Things You Can Do in the Eventuality of an Xbox Hard Drive Crash
An Xbox 360 hard drive crash can happen. Usually, it isn’t very bad and the hard drive can be restored very easily. The only problem is that you will lose all your data stored on it. You will also want to know if the games downloaded will be lost forever. Don’t worry about that, they are linked to gamertag and you will be able to download the games again without any problems. To copy your saved games, you will need to get a memory card. You could also use Xsata to do this job.
If the crash is more serious, you will probably need to replace the hard drive, which can be pretty complicated. Firstly, you will need to order a modchip. When it arrives, you need to open the Xbox, then get the instructions needed to install the modchip. You should then put it in flash BIOS. You can now put the new hard drive inside the Xbox. After that, get the slayers from the xbins and burn to disk, then you can cold boot your Xbox with it. The Xbox should now work.
If you don’t know how to do this it is best that you don’t experiment on your Xbox. You should find someone who knows what needs to be done. The Xbox should be done in no time after the modchip is delivered and you get a new hard drive.
