250gb laptop hdd on rgh slim- not detecting

[mafia 5k]

wondering if i should open up the slim to make sure i didnt leave my SATA unplugged:eek2:

but before any of that i wanted to know if anyone has added a non m$ hdd to a rgh slim before and formatted it...:crazy: i have 2 brand new 250gb seagate aptop hard drives here both wont detect in the ggbuild dashboard retro style 14699.

Not tried in a Slim had Microsoft original already, definately works in phat! pop yours back open and check the cables it won't take long

hdd shows up on a xenon jtag so i formatted it but even formatted it still doesnt show on slim any suggestions?

why would i need to format it to fat32 when it was detected on a xenon jtag and formatted as i always do.

problem is the slim is not detecting it ive rebooted ran inital setup the only thing is 1 out of about 15 reboots it showed a spinning loading sign in storage instead of saying no devices detected...

im going to try to compile and flash a fresh image of ggbuild hopefully i see some changes

i have hookedthe hdd to a external power source and connected a sata cable from hdd to console ..... it detects the hdd BUT... something very strange.... happens the video displays horizontal fuzzy lines when hdd is connected THIS way.

if i remove it or connect it via genuine xbox adapter it will not detect it BUT the flickering lines are gone..





also is not detecting my genuine 20gb hdd now either.... could it be a faulty cable? this is a bummer
