Upgrade Xbox360 Hard Drive

Hi all,
My friend wants to replace her 20gb hdd with another one.

Is the WD only drive that works with this?

I take it it's not enough to make a copy of the original hdd with dd and restore it to another non-WD hdd

I have two Toshiba drives lying around - 120gb and 160gb

Thanks in advance :)

only WD are working. Because only there you can flash the firmware of an original one on.

Where can I get hddss.bin for 160gb drive? I acquired a WD Blue 160gb

All I could find is 120 and 250 bin

You can't, you'll have to lose 40GB as far as I know cause MS never released a 160GB Drive in their consoles.

Thanks emu_kidid. 120 is still better than 20 :D
