using non MS hard drive?

[dribe_ple]

I know there used to be ways to use a regular laptop HD in the 360 but dont remember the specs and sizes.
Ive tried to google but i guess its so old now i cant find anything.

Anyone know of or have the instructions to format a regular laptop HD for a 360, I have a spare 80gig lying around I wanted to use to replace my 20 on there.

The 20 is actually already out of its case and just taped to the side so that parts done lol.

thanks

No sorry it has to be 20, 60, 120, 250 or 320 and u have to clone it from either if those u intend to use u cant use your 80gb but u can in a ps3.

I assume your console isn't modified in any way?

You can install pretty much any 2.5" (or 3.5" with some modifications) hard drive into a JTAG/RGH system.

A retail system requires a 20GB/60GB/120GB/250GB/320GB HDD as mentioned above and it must be a particular model (one compatible with HDDHackr - the WD BEVS/BEVT drives are quite popular).

thanks guys. i would have even partitioned off 20 gigs and used it as a 60 but its not a WD its a hitachi. system is not j tagged,

its not a WD its a hitachi. system is not j tagged,

Unless it still has a valid M$ HDD security sector on, you are out of luck.

You also won't be able to play original xbox games with an unofficial micro$oft hdd.

This procedure is what I've followed before when I used an ordinary laptop drive.

The only trouble is finding the image.... but if you search enough there is plenty out there in google....
