    If you format your drive then install a game that failed before does it then install ok?

    From what your saying it sounds like the discs of some of the games you are trying to install are damaged, I installed every game i own and found one of my games had a small scratch on it, the game would play fine but failed to install about half way through. I borrowed the game off a friend, installed his copy which installed perfectly now i can play from the hard drive with my copy of the game in the console.

    i have gone into disc manager and at the bottom of the page wd drive is listed as disc 2 basic 232.88 gb online but at the top of the page i get a list of the drives but the wd is not listed my two IDE hard drives. Could this have a bearing on the problem? In my computer the wd is not shown at all.

    I'm having the same problem as glg

    Upon selecting f for flash in the prompt I get a message stating:

    "Enter the file name for sector 16-22 (e.g. HDDS.BIN)."

    Any clue what could be wrong? I plugged it into a laptops SATA port.

    It's the same as the first screenshot glg has of the 3.

    Hi,

    I have bought the exact same hard drive as you pictured (Insane Nutter).
    I follow all of your steps to the letter, but when i get into the dosprompt screen and enter "hddhackr" and then press eneter,
    i just get a flashing underscore... that just stays there forever.

    I'm using a laptop (Acer 8930G) and before you ask yes i am using the internal connections :)

    I'd love to get this working and i'd really appreciate any help!

    Many Thanks,

    James

    If you have an option for AHCI in your bios disable it, it could also be the sata chipset in your laptop is not compatible although it is a lot more compatible than it used to be.

    Im not an expert with Hddhackr, but for me AHCI caused any problems I had. You might also want to check out the official hddhack thread on Xbox Hacker if your lucky one of the developers might be able to help you a bit more than I can if you haven't managed to get it working yet.

    Hey guys, I know someone said that doing this won't get you banned but does anyone know this for sure? I have the WD2500BEVT HD in my laptop (which I've been meaning to upgrade HDs anyways) and even a torx T6 screwdriver but I really don't want to get banned.

    You will not get banned, at worse microsoft might disable the hard drive like what happend with the datel memory cards, its unlikely but there is always a chance.

    Even if it did happen im sure they would be a work around released asap.

    To restore content to the 250gig drive close xplorer extreme and load the 250gb xplorer up, only touch partition 3 in xplorer 250gb and nothing will corrupt.

    For people who carnt find HDDSS.BIN did you extract the zip file and rename it to HDDSS.BIN?

    Yes it has to be one of the supported WD drives.
