The Most common errors are dashboard related ones and simply reinstalling the MS dashboard will fix these. Use Slayer's Evox Auto Installer to repair your dashboard. After installing a new large hard drive if you get an error just ftp the original C: and E: folders from your computer's hard drive over to the xbox. Allways install hard drives as cable select for use in xbox's.
