I was just wondering if I took the hard drive of my old broken laptop ( it doesn't charge) and stick it in my Xbox slim , would it work ? I'm not really into computers or anything , but don't they fit into the Xbox slims?

Just wondering , since I just have the laptop laying around in my garage , I just have to find it , but I don't want to spend the time looking for it if its not going to work....

Xbox allows external storage, but I believe only in the form of the Cloud or a USB device. If you mean you want to use it as your primary 120gb harddrive, it will not work. The only harddrives that work with Xbox are the ones made for the Xbox manufactured by Microsoft. You can use a cable to hook it up via USB, but it will cap at 16GB of storage I believe.

Yes, it should fit into the memory unit space.

Umm, no.

Would it fit? Yes. It wouldn't be formatted though to work properly with the console and the console won't format it for you. (obviously so people don't buy store HDD's for cheap)

You would have to convert it to work using a PC: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
