thought I would give modding it into an emulator box a try. I have a spare 200GB IDE hard drive I'd like to use for it. And while I get the whole softmod thing through save expliots, the thing I am still not clear on, is if I want to do a harddrive upgrade, is it easier to softmod the stock 8GB HD and then upgrade the disk, or since I am upgrading the disk anyway, do I just use some tool to unlock and write the custom dashboard, and then replace the HD?
I don't need super specific directions, but what is the high level step by step for softmodding AND HD upgrade?

Well, did some more digging, and I think I got it. I think the path of least resistance is save exploit softmod with the original hard drive in place, and then use chimp to clone disk. No computer necessary. Thanks!

I'm a fan of hot swap...if only because that's what I had when I did it.
