Xbox 360 Hard drive mod

Hello, i have been trying to mod my old Xbox 360 hard drive so it can be used in my new Xbox 360 slim. i am having trouble because some of the torx screws are stripped.
how can i get the screws out?
do i have to cut the plastic surrounding the drive?
Any suggestions are welcome!!
thanks!

You can use a cheap hand grinder with a flat disc on it and just carefully cut a straight line it the stripped screw. Then use a flat head to remove it. If you don't have a hand grinder you can buy them pretty cheap or ask a friend. Hope that helps.

Great! Glad to help. Stripped screws can cause unwanted headaches, time lost and lots of frustration.

ya, unfortunately it only has 13 GB free out of 250, i may have to reformat the drive.
