You'd need Windows XP source code to port it to Xbox. Windows CE was made semi-free... and that's how WinCE on Xbox became possible.

Other operating system choices for Xbox:
GNU/Linux
ReactOS [2 - BSODs on your TV too]
Windows NT 4.0 Workstation Service Pack 5 (the normal one)

Well I heard something about removing the hard drive and putting a new one and just putting Windows XP in it and installing it like a normal computer. A friend of mine says that's what he did.

EDIT: Ok ignore that. He says he forgot to tell me that he put a new motherboard in it.

EDIT: Just saw in your post: You can get NT to work on an xbox? How would I go about doing that?

You can't get the actual Windows NT that you're used to working on an Xbox. I just mentioned the fact that the core operating system files that ships with the Xbox are basically NT4 SP5. It's specialised for the Xbox, and that's what your games use.

Oh.... ok. I guess I'll just install Xebian on it. How do I fix the clock loop problem dealy without using a mod chip? I want to be able to unplug it.

Um, you might have a bit of a problem there. The X-Box is tempermental. I've heard from modders that you have to know which generation/model your x-box is in order to get the bitch to accept certain things. I wouldn't suggest that YOU of all people do this. If you feel like doing it, throw down the 200 bucks and get it done by professionals.

I would be fine. I am very knowledgable when it comes to computers. I just dont have a steady hand for soldering.

Yeah. More reasons to not screw around with it. You'd be surprised how complex and varied the X-Box generations/models are. MS took no easy way out in screwing people over.
