When i tried to use it. It was able to flash my HDD just fine, but it didn't ask me for my partitions that i wanted it to use. So i went back in there, and i attempted to make it do so manually. I went back into it, and told it to create it via C. After doing that it does what it shows here. But it never goes away. After sitting there staring at it for 30min i gave up on it. The flashing seemingly works since when i trid it in my 360 it showed up as an unformatted drive.
But it stays like that and doesn't seem to be working. My BIOS' settings for IDE is compatible since that is the only thing i could find that was close to completely removing sata and able to hopefully work with XP and older without a hitch. And that si the only option in my laptop's bios with things related to that. The second drive is obviously the flashed hdd. It was a WD scorpio blue WD2500BEVT since it says that that drive works here i got it.
Now then, with that said, has anyone else had this issue with it not wanting to create the partitions? If it refuses to create them, then i guess i'm left with an empty drive that I won't use, since the only other way that i can imagine to partition it is via teh 360 itself which will probably lead to tons of problems down the road. It probably would be able to do that, but I'm not going to risk it. Also when i did click on it just to see what it'd do it asked for the console's SN. I instantly left it since i felt like it was MS attempting to get the stupider of people to give them the console ID with which to ban the person for using a non-standard HDD(whcih i don't know how they'd be able to tell that since the firmware apparently makes it think that it is legit.)
the mobo on the laptop is the asusg50 series one, whatever it was i cannot remember the specifics right now but i know it's that series of mobos.
Also, on the 360 S does everyone's HDD really sit that well in it? When i put mine in there, it was sort of leaning up against the top after i placed it all of the way in. The one in the picture shows it hanging perfectly in the middle of the system. I imagine that that is best, but I know that mine at least won't fit like that.
I ordered an el-cheapo Rosewill 45 piece magnetic tool kit off of Newegg.com because it was on sale for $14...assumed that it'd come w/ a T6. Nope! T8 yes. T10 yes. Soooo...need to track down a T6 separately.
