the 120gb WD is a 2.5" or 3.5" ?

sata / ide ?

lol i also wan give this a try since ive got the NXE already

its awesome

any wd scorpio 120gb will do?

thanks for the feedback
I will await your reply , cant wait to hear from you.

succeed is 1 criteria , but doing it is another

why buy a 160gb when it can only recognize 120gb

on top of that, a 120gb is cheaper

me too at first skeptical which hdd i want to buy becos i can't find the BEVS drive. but then i decided
if the hdd not compatible i'll just use it as storage device.

i bounght Western Digital Scorpio Blue 1600 BEVT for RM 155. if u want further info call the shop,
i bought mine at PC DEPOT. u can check here : http://www.pcdepot.com.my

and if u don't want to retain your old save game, the process is very simple. just run the hddhackr and format the drive using xbox360.
the hard part(not actually that hard) is to copy your old files using xplorer360 and some hex editing.

and be careful becoz some have broken their original 20gb hdd when they try to copy files in it via xplorer360.
in my case the ori 20gb still intact and recognize by xbox360.

good luck upgrading!

yes, i succeded upgrading the BEVT...all saved games restored. only forza 2 saved game didn't work, need to delete all and create new save game
for forza 2 to be able to play.

first i need to get a 160gb wd sata drive and then, a sata connector thanks to my ancient motherboard

btw, this also means downtime for ur xbox 20gb right, cause u are working on it together with the 120gb?

oke mmx
how much the hdd cost wehhh
can u do it for me...pls....for sake of frenz...foc summore

hmm... actually quite easy.. only u need to find the correct Sata controller.. which I fail with few motherboard... guess i need to find a via sata controller for it...

yup i can detect, once flash, the message "fatal error, the ec sector count was not found in the FW"

I tried few board.. still can't even with hex edited
I'm using 1600BEVS

aisehhh
i using laptop only
how?

flash la...hex no problems at all

so is it that using BEVT cannot 100% successful?

how come bevt is easier? I saw some post at xbox scene said that BEVT arent compatible for some of them.

i am using p35 chipset, dunno what controller it is using. Is it the southbridge ICH9?

ok noted about the hddhackr

on another note, u used "Xplorer360 'extreme build 2' " or the other?

im going 2 go find a hddss.bin now

bought from ... where else, lowyat

there got sell 160gb 2.5" bevt and bevs

But ppl experiencing BEVT cannot flash while BEVS is 100% work... Haiz, just try luck 1st ba.

however wunan and mmxzero managed to with a bevt

i think bevs needs to do all that hex crap man, check out the guide for urself =.=''

gosh.. suicide*

let me share my experience....

the original xplorer360 beta6 is used to explore and copy the content of ori 360 hdd.

but somehow xplorer360 beta6 not compatible with western digital hdd, and u cannot see the content in it.
that's why u need hex editing both your wd hdd and the xplorer360 beta6 itself.

xplorer360 xtreme build 2( an edited version of beta 6) suppose to solve this problem.
so if u can see all the partition in your wd hdd with extreme build 2, u don't have to do any hex editing.

and another note....use winhex to do hex editing...it easier and straight forward.
its recommended from the creator of hddhackr and xtreme 2 himself.

i read that the winhex needed registration?

ok looks like ill be using the winhex then instead of the hex workshop

btw, the hexagon shaped screw on the xbox hard disk... sigh, thats giving me a head ache... need to go get the tools

Pls do not format ur HDD using windows...

just directly do the flash...

u mean BEVT can work?

Yup b4 I flash tht shit off.... just leave the format out.. once u get ur hdd from those static bag.. directly flash ur HDD.. if u format with windows, its might configure the sector of ur hdd
Yes.. I'm using WD3200BEVT - 002CT0

Depends on where u live, at there i go those super saver shop, like rm10 or less can get full set T screwdriver lol. Now still thinking of whether wan upgrade the hdd or not..

anyone..
i need to upgrade my hdd...
since mmx didnt had sata....

Sry la bro me kat penang
If you dun mind to send ur HDD + UR xbox drive to me.. 
So far ok lar.. mine upgraded to NXE and installed GoW 2
so who wanna do the tutorial?

yea of coz . haha, if not ppl just install using ori , then can play edi. M$ gg haha

Added on November 20, 2008, 1:04 pmwhere u guys get the hddss.bin ?

btw bro mmx, the pc we using need to have a floppy disk drive to run the setup disk?

hei guys

ive got a problem

my xbox has just formatted my 160GB to 107GB , no problems

now i slot in my 20GB into the PC

using xbox explorer 360 & extreme 2 doesnt not show anything

In this line

Within Xplorer360 click "Drive" then "Open" then "Hard Drive or Mem Card". It should take a few seconds and then pop up some partitions in the left hand window. (If it doesn't detect the drive, check the connections and also make sure that your SATA controller driver is properly installed.)

I can see the 20GB hard disk in windows but xbox 360 explorers cant
error returned : cant find a FATX
what do i do now? initialize the hard disk ?
