    Ive modded my xbox but wanna replace the current x-box hard-drive with a 200GB internal hard-drive.

    But the x-box won't recognise itself anymore?
    What do I have to do to the HD for the x-box to recognise itself as an x-box?

    I don't know what you mean by "recognise itself"

    To install a new HDD, just open the xbox up, take out the old HDD, and slot the new one in it's place. You need a boot disk to format the drive and maybe install some stuff for you.

    Need to lock (password protect) the hardisk to boot into normal ms dash if thats what you mean.
