    First off you need to have a modded or chipped Xbox. Assuming you do have this then you can boot your Xbox using a EvoX Boot disk or the slayers installer disk. This boot disk allows you Xbox to get an IP address set to it and this will allow you to connect you PC to your Xbox via a network cable and then FTP to the harddrive and upload or download software to the Xbox.

    see the sticky threads in the Xbox forum for more info on the FTP'ing elements of this.

    You wont need to remove the Harddrive and stick it in a PC for this proceedure or in fact most things Xbox.

    but how would i put such appz as hdloader and stuff like that on?any help would be appreiciated.

    if you get slayers installer disc m8 like fe man says, then this will install hddloader for you plus lots of other apps to use on your xbox,like the media player and stuff like that (so im told, ive not done it) burn the iso to a CD-RW , it will also install evolution-x for you, there will be no need to remove your hard drive to put it in your pc.

    i think the easiest way to start off would be get a network card in your pc, if you already have one for broadband then fit another, then connect the xbox to this with a crossover cable.

    best prog for ftp is flashfxp (well its the most popular), once you get that far you can send files to and from your xbox and pc whenever you like, backup an original game to your pc, or extract the files of the game to the xbox hard drive and play it from there.

    so to start off with m8, do what fe man said and get slayers installer disc, its a very good start and is one awesome tool to have.

    it would if there was a chip in it.

    but if you do this you cannot play originals any longer.

    You're not getting started on the right foot bro. These guys in here know their stuff, I think I would rate them close to experts on the matter of programs and interaction with the box dude. First thing you need to concentrate on is the chip. If you dont have one better get one or forget it. Better do reasearch on chips before continuing. You WILL get lost very easily in here. Also must have good understanding about zip and rar files, or you will be completely lost. Good luck dude. Meats.
