    Does it work with WD 3200BEV? (not BEVS/BEVT)

    Hi mates,

    I'm new and I'm going to hack my WD 320GB HDD.

    Just to confirm, does it work with WD 3200BEV External USB Device (full name in Device Manager)?

    Many thanks

    What is the benefit of using this guide vs using SwissKnife to format a 250GB Western Digital Scorpio? Does it basically do the same thing? I'm only asking bc it seems that using swissknife might be easier to do. I'm about to do this for a new 4GB slim console. I don't have any data I want to save/transfer and I don't need to play any old regular Xbox games. Thanks!!!

    you can use the 250gb bin for the 640gb drive it will only show up as 250gb.If you want to use the full 640gb in a computer you need to keep your undo.bin(created automatically) to use the full drive.
    @xxx101
    this does not work with usb hard drives but you can always open the enclosure and take the drive out and connect it via sata.(im not sure if it works with 3200BEV.in the guide it says bevs)
    @jared
    this program hddhackr flashes the drive's firmware and formats it in the xbox360 format.swissknife will not work

    Okay, thanks Rick! I can skip the Xplorer 360 step bc I don't care about old xbox games, correct? Also, I found the 250gb Scorpio Blue on Amazon for $40 shipped. Are there any sites that have it cheaper? I'd also like to get a case if you know where I can find one for cheap. Thanks again!

    Hi danilo303

    I see your HDD is Hitachi.
    it must be Western Digital.
    in first page and several times after all the senior members said it must be western digital not Hitachi.
    hddss.bin cant be match with hitachi firmware.
    this hack work with WD HDD as listed in first post.

    hi

    is it possible to use WD 3.5" like     WD Caviar Blue for this hack?
    I know it cant be fit in xbox 360 HDD case but simple with the cable is possible.

    This has been answered several times so you can look through the posts to find out or be scared, to make it easier it was actually answered right above you.
    I really doubt it as the Xbox seems to be pretty finicky and writing the sectors at the end are probably different. Really the only way to know for sure is probably by trying it as I doubt that anyone ever really has.

    WD 2,5" 250GB SATA2 16/7200 -Black- (WD2500BEKT) - WESTERN DIGITAL
    it was so hard to find 250Gb scorpio black disc in slovenia :) and im from slovenia, sry for my bad english :S
    EDIT: something else i want to know... is 30Mb USB key to small for this? I dont need it, it was my first USB(long time ago :))

    Hi danilo

    I saw the photo again. It is appear that the manufacturer is Hitachi. maybe u entered wrong number of SATA drive.
    be sur that u disconnected all of hardwares connected then connect WD HDD and try again.
    try to connect ur WD HDD to the same SATA cable that ur PC HDD is connected.
    be sur that u rename (HDDSS_250GB.BIN to HDDSS.BIN).

    experience is the best teacher. dont forget
