How do I upgrade my xbox hard drive?

To upgrade your hard drive you will need a xbox mod chip installed and a copy of the EvoX cd or dvd. It has an hard drive rebuild option for upgraded large hard drives. When its has finished installing reboot and that all you need to do.

No but an original Xbox hard drive will only have about 4-6 gigs of useable space for your backups, movies or music.

Can I use Xbox Live with a mod chip?

No you can’t use a mod chip with XBOX live. Microsoft scans your console for changes to the BIOS (that’s what a mod chip does) then bans your machine if it finds one. You can turn off all our mod chips and play online, but you have to have the original discs for that and not backups.

Do you still sell Playstation Mod Chips?
Unfortunately not at the moment but will do very soon.

I have tried starting up around 8 games on my PAL PS2 and only 1 of them is in colour. The rest are in black and white. Do you know the reason for this?

The problem you are having is because your discs are in NTSC format. To make them work in colour you would need an RGB Scart lead. The original one is not an RGB Scart lead.
