Hack a 250gb, 320gb or 500gb Sata harddrive to work in the Xbox 360 and Xbox 360 Slim

That's what I thought, but I've made it twice now. Going to try a full format of the drive then create again with a fresh download of the boot creator. If that doesn't work, I'll find another flash drive.

Nothing on the drive to start with... I emptied it before doing this.


Update:
It was the flash drive... not sure why but most of the space that was taken up is just gone. There is nothing there, not even when I'm showing hidden files. Yet when I format it FAT, it's missing like 1.3G of space.
Used a different flash drive and all went well and as described in the original post.

Question about backing up save data of the old drive...
Can I use a USB Enclosure for that part?

 

Thank you, thank you...thank you!!!

I'm not sure if it was just me, but I was not prompted to create the partitions in the 1.30 version of hddhackr. I did it manually and it worked fine.

Thanks again for all of your hard work! It is MUCH appreciated.

 

Completed successfully. Thanks a lot for the guide.

A couple of nuances I wanted to mention in case anyone else has these issues.

1) I ran into the "error cannot write data cluster;id 4177526783 is out of range" error as described here: Error With Xplorer 360 Extracting Partition 3 - Scenyx Entertainment Community
This prevented me from using Xplorer360 to back up my 20G drive b/c of it.
Some research pointed me to Xport 360 which allowed me to back up my files. I still used Xplorer360 to put the info back on the new drive.

2) Not sure if it was just me, or if it is an assumed step or what, but the line that says "Now shutdown windows, disconnect your original 360 drive and connect the hacked 250gb drive." ... When doing that, Xplorer360 would not find it and tell me "no fatx drive found." (which I kind of expected since all we did was install the security sector. I ended up having to enclose my 250G drive and hook it up to my 360 so it could format it first. Then Xplorer360 was able to see it. Not sure if this is always required or not, but it was for me.

That's about it. Booted up my 360 this morning with the new drive, it downloaded an update and done.
Hopefully that will continue.

Thanks again for the guide and for the help with the USB drive.

 

I dont suppose anyone has an UNDO.BIN for a WD3200BEVT - 11ZCTO I deleted by accident D:

Or anyway to get it back to this? Could i ask WD?

Thanks

 

do you have to use the specified drives or can i use a toshiba 200 gig and it will just only be 120 gig?

 

I think for the flash programs to work right it has to be the drives listed or and of the same support drives M$ uses and MS only use's sizes 20, 60, 120, 250 I know people have flashed other drives but will only have one of the sizes listed so if you do use a 200 it would only be the 120

 

Anyone who can help me with my problem?

 

Cool cause I was gonna try and use my 200 gig toshiba hardrive which if it will work as a 120 im happy with that

 

for some reason my usb drive is not booting , i copied the files it said to the usb drive but its not booting up to the flash program any suggestions?

hi everyone
i´m new here..

so
I have the same HD of this topic( WD2500BEVT) and I have a Laptop.
so I type hddhackr, press enter but nothing happens !
I tried to turn off AHCI, but it doesn´t work anyway

ps: this hd is "old", it worked before, but I deleted many files on Xport360 and since now it doesn´t work. So I´m trying to hack again.

 

Hi nutter sorry to bother you but im trying to mod my disc but i keep runing into this error.



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

hope you can help me.

regards

 

Your device or cd with dos on it already had undo.bin or was not allowed to write to disk or no free space so you got that error.when you undo the drive you need to download it somewhere but its not guaranteed to work.

 

The thing is that on the usb drive there's no UNDO.bin check it.

 

Thank you so much for the answer, i've tried what you tould me but i cant still make it work, im starting to think that im kind of dumb hahahahaha.

First ir run HDDHACKR and i got this screen.



So then i typed hddhackr f 09f0 hdds.bin undo.bin



Then i tried again the clasic way and got this again:



man thank you so much for your help, i know im probably a pain in the a** hahahah cheers

 

Try a different flash drive.
