* 5. Restore the backup of the old drive to the new one.
* 6. Lock the new drive, connect it to the Xbox, and hope for the best.
===Requirements===
====Hardware====
* '''IDE connection on motherboard'''
====Software====
* '''Windows XP (32-bit)''' - This must be a real installation of XP; a virtual machine will NOT work. The reason is that you must use software which directly accesses your motherboard's IDE controller, which is not possible with a virtual machine.
====Tools====
* '''T20 screwdriver''' - Used to open the Xbox's case
* '''T10? screwdriver''' - Used for the screws which hold the Xbox's HDD in place
====Future goals====
* '''Remove the need for Windows XP''' - Currently, XP is required to use the LiveInfo and HDD_Driver software. The only other Windows I've tried is Windows 7 Professional (64-bit), but no matter what I did, I could not get those programs to recognize any IDE drives. For now, XP is necessary to generate HDD keys and to backup the Xbox HDD.
* '''Allow the use of an external HDD enclosure''' - This, in my opinion, is the holy grail of simplifying this process.
