How to upgrade your XBOX 360 slim 4GB hard drive 

I like how agitated he sounds while making this video but the best thing is he still did it. Respect from 2021.

Thank you so much for the kind service of posting this "How To" video regarding the installation of the hard drive. My girlfriend has this console and despite buying her a PS4, she still wants to play with this console because of certain "XBOX-exclusive" games and now I can do what you did for your son with her console.

thank you my son was about to freak out. he thought he bought the wrong hard drive. but once again RU-vid saved the day with your help of course

Thanks man, my original 360 just went down and I bought a used 4gb slim figuring I would just use flash drives. But just like you said some games only let you install to a xbox hard drive. You literally saved me at least $80.00, you're awesome.

You're a great dad.

while watching your video for almost 17 mins I finally happen to see the little tab that lifts the grill to put my hard drive in my Xbox. then 3 mins later you finally do it. good God man. get to it. not helpful except gave me 20 minutes of looking at my Xbox so that I ended up finding it myself.

I honestly didn't want a life story, I just wanted a step by step guide.

this is a great video i had the exact same micro driver and bit set along with hard drive, couldnt have done it better myself. thank you for posting this now i can play a game my wife bought me that ive owned for years. great video, great instructions and great result not to mention great dad to go to all this work for his son. i give this five stars excellent job bloody brilliant! thank you to a gentleman and scholar

There's an option in your storage settings if you click the flash drive to set it as a internal drive. Would of saved ya alot of time lol

Thank you for poppin the camera in the port, been looking for a good picture of one cause I thought there was something wrong with mine

Finally someone who had solved my problem and knows what they are doing Thank you

you guys got to admit he is one of the smartest dad's on RU-vid for xbox

I'm here because I bought battlefield 4. Good vid, thanks!

Once again thank you, Just bought the original xbox hard drive 60GB for £10.00 and took it apart like in you video, and it has worked like a charm, Installing Battlefield 4 right now, I see your point for getting the caddy for it also, so i am going get one of those in the near future Can`t go wrong for £1.50.

I purchased the official xbox 360 elite 120GB hard drive and the caddy on ebay at a cheap price. It worked!!! Also it can save original xbox games!!! Im able to play original xbox games as well!!! Thank you so much for making this video!!! 👍👍

such a good video and thanks man.lucky I still have my 250 g hard drive from old xbox so that can just pop in my 4gb that I have on order thanks again.

This was very helpful thx dude

This helped me a lot

For anyone trying this in 2022 this works if you have a 360 e as well, just pluck the old hard drive from either the FAT model or the or arcade and your good to go!

thanks I'm not a console person or gamer but stayed to watch just to see how is done as I enjoy tech and work with tech and thanks to your video its something else I just gained knowledge of.

This video saved me R1000(100$)! THANK YOU.

"how to use a fat xbox 360 hard drive in a slim" should be the name

My man!!!!! It works perfectly i didnt used the little caddy just wrapted in paper lol but works thanks ALOT !! HUGS FROM ARGENTINA!!

Best video ever saved me a couple of hours and money to use this thanks sooo much keep making these awesome vids

I had to go through this when i bought Titanfall xD

Sweet video thanks brother. Instead of switching hard drives, Cant we just buy a used 250gb hard drive for like $30 ? Or just pikup a whole 360 250gb console bundle with controller and games for like $50 on ebay, fb or offerup etc. ? And just sell our old hard drive for like $10-$20 ?

This video helped out a lot I wasn't sure what hard drive to buy but after watching this I know which to buy and how to put it in.

This video answered all my questions. Thankyou.

@ jesse Green - I guess you failed to read the pop up box that says 'Shorter video with less talking click here!!!' If you want the shorter video simply click on that box and it will take you to one with less talking. I thought that is pretty self explanatory.

praise the almighty xbox god you shall be praised o great one

Hi from New Zealand. Just wanna say thanks for your vid. You saved me a lot of $$ today cheers

I just bought a 320gb slim hard drive for $15! Thanks for the video!

Xbox 360... Also known as the Dust Magnet

Been trying to play forza motorsport 1 on xbox 360 so i got an external hardrive 160gb instead of getting an xbox original cuz i cant afford one

I didn't even know about that thing on my Xbox thanks for the video now I can play advanced warfare without worrying about running out of storage

Thanks alot I bought destiny and didnt know I needed a hard drive and I had one of those old hard dives and now im playing

This is why I'd take Sony consoles over Microsoft consoles any day.

T T T T TODAY JUNIOR

Best one-handed work since Tony Kenning! Nice! Thanks for this vid. Nice and simple.

thank you very much, didnt realize the freakn port was behind a little pop away panel

I bought BF4 And I have enough storage space but It says I need to buy a hard drive.. Money, money, and more money.. Gosh.

ur son should be grounded for playing kinect adventure that games terrible...

thanks man....u helped out in a major way. much appreciated

Thanks for the video man, someone sold me an xbox slim without the hard drive.

too much talking

Now I can finally play Wolfenstein! Thanks!

I have a long and complex backstory in how I ended up here. Wanted to mention several years ago I bought a 2.5" hdd online (pretty sure WD) and found a utility to flash the drive and the 360 DID read it OK. Years later, , and here I am trying to get it going with my "new" 360 S. Thanks for the video - was helpful knowing I just need a drive caddy. Also, Go Blue! :)

Great one hand work guy! Your good

Very helpful, have the OG HDD but the replacement is a Slim model but this means i can use my old game saves with new one

I actually bought destiny and a 2TB external hard drive just so I could play it. when it turned on it said I needed a hard drive to play even though I had an external one. I ended up buying an internal hard drive to be able to play it. Thanks for the tutorial.

Omg thank you sooo much the destiny beta needs internal data you are a lifesaver

I am getting it tomorrow I am so excited 😀😀😀😀😀

YAY THANK YOU! I bought a 320 GB internal HardDrive, and I used this video to install it into the Xbox 360! OMG I can play GTA 5 and FarCry 4 now! Thx

From someone who has had a 300 gba hard drive on my slim, I literally ran out in less than a few years with all of the free games they give you every month

Thx :), i have recently got destiny and found it is unplayable on a flash drive so when i got a bigger hardrive this vid was helpful

Thank you so much, this helps a lot.

Thank you so much for getting straight to the issue. Every other video on anything technical with xbox ive watched the person has to sit around and basically fuckin mumble bullshit for 10 minutes, then, at last, in the final 3 minutes of the 13 minute video they actually start to talk about the actual topic at hand. Its so aggitating if youre as ocd and impatient as i am. Lol. Thanks bro

Thanks man, this was super useful!

This really helped, thanks!

Thanks man my Xbox 360 ran out so I could not play Minecraft anymore I got that and put it into my Xbox thank you!

Thanks so much. Very helpful

Thank you very much for posting this, got my son an xbox 360 here in the UK and need to upgrade it, I will be doing it myself now...great video...Ignore the haters, they have nothing better to do :-)

Wow, I didn't know the that's what it's inside the original Xbox 360 HDD. But I bought a third party 32O GB HDD for the Xbox 360 Slim on Amazon for $40. It's been two years and everything is going fine.

You're amazing!! Thank you sooo much!!

Good info, but you could probably just put a piece of cardboard under the drive, though it might come loose if you move the unit.

You could also just buy a portable hard drive that connects through sub I found it to be a lot easier but then again your method does end up being more convenient

This works thanks for the video.

Hi There this helped me recycle my Xbox 360 thank you very much

Thanks you so much!

Thanks, didn't know about the security partition/WD only thing to add your own drive. And wasn't sure if I could use my original xbox 360 (a?) in the s without issues.

I have a game that requires a hard drive , which I don't have , and it worked! All I did was use a 8 gb flash drive.
