(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); If you have been following all of the recent tutorials on how to modify the MW2 patch, you've seen that most require taking out your hard drive and connecting it to your computer.

It seems that on every thread, multiple people are asking how to do this. So I figured a tutorial thread was in order

[Keep in mind that if you remove your Hard Drive Sony won't replace it if it doesn't work afterwards. Don't worry; that's not as big of a deal as it sounds.]

First off, you're going to need a cable, generally priced around $20 (I believe that's a little over 13 pounds).

This cable is a Serial ATA to USB 2.0 Adapter. Basically one end is a USB that plugs into your computer, and the other end plugs into the PS3 Hard Drive. Now, the "Serial ATA" end needs to be 2.5", which is the size needed for the PS3 Hard Drive.

Where to get the cable?

Some searches on eBay would work, but here are some more links:

All of those would do nicely. I'd defiantly recommend Fry's if you want to buy it in person, and Amazon if you want to order it online.

Now that you've got the cable, all you need to do is take out your PS3's hard drive (Ohhhhh Nooooo!)

Don't worry, it's not that hard. The drive is located at the bottom of the PS3. If you can't figure out how to remove it on your own, just find a good video on youtube that shows you how. I'd recommend this one:

Once your hard drive's out, simply connect it to your computer using your newly-bought cable and you're good to go!

From there, just follow one of the tutorials in the hacking section on how to make your own mods. Have fun, and good luck.

Well considering how this post is directed at everybody who is trying to hack MW2, I'd say the MW2 hacking section is a fine place for it.



Yes, assuming you have the right size SATA input (2.5" again)
