Hey I did this awhile back, but it did not create Partition 2 for playing Original Xbox games. I recently wanted to play this, but couldn't because this HDD doesn't have those files to play it. Is there a way to, without deleting all the data, add Partition 2 to the HDD?

Do I have to connect the hard drive internally to my pc, or can I just flash/format the drive with a USB convertor?

I bought a western digital 250 GB scorpio blue i run the hddhackr and go all the way through to the hddss.bin file then it askes name of undo file so i just type undo wasnt sure what to type but anyway it asks if i want to make compatible with 360 i put y for yes then asks to make partitions 0 2 3 i put y for yes then runs for a sec and says western digital vendor info failed on port 0xff00 anyone figure out how to fix this thank you
Possibly wrong port? Your hd is plugged in internally correct? I had gotten the same error when I tried a SATA to USB converter. Check with Jungle Flasher to make sure that is the correct port.


Would you guys reccomend this model?

The OP has a list of Hard drives, if it isn't on there, I wouldn't try it.

Do I have to connect the hard drive internally to my pc, or can I just flash/format the drive with a USB convertor?
From what I can gather, yes. I have tried various ways(USB to SATA and the transfer cable) and so far no dice. There might be a way around it(doubtful) but, I think it would be easier to connect it internally. Preferable in place of your current hard drive so that you don't try and format the wrong drive.


Also, I have a question of my own. Despite the port being correct (I checked on both Jungle Flasher and iPrep), I still get the "No ATA Device Present" error message. Should have the hard drive plugged in while finding the port (don't know why that would do anything but, I am getting desperate)? Or how about trying a different port?

I am not going crazy here, am I? I mean, WD2500AAJS seems like a hard drive name to me. That isn't the hard drive I am trying to flash (obviously) but, it is the same port. Any information as to what I could be doing wrong, would be very helpful.

I am having problems with this hack I actually made the flash drive on my desktop and then moved it to my laptop to hack the new drive. However, when I attempted to hack it just stayed in start screen flash utility. What am I doing wrong?

This is my first post on any Xbox related forum site, forgive me for my troubles are ruthless, possibly simple to deal with. I have a WD2500BEVS - 22USTO manufactured in June 11 2008. (As far as I can tell, this drive is in the list of usefull hard drives at 250gb) I am successfully booting from my flashdrive, using HDDHackr, BUT HDDHackr cannot find an ata drive. It is a Western digital Scorpio series laptop hard drive. I have attempted this with two different laptops.
Does the se7ensins world have any suggestions?
Side Notes
-have formatted the hard drive in Fat 32 then Fat then NTFS. I know it does not play a part in HDDHackr's ability.
-I have also successfully booted from the hard drive prior to formatting it.
Thanks for any possible suggestion

As much as i wanted to do this, I found it easier just to buy a BNIB 250 OEM HDD off ebay for $60 shipped

I purposely joined this se7ensins forum just to let you know this Tutorial still works.
Tested this on a seagate Western HDD was 160gb but only can use 120.. not that i'm bothered because now I have more memory :biggrin: One happy guy... The only thing I suggest is if it does not work using MS-DOS.. Use FREE-DOS... some HDD's require the right formatting option so FREE-DOS might work instead :smile: Happy flashing :biggrin:

And thank you Scottocs for this tutorial :smile:
