Due to the DRM, you'd have to be signed in to LIVE in order to access purchased downloads.

Example:
I purchased some arcade games and some game add-ons on my 1st console. Console 3ROD, got a replacement. On the new console, I could not access those purchased downloads unless I'm signed in to xbox live. Now I'm on my 3rd console, and everything that I've purchased before is accessible even when I'm offline thanks to Microsoft's DRM Migration tool. The only drawback is you can only use it once in 12 months.

Beside games u've purchased on Live, does tat mean other download contents like theme, trailers, demo, music also cannot b accessed? And wat about the latest dashboard updates? Are they auto update for u once u turn on xbox wif the hdd coming from a modded machine?

Its only purchased items.
whatever is bought is attached to the account that bought it and the machine it was bought with.
So if i go my friends house with my hdd, i can play my live games if we have live.
But if theres no live then cant.
But if i play on my 360 without live its fine.

is there any bigger HDD than 160GB that we can use?

500GB perhaps?

so far as i read..there is no way yet to use bigger hdd..because it will still be the 120gb hdd max..depend on 'key' file u take..if 120gb from elite hdd..

then it will be then..

*sigh..

come one MS.. release bigger HDD so that we can take the key

if xbox limit hard drive capacity to 120gb drive so no point i upgrade to bigger size better just find an elite hard drive.

But original Xbox 120 GB HDD is selling at this price http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-eo-49-en-70-1xxq.html
You can save a lot of money if you buy WD to mod, but if you are very rich then other story lah

omg so mahal la is there any way to really utilise more that 120gb maybe some firmware mod or something.

No, coz until this day MS only got maximum 120GB HDD, so we only can use this 120GB HDD Key to flash the drive

hahaha... sebab tu lah org hack benda ni.. sbb waaayyyy tooooo expensive for a veeeryyyy liiiittleeee spaaacee...

still can't pass thru with flashing stuff

^ did u manage to backup the "key" from your original 20HDD yet?

just need a correct model of WD HDD and a mobo with SATA support.

no u do not need to backup ur hdd firmware "key".. u need to dl 120GB firmware... to flash inside the 160GB WD

I've tried several boards.. intel chipset... but fail with it...
wait till I get home I will to flash it using my nvidia chipset...

I will compile everything up once I able to run it up...

i think it works both ways.

if using ur current mobo, u can backup the "key" from your original 20HDD, then flashing in a another "key" into a WD is not a problem.

at the moment, i still have the 20HDD (it is a samsung IINM) with no casing, not sure what to do with it yet

hmm I think I missinterpret it...

if u got 20HDD key max are 20GB even u got 160GB Hdd
the best one u need to get 120HDD key and flash to 160GB... but u only get 120GB..

from what i read...if u use key from 20gb, u will have 20gb....to solve it just simply formatted in xbox and you'll get the 120gb.

- my mistake....u have to get the 120gb hddss.bin from the usual place.

the 20HDD "key" is actually useless. i just keep it as backup somewhere.

Guess I'm out of luck.... need to get Via Sata card but kinda waste if only use once...

when ms gona start installing games to the harddrive?
