I'd say yeah, if you can connect it i don't see why you wouldn't be able to use it (altough you might have to format it).

Oh god! Why comic sans?! (lol ) No, it's not possible to boot the drive on a PC since the software on the disk is designed to work with the console ONLY. You would have toformat the whole thing and install some kind of PC OS on it.

what about if transfering to larger drive

i don't know exactly what you want to do with it, but yes it is possible to do it and even to see/copy the files, you will need software for that. Search the web.

boot from it as a normal drive, sure, format it first. boot it like an xbox? no.

The original xboxs hard drive system is well documented online and you'll need to read a guide if you want to mod the xbox.

The most important thing you should know: If you attempt to change the files on the drive with an unmodded original xbox , or reformat the xboxs drive , you will have bricked the xbox. The drive and motherboard are tied together and no other hard drive will work in your xbox.

you should read up on softmodding the console first before you ruin it.

What is it you're trying to do? I don't quite get it.

 

• Trying to view the files on the drive
• Want an extra HDD
• Think booting it with better hardware will make your PC into a better xbox
• Other, explain
