Phreak9001 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Hak5.org Ask about 360 HDD modding XBOX360 Original HDD: Manufacturer:Seagate Model:Unknown (N/A) Size: 20.0 GB SN:5NT2REMA Format:SATA Format State: FATX NEW (HOPEFUL MOD) HDD: Manufacturer:Hitachi Model:Travelstar (HTS541080G9SA00) Size: 80.0 GB SN:MPBDP0XKJMB52M Format:SATA Format State: None What I would like to do is replace my old XBOX360 HDD with this new bigger drive. Purpose being that after the recent Dashboard update, you can now save games to the HDD. A 20.0 GB Drive just can't hold the various game files, updates, and the games themselves with such little amount of space. So, what I have been able to accomplish thus far is to create an image of my 20.0 GB drive using a program called 360explorer or something like that. Here's where I need your help, I need to know if it is possible to use the new drive in a 360. Secondly, is there a way to format the drive so that it will work, and if so, how is that? If this is possible, is there a way to extract the data from the original HDD or from the image file to retain all save files, updates, etc. I would really appreciate the help. All progress including pics, and walkthroughs, will be posted as they come about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 The xbox uses a propitiatory file system that is similar to NTFS but not the same. You have to buy a bigger hard disk form Microsoft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
