Your is working fine? Whats the problem?

The hddhackr was only programme to flash WD. I don't think segate can be flash with it. Author notes

Q. Could you do this for my Seagate, Maxtor, Samsung or whatever drive too ?
A. Yes, but I don't have plans to do so. The cheapest WD drive (40 gb) ships
for about $50 and thus is one of the cheapest. It is a lot of work to
convert this tool for usage with other brands and I don't think it is worth
the trouble.

I also had the problem of partition 3 not showing up (I tried the HEX editing but the values where already there).
The solution for me was to play a game on the 360 and create a savegame on the new drive. After that I could see a partition 3 in Xplorer360 on my pc. Maybe a partition 3 only gets added by the xbox360 when needed instead of automatically when formatting the drive?

Guess you just found a solution for me. Thx. notworthy.gif

The xplorer360 " extreme build 2 " was already hex. But I'm not sure why it's not functioning properly.

Btw, can i format the 20gb to use on my pc?

Maybe. You can try. smile.gif

As my tutorial, the hexing part for partition 2 & 3 quite simple.

After you flash the HDD, just boot the pc with windows and ur new flash HDD

Open your Hex editor, choose the new flash HDD

1) Alt + G
2) Search 80000
3) Key in this "58 54 41 46 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 01"
4) Alt + G again
5) Search 120EB0000
6) Key in this "58 54 41 46 FF FF FF FF - 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 01"
7) Go to 120EB0010 which below 120EB0000
8) Key in this "00 00 FF FF FF FF FF FF - FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF"
9) Save and switch off ur pc...
10) plug in the new flash HDD and then format. Once you plug back to ur pc for Xplorer you shd see partition 3.

what i did was.. made a bootable usb pendrive and place hddhackr.com 0.91 version and hddss.bin

after that i only boot up with the wd250gb and detected with hddhackr -f after i flashed it, it asked me to turn off the pc and restart after 10sec, i waited like 15sec

but i get the same shit over and over again.. saying the sector 16 thing..

i dont get a msg that the hdd will be compatible to xbox 360..

- after i check in xbox-scence several people having the same issues as mine.. and some of them were using the same mobo as i was using. some people got it to work around by using via sata pci card to flash it.

well anyone with 965p board got it to work? w or anyone stay at JB so i can go your house.. and you help me flash it w...

bro, i have the same issue as well. most probably like bro mmx mentioned, it would be that the hdd being formatted under windows previously, hence it's not detecting now.

it could also be how the bootable usb is being setup....
i setup my floppy under windows 98 se bootable, and realised that it's the main cause that i failed in flashing the hdd.
coz it could be due the bootable disk create some windows properties onto the hdd when it load in msdos...

In HK, they upgrade the hdd to 120gb and transfer all the data over for you for HK$530 (~RM220). Takes about 2 hours. Someone should start this service in MY. tongue.gif

sorry if OT. just thought i'd share that info.

actually those HK softmodders do 1 step less in the procedure. most of their softmod 120 HDD kenot play xbox1 games - LoL. but they sell cheap on ebay as used drives - so many europeans import them.

i don't think it's testing and experimenting stages because most of us are successful. The only part is flashing and hexing the damn thing. I'll try to resolve it once I finish my exam.

@mmx yeah i think it's the hexing part as well as the initial stages of flashing the hdd. apart from that i think should be ok.
