Default Upgrade your Xbox360 HDD to 120gb?

I was just reading somewhere that you can change your 20gb to 120gb to use for game saves and XBL content with some flashing and such, but couldn't find anywhere online that talks about so could someone PM me a link or something?

Thanks.

It's pretty expensive, doesn't seem worth it to me unless you plan to have a huge collection of movies and downloaded content on your Xbox.

That's what I was trying to prevent was buying one of those.

Supposedly if you get a matching HDD to the one used in there and do some flashing of the HDD and structuring to mimic the 120gb version, it'll work and be a lot cheaper since all you have to buy is a 2.5" 120gb HDD which is what I am trying to find information on.

Also, in the next update for Xbox360 they'll be allowing you to install games onto the HDD for faster loading which is why I am looking into a bigger HDD now.

EDIT: Found what i was looking for, you need to have a 120gb already and it simply clones it into a second 120gb using the same security sectors from the first one so that leads to the chance of MS doing a check on XBL for making security sectors and banning those with cloned dirve which I don't feel like doing.

From what I was reading, no one has been banned for it, but if MS wanted to, there definitely are ways they could find out who has done this and ban them.
