That is pretty much my current dilema. I'd love to try it to get it to work, but, my current board limits my capabilites.

As far as i remember some member on here did it successfully. i'm in work right now and don't have the time to search for the post but he posted in here somewhere. If you search the forums you should find it in there somewhere.

I don't think this was ever verified, he said he was going to post back, but he never did, also the model number he gave led me to an IDE laptop hard drive, not a serial ata one. I'm going to say this was a fake.

Well I'm definitely going to try to do this, may have to wait for my new board to come in though. What else I might try to do this is to use one of the SATA/EIDE adapter plugs, if they go in the manner I'm hoping. Not sure if they are effective or not, but I guess it is worth a shot.

Found a list of SATA 2.5" drives here:

Link

I'm sure there are more out there and more to be released, but this gives us some models to search for in the meantime. I'll post some links as soon as I find places to buy them.

Edit: First drive I found on NewEgg

I'm going to go ahead and order the drive to try this out. We still don't have any confirmation of this ever working yet? Any ideas on what the consequences of doing this (successfully) will be as far as Xbox live goes?

If you're planning on using the ghosting, I would suggest not to do it as it definitely doesn't work. Also if you are planning on the other method of cloning, it's really not worth it at this point as you can only use 20gb of the drive. The second method is using a few sectors from the original drive and putting it onto the BEV models of WD drives. So this drive wouldn't work with it, I wouldn't buy this one unless you just need that type of drive for another purpose and would like to try this method first just for verification.

So the tutorial on this site for getting a SATA and ghosting yourself into a larger hard drive is not accurate? I'm confused now. If that is the case the tutorial should be removed. I had planned on ghosting to the new drive and expanding the partition into the free space in order to go from 20gb to 100gb.
