Make sure it is the only SATA device that is connected. Connect an *original* xbox 360 HDD to your SATA controller. If you don’t have one, here’s how to create one from a valid xbox 360 HDD:īoot to dos from a writeable medium (like a floppy). To use this tool, you need a HDD security sector file (‘hddss.bin’). * How to use: Get yourself a Western Digital SATA BEVS HDD. This specific tool is written for use with the Western Digital BEVS series only ! * What: This tool will allow you to use HDD’s that are not ‘certified’ by Microsoft. While great care has been taken, this tool may contain bugs and therefore may seriously harm your HDD. I’ll hope to be able to support the RST version of the drive in a future version of this tool. This tool currently ONLY supports the ‘LAT’ version ! You can find on the sticker of the HDD which version it is. After that, continue as normal with the hddhackr and everything will be fine.Īlso, I’d like to stress that there are 2 versions of the WD BEVS drive out there: the ‘RST’ and the ‘LAT’ version. However, this current version can not dump the hddss.bin file automatically from that drive, you’ll have to manually dump sectors 16-22 with a tool like winhex and save them as ‘hddss.bin’. Alas, the interwebs have shown me the light and there is a hack to add on a much cheaper 120GB HDD, Western Digital Scorpio BEVS-LAT SATA 2.5-inch PC/laptop, to my beloved Xbox 360.Īttached is the latest version of the hddhackr. But $179 is a lot for a HDD that we can purchase for much cheaper. The release of the 120GB HDD for the Xbox 360 was something we’ve (read: fanboys) been waiting for since the 360 was released.
