bro one thing about the tutorial here

Tutorial – Editing the Partitions In Windows

Meaning I have to plug in my desktop HDD and let it load windows, and the from windows, edit this partition?

haven't started yet, still in the office, will be at home by 4pm, then will be asking for help hehehe...
btw, i checked my MOBO, only 4 sata port...

bro have tried, when i tried the first time this one come up

1) “fatal error, the ec sector count was not found in the FW” – you need to change your HDD. Might due to you have formatted the HDD in windows

but i didn't format or do anything.....i just ran from a windows 98se bootdisk

wd 160bevs

yeah i managed to figure the hex, that's when that message pop up when i run hddhackr -f

hmm...i was wondering coz i didn't do anything when it comes to formating. could it be because i use windows 98se bootup disk?

anyway possible for 1-to-1 exchange ar?

hmm......ok i am wondering if they allowed me to do it...hey what did you tell them when you want to change it?

ok sorry was away
just came back to change my hdd
ok basically what i did.....
i setup floppy with windows 98se bootable
when i tried the first time, it can't detect the drive
so when i tried open msinfo32
i notice that my scsi got no info, info only available in ide
so i change the hex value accordingly and when i connect the drive again when i tried to enter hddhackr -f it can detect the drive
then it prompt for flashing i click 'y'
then prompt for create undo bin i click 'y'
right after that, the error message comes up

i suspect that also
coz when it was booting up, got ask whether you need to setup with cdrom support or not lar...or.....this and that

bro, i encounter difficulties when i plug back the 120G drive, can't detect partition 3. i have tried to figure out what does it mean on point 17

i see all zero, then i open the xplorer using hex workshop as well right?
then when i save and load xplorer again, nothing happen

i don't need to change anything when i open hex workshop on step 17 and 18?

Added on November 22, 2008, 9:50 ambut the work document that you compile request to change the hex first before formatting it righht?

Added on November 22, 2008, 12:50 pmok managed to complete it.....haha spent till 230am last nite figuring out the hexing part...

er bro mmx, on the hexing part right, we still need to enter those values in row 400 hex right? if not xplorer360 still won't recognise the partition 3

apart from that everything is alrite, i think i encounter a lot of problems, from the flashinb part up till the hexing part haha, but good fun...

yeah same here...just in case....

i think your guide is ok, but do add the part where it requires you to add in the hex part as mentioned in scene-xbox, i think that would ease the confusion. and about winhex, it's good coz i think the main reason the author put that is so that we can check whether we correctly hex the part to XTAF (as in 80000 hex)

no problem about the model, will update later coz not at home......but i think worth it, although i spent much more on a 250G HDD...kekeke

Mine is WD2500BEVS.....

about 180....
