I am trying to format a WD Scorpio Black 320Gb Hard Drive to work in my xbox 360 4Gb slim model, I have tried several things to get it to work I first tried the HDDHackr and followed the steps,i used F to flash drive using HDDSS320.bin file for 320GB drives, created a undo.bin formated 0/2/3 i was told by program that it was compeleted but when i tried to gut it in my xbox it did not show a drive was there. I then undid everything and trried to used the 250GB HDDSS.bin was told the same thing drive is formated and will work in xbox 360 again did not show up. i then tried to use the hex editor with windows vista. i get an error the the drive can't be done dur to bad sector or wirong peremissions ect i am running as administrator still get error. I dont know what else to try, PLEASE HELP
hmm I had an issue somewhat similar. When it does a format it doesn't ever REALLY format. If you can manage to get it hooked up to your computer again you run a windows xp installation disk. Then use the delete partition option for the drive in question. Like completely wipe it out with that. Then you may be able to start over with the tutorial. Or even just cross your fingers and try to put it into the xbox after erasing the drive. Since the drive will be COMPLETELY blank the xbox might recognize it and request to format it. This is all theoretical I haven't tried it myself, but hey even if it doesn't work that fluently at least you'll have a completely wiped drive and partition; which will leave you in a much better position than I think you're in now.
i formatted it as FAT32 and it was a NO GO still wont see it i will try to remove the partition and see what happens thanks
No problem. Again though make sure you use a windows xp installation disk I'm not so sure any partition programs will do it properly. I could be wrong, but As before at least you'll have a completely wiped drive so that you can start again from the beginning. Instead of being stuck up a creek with no paddle.
Do a format of the drive using windows to ntfs after it has been undone first, you can connect it via sata or sata to usb you can also use disk management to clear partitions and start fresh
