wtf? none of this is new the post linked to is a year old. Who still has a 9199 dash???
I am sure the hdd hack is posted here somewhere, and the avatar info is not completely correct. If you are going to run the 9199 dash ok, this will work. If you are running a new dash (like the new kinect interface) you must remove the resistor or bridge the Efuse points. at which point you must install the official security update, which can be found on microsoft's website. Without this, the kinect wont work.
