Xbox 360 160gb hard drive hack

Data on screen on boot is displayed and drive is found on 0XE as pri master. I have disconected all other drives for this operation. Joined: Dec 22, Messages: 1 Likes Received: 0. I just did this it worked out pretty well. Some notes from when i did it. I had an 8 gig thumb drive. I had to use fat32 to format and it wasn't an issue worked just fine. The xplorer app gave me alot of issues and didn't seem to work to well for me.

I assume this might be from me using it under windows 7 64 bit pro. Just in case, I had a buddy at work with a spare and transfer cable and was nice enough to lend it to me. So when i was done preping the gig drive.

I put the old 20 gig back and backed up on the spare drive my friend had. I poped the gig drive in. It showed half of the drive was used. I assumed this was from trying to restore partition 2 and my content from my 20 through xplorer I formatted the gig drive in the xbox utilities in the console.

It asked me for my serial number for my xbox. I inputted the serial number in and bing all my space back. Tried an old xbox 1st gen game and it didn't work. I then swaped the drives to the spare 20 gig which had my data backed up on it and used the transfer cable. When it was done. The transfer cables are free if you order them from microsoft and a spare 20 gig drive in a case is american on ebay usually. If the second half of the tutorial gives you crap this may be another option to try.

This is the biggest capacity hard drive for the Xbox you can get. This hard drive is fully compatible with the Xbox E and Xbox S consoles. Just plug it in and you're ready to go, with GB of memory average user will be just fine. It's also original product of Microsoft so you shouldn't have any problems.

Another excellent choice for Xbox hard drive upgrade. This drive has GB storage capacity, and it's made by Dragonpad — a 3rd-party manufacturer. It's still fully compatible and will work just fine with Xbox Slim. And it has a great price! This external drive is designed especially for the original Xbox fat consoles.

The total capacity here is GB, which should be enough for any Xbox user. The 1-year replacement warranty guarantees us satisfaction with transferring the game profiles. Your Xbox original should recognize it without much hassle. First thing you have to do is to turn off the console and locate hard drive 1. Then press the release button on the hard drive and lift the hard drive away from the console.

You can also go other way and choose to upgrade you Xbox or Xbox slim hard drive with laptop 2. Now you can choose your HDD manufacturer and specs you want. However this isn't so easy as it requires special formatting and it may not be so easy to find a compatible hard drive. This is the hardest way to upgrade your Xbox hard drive , but if you really need that extra performance and options, you should consider this.

This hard drive is new-generation, and therefore you will be able to use it for different purpose even if your Xbox breaks down. Even though it is proprietary, some clever hackers have found a really easy way to interface with it. Since it is slot based you can just etch contact pads onto a circuit board and plug it in.

Can this also make your own hard drive function the same as the Xbox hard drive, allowing for gamesaves and all the features that the 20GB XB drive had, and that was left out of the connecting your own USB drives? I like how microsoft takes normal interfaces and makes them into proprietary shapes.

Are they scared that someone might realize the xbox is a computer? This is for reading the official hard drive using a computer. It will not let you use any hard drive you want with the
