I Have seen alot of tutorial's about this but it all seems to be for hacking new hard drives and i dont want to do that i have a Official Microsoft 120GB HDD and just want make be recognizable so please if anyone can give a simple help im not very at computers but i can follow instructions so please if anyone can give me a solution to make be recognizable again let me know i don't care about my gamesaves or any of that stuff i just want to get it to work again

EDIT: BTW I Have the FUJITSU 120GB Xbox 360 HDD
 
Try following this tutorial here: https://digiex.net/guides-reviews/c...box-360-how-flash-your-hddss-bin-windows.html and using the 120gb security sector found here: https://digiex.net/downloads/downlo...ector-download-hddss-bin-hddss_120gb-bin.html

I cant guarantee it will work, ive seen mixed results with people fixing a hard drive configured for use as a usb storage device.

I have heard people say format it to NTFS then connect it back to the 360 and it will show up as unformatted, something you could try too.

Give it try you have nothing to loose really, just be sure you accept that you could totally ruin the drive if you mess up when following the above tutorial.

Read what is said here and work through it: it has pictures and is very detailed.

If you follow that tutorial to the letter and it still doesnt work i'm not sure you can really do anything else, i have personally not seen many people recover from the situation you are in unfortunately.

Ok before i start this does my HDD have to be in any specific Format or it does not matter?
 
Id did not work please can anyone give the best suggestion that would most likely work?
 
if that didn't work my only suggestion would be format the HDD to FAT32 then use HDDHACKR and create a bootable device with a flash drive with msdos, after put your bin file there make sure if its hddss120bin to change it to just hddss and include the hddhackr on it probably the latest version if not use 1.2.2 and follow the tutorial on hddhackr on how to go from there
 
BUMP: Can anyone please post ANY tutorials that you would think would defo fix my problem please and also if you post a tutorial please let me know on what should my drive be formated as before I start for example, if it has to be configured as a Xbox 360 USB storage device or FAT32 and so on...... THANKS!
 
You can format it to ntfs. Plug the drive in and go to my computer and right click it,select format & choose ntfs, this may or may not work for the xbox to recognize the drive. There isn't a tutorial that i know of to fix drives formatted like this. The hard drive can always be used for storing files or you can use it in a laptop or desktop after you dissemble the xbox hard drive enclosure.
