    you just remove the HDD from the grey case and insert it into the slim. The slim does not require additional attachments it just slides in. As long as you dont move your 360 around it wont need any support you can cut some cardboard if you want. Mines is fine dangling in there. Theres a specific WD drive you have to buy but there are guides online.

    Why cant they just make things simple lol , i was 90% certain i would need a WD drive , so if you have a jtag or rgh u can use any size and it will act like a standard xbox drive , i just thought the fact that they made it easy to acees etc they may of layed off the need for certain drives etc .

    cheers

    It still need to be an xbox formatted drive. My slim has a fat hdd just pushed onto the connector and it's been fine for months.

    I figured you meant on a standard non hacked xbox. Mine isn't modified at all.

    Make sure you run HDDHackR on your drive before putting it in or it wont recognise it.
    I only done this the other day, real easy to do.

    Made a 4Gb Slim into a 250Gb.
