Replace dead 20gb hard drive

Post by spartacus99 »

Hi all,i have a dead 20gb hdd for 360,what i need to know is if i can just buy any 20gb hdd and do a swap then format and input the console serial into the new drive or is there anything else to be done.
The drive i have is totally shot clicking like good un even when connected to pc so there is no way i could even get any info from it even if i wanted to.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Basically yes, read this:
viewtopic.php?f=198&t=4802" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Its the same for a 20gb HDD, you just need the 20gb HDDS.bin
