My own experienced and share with you guys, please take an attention.
For those who are going to exchange the new hdd unofficially and manage to backup the profile and save files from the old hdd to pc, please do not connect your old hdd to pc through SATA directly, this may corrupt the old hdd sector and cause the x360 console can't recognize it. Once your hdd couldn't recognize by console or xplorer360, then just call it a day.
I met this problem now, and my 20gb hdd was corrupted, it can't recognize by x360 console, pc and xplorer360. It is a junk now. I can't find any solution to recover my 20gb hdd.
I checked it in other forum and i found that many ppl was met this problem after connected to pc via SATA cable.

Found this solution on some forum:
Your 20 gb drive is not detected in xbox? No problem! :-)
Gigabyte mobo's creates a 2113 Sectors long HPA (Host Protected Area). Remove this area!
Download HDAT2 and remove the HPA. See FAQ Q1:
After this power off the PC (do not reboot!) and put the drive in the xbox.
I'm in the process of upgrading my 2nd hand 20gb hdd to 120gb so would like to know if anyone have success with gigabyte mb.
