xbox question (not really halo but...)

[DioxideC]

many peeps know that my box died, and sadly, i have not yet had it repaired. i did make a kick ass controller port on my PC with the old xbox controller ports and have been having a great time playing Quake 2 with my xbox contoller.

I am now switching to the good old linux from windows, and need the xbox HDD to store old files on and possibly use IT as a linux drive and leave my C drive alone, wich would be easyer than a total OS swap. I think i unlocked it one day in evox before my xbox's inevitable doom, so any help to format it would be greatly appreciated. or if i didnt, unlocking W/O evox help would be great also.

The main thing is that i dont know the drive letter of the xbox drive when i plug it in and dont want to format my REAL hard drive by accident. Would booting up with a MS-DOS boot floppy disk, removing my REAL HDD and switching it with my XBOX hdd, and then typing FORMAT C work? it would be like tricking the machine. any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for HELPING, (AND IF YOU DONT, SHAME ON YOU...)

yeh, that woukld word, if it does not, u need to set it up through BIOS...but it should work...but it is only 8 GB's...not that big...

i just need to fit my linux distro and some system files, so 8 gigs is plenty. i'll store the rest in a linux folder on my 140 G.
