Extend the harddrive to your original Xbox

[Th3-1nonly]

Hey, I didn't know where else to put this thread, and since i know TSF best, i though that it could be best crawling here for assisance. I you can help me out.

so you see, as i said, i don't know is TSF is the best place for asking, but i'm taking a chance.
1 : I want to mod my Xbox, not with chips, or soft mods. I simply want to put a bigger harddrive in my Xbox.
i have an 80 GB harddrive lying around and collecting dust, so i thought it woul be awesome to extend the capacity of my X-box, making it somewhat a Media center, for playback of standard bougth DVD movies, and as a storage for songs, ripped from burned CD's.
I do not want to either soft mod it, or hard mod it. I just want to extend the storage space on the xbox.

this is what i thought of(if it would work though) Clone the Stock X-box harddrive, and ut those files on the 80 GB harddrive instead. thereby, using the 80 GB drive instead of the 8 GB that originally came with the X-box.
Leaving the X-Box nearly untouched.
as i said, i do not want to soft mod it, either hard mod it, just extend the storage space, i also want to keep the savefiles from it. (from the Stock X-Box drive) I also know how to perform the hotswap method. connecting the X-box HDD to the pc.

but there is things that makes me wonder, and i don't acctually find an answer to this either.
1: How do you Lock the ''new'' X-box HDD, with the key from the EEPROM on the X-box' motherboard, making the new disk usable for the x-box. with all my savefiles intact.
2: How to Backup The Stock X-Box HDD !Completely! and transfer the files to the ''new HDD''
3: Is this even possibile ?
4: If you know how to just extend you storage space on the xbox, without! having to soft- hard mod it. explained in detail, but still in an understandable way. please tell me, as i want to use the xbox as a somekind of mediacenter. but in the manner it was before extending the Harddrives. in other words, just keeping the original X-Box dasboard, but in advance having a bigger HDD, and keeping everything originally stored on it intact.

thanks just in case.
