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!
