I have an old Xbox that I got working; however, the disc drive won't read any discs. In my research, it seems like the standard hard modding route involves using a burned disc to format the new HDD after it's installed in the console. My question is, what is the easiest route to go about hard modding/installing a new HDD without being able to read discs?

This will be my first time modding. Thanks.
