    Blocking Xbox360 HDD swap


    Hi, Is there any way to lock down an XBOX 360, so that it will only accept a specific HDD, or for a PIN to be required if someone does try to swap the HDD?

    Thanks

    :)

    It's your choice Mikee, if you're not that bothered about your game progress just start over. Don't forget to remove your accounts etc from the old hard drive though if you have to return it or decide to sell it.

    Blocking Xbox360 HDD swap

    Hi there,

    as far as I know that isn't possible to lock a HDD

    You can try to set up a family pass code that will allow you to restrict certain things like games and apps etc.

    See this link for the information:
    support.xbox.com/.../xbox-live-parental-control
     
  5. You can't lock the HDD, but if you're worried about misuse of your account, you can enable proofs, which you can require that if your account is ever on another console, info must be provided. You can also create numerous accounts, all requiring proofs,
    so no one will be able to do anything with your HDD as all the account spots will be filled.

    they got it pretty much covered dude I mean the only was is the proofs and the parental controls because that stays on the actual memory not the HDD but then you would mess up some games like halo and other stuff

    swap HDDs

    Ahh. There's just a button to remove it from the top and put the higher capacity drive on. We can only advise replacing the hard drive with an official Xbox 360 hard drive or use external storage. Discussion of opening the console or the drive itself is
    not allowed on the forums.

    HDD swap

    As long as it's the same type of Xbox (ie. fat to fat, Slim to Slim), it will work. A "fat" hard drive would not fit a Slim and would be a terms of use violation if you use it.
