You guys think I'd be able to pull this off? PC-Xbox360
« on: November 11, 2009, 08:40:05 PM »
Well,I was up in the library reading about Xbox 360s the other day, and I got the specs for em, my CPU is faster, my mobo better, my GPU better, HDD bigger,etc... So I was wondering, would it be possible for me to boot the Xbox 360 OS and drivers from a seperate HDD and boot windows on the other? Would I even NEED to boot windows at all?  I've never had an Xbox before and have been told that their warranty/repair terms aren't the greatest, and I really don't have any money to go and GET one just to play a few certain games.  Do you guys think I could do this without much hemmin and hawin? Is there a possibility I could screw somethin up even if I boot the OSes off of seperate HDDs?

You are looking at some pretty big and fun hardware modifications.  You are better off just buying one.

Wouldn't that be a bit like running Mac on a Windows based computer?

Completely different architecture etc....

You generally need a mod chip to replace the boot loader with a new version.

That leads to instant banning from XBox Live by Microsoft. No Live, no reason to have a 360... and they just banned a million accounts for mod chips.
