Introduction
This tutorial will explain to you how to upgrade your Xbox 360 Harddrive using a program called "HDDHackr". I take no responsibility for users who damage their own equipment in any way, shape or form. The method's listed below are proven to work so whatever you do is at your own risk.

What is HDD Hackr?
This tool will allow you to use HDD's that are not 'certified' by Microsoft.

only!

HDDHACKR.EXE

Xplorer360 extreme2

Xplorer360 0.9b6 with 120GB patch-hack

All hddss.bin files, 20Gb to 250Gb

How to use
Get yourself a Western Digital SATA BEVS HDD. To use this tool, you need
a HDD security sector file ('hddss.bin'). If you don't have one, here's how
to create one from a valid xbox 360 HDD:

* Dumping the hddss.bin file *
Boot to dos from a writeable medium (like a floppy). Connect an *original*
xbox 360 HDD to your SATA controller. Make sure it is the only SATA device
that is connected. Now run 'hddhackr -d'. This will create a file 'hddss.bin'
and it will save it to the path you've started the hddhackr from.

* Modding your Western Digital *
Now turn off your PC and connect the Western Digital and boot to dos again.
Type 'hddhackr -f' from the same path you have saved the hddss.bin file to.
This will flash your FW. It will ask if you want to create an undo file. It
is advised to do so. This will create an 'undo.bin' file that you need if
you want to undo the hack.

* Check if it worked *
Shut down your pc, reboot again to dos and again type 'hddhackr -f'. It
should now tell you that the drive should work in your x360. If so, connect
it to your x360 and go to your dashboard/system/memory where you should be
able to format the drive.

* Restoring your WD to original state *
If you don't want to use your modded WD in your x360 anymore and you want to
flash it back to its original size, then you can now do so. Boot to dos again
and run 'hddhackr -u'. This will use the undo.bin file you created before to
restore the drive to its original state.

If you dont understand the tutorial in this post, there is also one included in the provided file.

That's what I was thinking. Or is it just for the updated dash that is only in beta right now?

But I think it would only be a matter of time before it's figured out

My 120gb drive works fine with the update... I think they only stopped the Datel memory units from working.

They stopped the use of all datel products.
Our modded HDD's will still work perfectly.

You have to use a SATA Cable on this so no kind of xport wont work?

If you want to mod your profile just hook the sata cable to your computer, and open xport or xplorer360.

It will work just like a transfer cable.
