+
+### Instructions
+
+1. Turn off your Xbox 360 and remove the hard drive from your console.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> You may consult the following guides if you're unsure on how to do this:
+> - [Xbox 360](https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Xbox+360+Hard+Drive+Replacement/3326)
+> - [Xbox 360 S](https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Xbox+360+S+Hard+Drive+Replacement/3184)
+> - [Xbox 360 E](https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Xbox+360+E+Hard+Drive+Replacement/22179)
+
+2. Plug in a USB storage device and turn on the console.
+3. At the Xbox Dashboard, navigate to the **settings** tab, select **System**, then **Storage**.
+4. On the **Storage Devices** screen, select your USB storage device and press Y to open **Device Options**.
+5. Select **Make System Drive**, then **Configure Now** and confirm by selecting **Yes**.
+
+> [!CAUTION]
+> This operation will remove all content on the USB storage device. Before continuing, make sure that you have backed its content. This action is irreversible.
+
+6. After successfully configuring the USB storage device as a system drive, turn off your Xbox 360 and **reconnect** the hard drive.
+7. Turn on your console, then navigate to the **settings** tab, select **System**, then **Storage**.
+8. Select the original hard drive, navigate to the Profiles directory, and move an Xbox Live profile that owns the DLCs/game to the USB storage device.
+9. Turn off the console and remove the hard drive.
+10. Turn on the console, **install a console update if prompted**, and log in to your Xbox Live profile.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> If you have a digital copy of Sonic Unleashed, skip to step 14.
+
+11. Insert your retail disc copy of Sonic Unleashed into the Xbox 360 disc tray.
+12. At the Xbox Dashboard, go over to the disc tile under the **home** tab and press X to view **Game Details**.
+13. Under the **overview** tab, select the **Install** tile and choose to install to the USB drive.
+14. Install DLCs and the digital copy of the game (if you own it). Navigate to the **settings** tab, select **Account**, then **Download History**. Find the DLC/game, select it, and choose **Download Again**. Repeat this step for all the DLCs you own.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> If the DLCs or game do not appear in **Download History**, ensure that you have moved the account that owns them.
+
+15. Once installed, launch the game to ensure that the Title Update is installed. If it isn't, it should install automatically.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> The Title Update is installed if the DLCs function correctly (when selecting a new game, you will see a prompt stating: "You can play downloaded action stages...").
+>
+> If you are unsure, you can force the Title Update to re-download by clearing the system cache (available in **Storage** > **Device Options**) and relaunching the game while connected to Xbox Live.
+
+16. Turn off the console and plug the USB storage device into your PC.
+17. Download [the latest release of Velocity](https://github.com/Gualdimar/Velocity/releases/download/xex%2Biso-branch/Velocity-XEXISO.rar) and open the `*.rar` file using [7-Zip](https://7-zip.org/download.html), then extract its contents anywhere that's convenient to you.
+18. Create a new folder anywhere that's convenient to you for storing the game files.
+19. Launch `Velocity.exe`. You should see a **Device Detected** message appear on launch asking if you would like to open the **Device Content Viewer**. Click **Yes**.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> If Velocity does not detect your USB storage device, try running it as an Administrator.
+
+20. You should now see a tree view of your USB drive's contents. Expand the tree nodes for `/Shared Items/Games/` (and optionally `/Shared Items/DLC/`, if you have the DLC installed).
+21. Hold the CTRL key and click on **SONIC UNLEASHED** under the `Games` node, as well as the **Adventure Pack(s)** under the `DLC` node, if you have the DLC installed. Ensure all are selected before the next step.
+22. Right-click any of the selected items and click **Copy Selected to Local Disk**, then navigate to the folder you created in step 18 and select it. Velocity will now begin copying the game files to your PC.
+23. Once the transfer is complete, close the **Device Content Viewer** window and navigate to **Tools > Device Tools > Raw Device Viewer**.
+24. Navigate to `/System Cache/Cache` and click the **Name** column to sort by name. Look for a file that begins with `TU_19KA20I`, this is the title update which is required for installation.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> If you wish to verify that the contents of this file are correct, you may double-click on it to open it in **Package Viewer** and confirm that `default.xexp` exists inside, along with a folder called `work`.
+>
+> Once you've verified it, close the **Package Viewer** window and proceed to the next step.
+
+25. Right-click on the file that begins with `TU_19KA20I` and click **Copy Selected to Local Disk**, then navigate to the folder you created in step 18 and select it. Velocity will now begin copying the title update to your PC.
+26. Once the transfer is complete, you should have all the necessary files for installation. You can now reconnect the Xbox 360 hard drive and move the Xbox Live profile back. After that, [return to the readme and proceed to the next step](/README.md#how-to-install).
+
+### Xbox 360 S consoles
+> [!NOTE]
+> Some Xbox 360 S consoles come with 4 GB of internal flash storage. These are **not compatible** with this method since you cannot set a USB storage device as a system drive on them.
+>
+> An exception is for versions with the Trinity motherboard, where the storage module is located on a separate daughterboard and can be disconnected (not recommended for inexperienced users). On other models, this module is soldered directly onto the motherboard and cannot be disconnected.
