On Modio have you tried clicking "Explore A Device" then in the new window File > Open/Close Drive? I've never used any of the other utilities you listed but that normally works for me.

Do you still have the phat Xbox? If you do or have a buddy that does just use that to transfer it to a USB stick.

yes i have tried it & i get the following

no it has the rrod
i guess im going to have to try & find someone with a phat 360
by the way that error appears while running as admin

 

[Johnny8675309]

Have you tried right clicking Modio and doing "Run as Administrator"?

Nevermind I somehow didn't read the last line. You're connecting it via your on board sata?

 

[bigdog6262]

lol np & yes i am

 

[Johnny8675309]

When you connect the drive to your computer you're doing it before you boot your computer right? Since you can't hot swap (plug in) standard SATA devices.

 

[bigdog6262]

i have tried that & still no go but i will attempt it again to make sure

ok just shutdown my pc unplugged the drive plugged it back up & turned on my pc & still a no go

It's not picking up any FATX devices, you'll need to make sure you have the drivers for the HDD for exploration on PC. If you have the Xport Dock or XSATA, try replacing a few times with blowing the cartridge slots and if it doesn't pick it up that way. Looks like the SATA connector on the device has malfunctioned. Again you're best method would probably be USB if that fails to work.

where do i dl them R even check n see if i got them

Xport Dock or XSATA

i don't got ether one of those

ok i will blow on the connectors & attempt it a few more times im also going to test my sata connection with my sata 320gb failing drive it will let me know my sata is still working

USB

a usb 2 sata connector ?

 

[Johnny8675309]

Being that you are running Vista/7 it should automatically load the drivers since the 20 gig is just a standard drive in a fancy case. Does the drive show up under Device Manager (Start >[Right Click] My Computer > Manage > Device Manager > Disk Drives.

Dark_Riku is referring to either using an external HDD - USB bridge or a X360USB Pro. I have had success using both but my modding tower isn't running Vista/7 so that may be a contributing factor. To test the port I would just move the SATA cable from your working internal hard drive to the port you've been plugging the 360 drive into. If the tower boots then its not your SATA port.

 

[bigdog6262]

Does the drive show up under Device Manager

no

would just move the SATA cable from your working internal hard drive

the hdd that i have been using is ide as my sata drive is failing so i removed it & installed the ide that i now use for my os
& i moved the sata cable to 2 other slots if i remember correct

 

[bigdog6262]

still a no go

 

[bigdog6262]

Windows can't read and write correctly to an Xbox hdd without help. Go download Party Buffalo and use that to get your info from one drive to another. you say you've tried it, but you have to choose your device from the Device Selector located in the File menu. It doesn't just pop up on its own.

alright i will give it a try again
but if that fails would that device work to get the data
i would like to know while i still got time to cancel my order from amazon

 

[crono1000]

I'm sure the tool would work, but if you can't get Party Buffalo to work I would go another route still...

Grab a USB flash drive and format it with the Xbox 360. Then use the memory area in the System tab to transfer from your drive to the memory stick, then from the memory stick to the slim. Get it?

Might be slower depending on size of memory stick... but saves you money
