Hard to explain in title, sorry.
Here's the problem: I had an Xbox. I had a computer. I took the Xbox's hard drive out and put it in the computer. I formatted it "a la FAT32". Now I want this drive back in my Xbox, but with Linux on it. Is there any way I can put linux on the drive as it is hooked up to my computer, then transfer it back to the Xbox? The drive it's self is still the original Xbox drive, just wiped. I hope I haven't confused anyone.
Thanks!
direct hard drive install?

F drive? Is that the hard disk? Sorry for being such a newbie!
so by distro.rar you mean like:
Gentoox.Shallax.pro-edition-v1.1b.rar
or something? I got it and decompressed it, but I don't see anything that I could "run". Do you mean the .xbe files? How would I run those on a Windows or Linux computer?
Once again, sorry!

re: direct hard drive install?
I think that if you have deleted the original partitions, then you need to repartition the drive so you have the C:, E:, and F:? partitions. There are utilities out there that will do this very nicely. The one I use apparently is not forum friendly.

Direct hard drive install question
I recently put gentoox home on my hard drive using flashfxp and i have to have it on a drive with nothing else and it can't be in a folder (I have it in the E drive) so i don't have my saves(ofcorse i backed them up). i was wandering if their was any way to put it somewhere where i still have my saves.
