    Hi,

    i have an Xbox 360 original white with a 60gb harddrive.
    Now i want to replace the 60gb to a 500gb harddrive (Western Digital WD5000BEVT - 22A0RT0)

    I did all the steps from here but when i want to flash the 500gb drive, i get an error "Reading HDD sector 16 failed! DRQ Error: 0x0802"

    This is what i did:
    Step 1:
    The 500gb drive is clean and it has no partition on it.
    Step 2:
    I downloaded the Bootable USB Drive Creator Tool, HDDHackr 1.40 and the HDDSS500.BIN.
    I've made a usb flashdrive bootable and put the HDDHackr and the HDDSS500.bin on it.
    Step 3:
    The computer booted from the flashdrive and i entered the following commands:
    C:\hddhackr and pressed 'enter'
    The tool is searching for the 500gb drive and found it.
    Step 4:
    I selected the harddrive (in my case it was number 7)
    Then i get a menu:
    What do you want to do?
    [D] to dump Sectors 16-22
    [C] to create Partition 0/2/3
    [F] to flash Firmware
    [R] to restore Firmware

    i press F to flash the drive

    It asks for the HDDSS file so i entered HDDSS500.BIN
    then it asks for the UNDO, so i entered UNDO.BIN

    Then a get a new screen with the 'Data from selected Hard Drive'

    and then, i get the error...

    Then i started all over again.

    First i created a partition and then i want to flash the drive but im getting the same error.

    I tried on different computers, but it wont work.

    Who has the solution?

    Thanks!

    99% of problems are caused by the SATA chipset on your motherboard or BIOS configurations such as Legacy IDE not been enabled, AHCI been enabled or Raid been active. Thats where i would start and see what options you have.

    I've tried on different computers but nothing works.. I have computers with AMD, NVIDIA, VIA and Intel chipsets..

    Raid is disabled

    Mainboards i've used:
    ECS H67H2-M4 -> Intel chipset
    ASRock AliveNF6G-GLAN -> NVIDIA chipset
    MSI K8M Neo-V MS-7032 -> VIA chipset
    Intel D915GAV -> Intel chipset
    Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 -> AMD chipset

    Oke, i found the solution. On my ASRock computer, in the BIOS at the hard drive section i had to disable this:
    LBA/Large Moge -> Disabled
    Block (Multi-Sector Transfer) -> Disabled
    S.M.A.R.T -> Disabled
    32Bit Data Transfer -> Disabled

    i tried again with HDDHackr -> Selected my drive -> Flashed with HDDSS500.BIN -> put the drive in my Xbox, at the first time i only got 4gb hard disk, then i formatted the disk in the xbox and tadaaa :) It works!

    Excellent glad you managed to hack your drive! Sadly it really is down to the individual motherboard / bios in regards to what options you need to change.

    Enjoy your new 500gb drive! :)
