XBox owners/modders, I need help - GoFuckYourself.com

I need an extra harddrive for a second computer of mine.

a. What size harddrive does the xbox have?
b. Is is safe to remove the harddrive, partition it and use it temporarily in my PC, will I be able to swap it back in after a while, without breaking the xBox?

I know, I know, I could just fucking order a $40 drive online, but this one is right here and barely in use.

technically, you can pull this off... but i don't think you'll want to spend all of the time it will take to restore the xBox config... the partitioning system on the xBox disk is proprietary, so this wouldn't be a simple back-and-forth job... you would need to get a bunch of software to set up the disk when it was time to go back into the xBox. it wouldn't be worth doing to save $40 unless you were going to put a larger drive into the xBox (and a mod-chip while your at it)..

you can do it. you have to unlock the drive first with one of the xbox(mod) programs then format it.
