What do they mean when they say "The utility doesnt work under windows"

[guille0385]

I have that very same hard drive
WS1200BEVS - 00UST0

Did you managed to get it to work????

[ebbysg]

T_T i've honestly given up and am going to sell the damn drive...

[techredcat]

The -00UST0 at the end of your drive model is a concern. The drives I've done, or seen done were done with models that did not contain "-00UST0". I'm willing to bet that the -00UST0 is a revision change which "breaks" the hddhackr process.

Sorry to hear of your troubles.

ZOMG It worked!!!!!

I connected the Hard drive to the Xbox and it was recognised instantly


I am using a via P4M900M2-L Motherboard, I couldnt tell the SATA driver has the bookled is missing and windows 7 just died when i connected the xbox drive to the PC

does Zack Stern mean WD1200BEVS instead of WDGWD1200BEVS. And can I also use WDGWD1600BEVS/WDGWD2500BEVS.

I purchased a Refurbished Elite from Cunsumer depot for $200.00 with 120 hardrive.

It won't play old xbox games (Halo 2) but everything else seems to be fine.

I get this message

{font:Arial}{size:10pt}The game could not start. Please download the game again.{size}{font}

@tvgeek76

My testing (tech.redcat.us) was based on the WD1200BEVS drive. I have heard of people getting similar wd1200BEVS dirves and having problems. As for the 1600 or 2500, in theory you could get those to work, but they would still only be formatted at 120GB because of the firmware you reflash with. If/when MS releases a larger drive AND someone rips the firmware you'd be able to format larger. But that will also depend on the type of drive they use. If you search ebay or even froogle.google.com you can find a WD1200BEVS drive for around $50.

@heathbn

You won't be able to play old xbox games until you restore partition 2. (New 120GB Hard Drive) tells you how. Some of the other instruciton sets don't tell you this because prior to NXE the xbox would automatically format partition 2 for you.Now you have to format it using a PC and Xplorer.

what about using recover gamertag?

[techredcat]

@hassanm

You can recover your gamertag. if you do a full drive restore you won't have to recover your tag. If you're just putting in a new drive and not doing a data transfer then you might have to recover your gamertag, i can't remember but it seems to me that the 360 has enough internal flash memory to store some of your profile/theme.

Hi,
I have a question. My pc does not have sata controller but I ordered IDE to Sata converter, would I be able to use it or it has to be connected to a sata controller on motherboard?
Thanks.

Can this be done using a live cd like Ubunku has with the program added or does it need to be DOS?

I'm assuming that just about everyone out there already has an established Xbox Live account, saved games, etc. already stored on their current 360's hard drive.
So is there a way to transfer all of that data onto this snazzy new hard hard, or would you be just starting over from scratch?

There are ways to do this and it's not that easy, do some searching. There is also another problem of original xbox games not working and there is a way to fix that too.

so PCWORLD is giving a FREE TUTORIAL on how to BAN the xbox?
where is the picture of the hammer? thats what youll need when the drive gets you banned?!?
what crap. im so livid, think ill file a complaint with attorney general.
i know microsoft rips ppl off for the shitty ass 120 drive, but this is a lose-lose.

[Unitedmoviemaker]

How do you transfer your files on your other xbox 360 hard drive?
