    Purchased this slim one a while back and of course now they are coming out with new games that cannot be played without buying a hard drive, she should have kept the regular one.

    Anyway, I am trying to install my daughters old laptop hard drive into her XBOX360 and need help. I need to know how to get the XBOX to recognize the hard drive, I am in no means a computer expert, but not computer illiterate either. Just want to know how do I go about making it work? I have removed the hard drive and inserted it, but the XBOX doesn't know what to do with it.

    Thanks in advance, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately you can't use a Hitachi hard drive in the Xbox 360, if you can get a 500gb Western Digital hard drive you can follow my tutorial on how to hack a 500gb hard drive to be used in the Xbox 360.

    The tutorial i linked to only works with Western Digital hard drives, there is no way to hack any other brand of drive.
