[gakhtur]

i think this is wrong section. sorry for that. i realized that after posted this. moderators pls move this topic to tech section thx


first of all hi.

1 week ago , i have decided to connect my x360 hdd to pc.  i have connected hdd with SATA. i have run xplorer360. Before that  everything is cool. i saw 3 partition. suddenly i saw an error (i dont remember ) but i didnt care. anyway  , i unplugged hdd from my pc and plugged to my xbox 360 but xbox didnt recognize. it says "no storage device found" . i plugged it back my HDD to pc and opened xplorer360. now it doesnt show partition 3. xport doesnt see my hdd too but xplorer360 sees my hdd

i have dumped hddss.bin with xplorer 360 after this things happened. i dont care what inside my hdd. just want to use my HDD with my xbox.

now what should i do? i m gonna add some image for your information. thank you for your help and sorry for my english.

there was never an official release for the 250gb version of Xplorer360, it was a mere hex-edit so it would recognize the partition 3 on the 250gb

You probably have ruined a perfect 250gb slim drive, by using software on it that it was never intended for. There might or might not be a fix for this.

What you also could've done was do a search either on Google or on here. This might be your "issue".

first connection with my pc , i have seen partition 3 but i have done something wrong (i dont know what it is and it gave me an error that i didnt care) and partition 3 has gone. i dont know what i have done really. looks like i m going to use this HDD for my pc ...

certain mobo's change a drives HPA value when it is connected that can appear to kill your drive.

there is a solution to this posted on this forum which jelle2503 has kindly provided above.

good news   i tried http://www.xboxhacker.org/index.php?topic=12062.0  Tutorial 2: Removing the HPA without altering data (use this tutorial if your data is still intact however your 360 doesn't see the disk) i did what topic says and now my hdd is working good. everything has gone in my hdd but i dont care. it is working back yay!

English please instead of jibberish.

And I don't know if you understand English, but the OP seems to have resolved his issue so there's no need for you to reply anymore
