Finally, after 5 hrs of trial, I got my 250GB HDD working already.

I got the HDD 250GB at Digital Mall.

The difference compared to 120GB is the hddhackr version is 1.22, the new HDDSS and you need BOTH Xplorer360 Extreme 2 to copy xbox emulator (partition 2)/Partition 3 data and Xplorer360 250GB edition to transfer Partition 3 data to new 250GB HDD(This version cannot be used on other than 250GB HDD!). The Xplorer360 250GB edition MUST only use DRAG & DROP to new 250GB HDD

It's a very dramatic day actually,

I went to post office and felt a "golden aura" on that Digital Mall building, I simply walk in and walk into largest store & ask "Do you have 250GB laptop harddisk?" and that dude replied "Got~~~! WD Scorpio, want or not?"

Easier than I pound the mouse madly for few hrs for a shop that sell that HDD~~~! hahaha~!

2 bad news thou....

The harddisk is hotter than the bundled hitachi + My Forza 3 profile corrupted.....nasib baik just finished 1st year campaign....and the Nissan GT-R still roaring. hahaha~!

The GT-R's engine sound is fooking near to real sound~~~~~~

Waa..so easy u can get.

Actually the Forza 3 savegame is not corrupted. If u have memory unit or the Arcade built in, u can move it to MU and move it back to the HDD. Happened to my Forza 3, Forza 2 and The Last Remnant savegames.
*
Yeah, it's not actually corrupted. It just that it says the profile no longer vaild, and YES, I do not have ANY memory UNIT~~~~~


Added on December 13, 2009, 8:02 amUpdate...using MU to transfer save & profile didn't work to me too~~~~~!

Hi Navigator,

What is the initial hdd space you have immediatley after you upgrade your new 250GB HD? Coz, Saw your screenshot it shown only 223GB ?
*
Please understand that whatever system you're in, as long as there is a file system involved, your available space will surely be reduced bacause file system itself need a tremendous amount of harddisk space just to operate.

For xbox360's case, there're some buffer partition and xbox emulator partition + my own data from old harddisk.

So you guess it where the space went for and it doesn't mean WD or the HDDSS is cheating.

You can go to view your own PC's available partition as reference.

hi all
my 60gb drive just kaput. tried everything but cant get it to work. get the e68 error.
i am looking to buy a new hdd from lyn and it seems 120gb ok, now 250gb also ok. how about the 320gb. anyone have success in making this work and if so did you get the full 320gb approximately (less OS space)?
this is because today ms released xbox w 360gb drive in japan.

thanks

Currently there're no HDDSS.bin to support anything other than 20GB, 60GB, 120GB & 250GB.

HDDSS.bin is a harddisk service sector file copied out from readily available XBOX harddrive.

So, your answer is no. you still can get 250GB at max only.

The new hddhackr can read bevt so it's not a problem. The new xplorer can also read the new hdd without using the hexedit.

Photos I attached earlier on the same page clearly shows what harddisk is that....
