Original Xbox HDD Upgrade : Hardmod Only

This Guide is to setup a HDD for use in the original Xbox on PC, without the need for an AIO disc on the Xbox like Hexen or OGX Installer or Slayers. This will install a Fresh modded C, and E drive with 'recommended' applications and dashboards like Xbmc4Gamers / Xbmc-Emustation. This does NOT install ANY Games.

There's a CLEAN E - With no preinstalled extra Applications, Bar Dashboards
