Disconnect all pc hard drives and connect the wd hdd you want to hack to the 1st sata port.
 
Updated my BIOS and still no good... Maybe "Raid" is enabled..? I don't see an option to turn that off... Could that be listed as anything else in the BIOS? I know, noob question, but bear with me <.<

Anything like raid. legacy . ide .sata .ahci. If you can post pictures of the bios, that might help.

After looking at your previous posts. Are you still having the issue in bold below? Try typing in hddhackr.exe

I bought the HDD, hooked it up, flashed the USB drive as the guide instructs (It's an 8GB Sandisk) but the formatting tool would only let me pick FAT32, exFAT, or NTFS, no FAT... So I picked FAT32... Then changed the setting from the default AHCI to IDE, booted via USB, typed hddhacker, and it just goes down a line and sits there and I can't do anything but reboot... I've tried it on both my laptop and my gf's, and neither will do anything more... This is really frustrating. What am I doing wrong..?

Yeah, same issue... BTW, I typo'd in that one post, not when entering it in on the boot menu for hacking the drive... If I typo it on the boot menu, it just says "bad command or file" and I can try typing it again... And if you look in my screenshot, I typed it correctly. I've also tried it with and without .exe on the end, and in all caps and all lowercase... Nothing helps :(

me too the same problem and the boot menu so as to you
 
Try these.
1.Change usb dos creator folder.
-Select the box with 3 dots and choose the USB Drive Boot Files\MS-DOS folder as the location
-Instead of ms-dos, select folder FreeDOS
-Copy hddhackr & hddss.bin to the usb
-Press enter when it asks for date & time. When C:\ shows up, type in hddhackr.exe or hddhackr
2.Try creating the usb dos with this. Boot and Run DOS from USB | USB Pen Drive Linux
-copy hddhackr & hddss
3.Use a different usb drive.
 
I've successfully hacked my 250 gb drive so that my xbox 360 sees it. I formatted it on my xbox 360 with no problems and it seems like all of the storage is available. Now I want to add partition 2 so that I can play old xbox 360 games. But I can't find a copy of Xplorer 360 Extreme 2 that is not corrupted with malware. Does anyone know where I can get an un-infected copy?

Just download it here: https://download.digiex.net/Consoles/Xbox360/AppsPC/Xplorer360Extreme2.7z
Your anti-virus must be flagging that as a virus.It has no malware or viruses.

succeeded with FreeDOS hacked hdd like you said;). How will it be done only at the MS-DOS and with FreeDOS. but nzn or hdd works because I do not have db xbox just weekend you can check, but when I combine hdd to pc and trying too Put your Xplorer360 Extreme2 me he can not find what to do? Do I need xbox formatted hdd?
 
Try making sure to run Xplorer Extreme2 as administrator or it may not see the drive....that is, only if you want the original xbox emulator.

It wouldn't detect mine at first, then i realized I had to run it as admin, then voila, it worked
