Great work Specialist like always.

Kernel will be coming soon

If you wait for the kernel to get hacked to have a bigger hard drive then doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of a bigger hard drive as I am sure Xbox Live! will check for it and thats where most of the hdd space will be used for downloading conent unless you put music on there. It is still awesome but i doubt the kernel will get hacked before MS releases new hdd anyway. Good work

i have a feeling that when they do release a larger HDD that that will provide the key to hacking the Kernel. since it should help them find what code the kernel is looking for

You know, I bet those same people that were calling him an ass for not releasing the DVD exploit will be the same people praising him. Good Work TS. I hope we will soon be able to understand how to take and make our own HUGE HDD's. I can't stand having this 20 gig crap.

"sectors 16 - 22 (7 sectors) from a valid x360 HDD"

Are these sectors the same on all HD's or do they each have a unique per HD signature?

Nice to see some progress in the HDD front. Hopefully soon we won't have capacity/model restrictions.

Would that really matter? for all MS knows you could of brought your HD to play on a friends 360.

Xbox #1 with Gamer Tag #1 logs into Xbox Live to play MMORPG.
Xbox #2 with Gamer Tag #2 logs into Xbox Live (at the same time as #1) to play Gears of War.

Doesn't Microsoft also rely on the hard drive information to lock down their DRM?
It was the hard drive key they used to ban specific Xbox 1's ; ), although for the 360 its more than likely not how they do it.

For now, it's probably wise to avoid this (cloning the hard drive info for use on multiple Xbox's -- for having a cheap second drive, probably safe) for the time being if you value Xbox Live.

I can completely see them reacting to this if for no other reason than to force you into buying their overpriced larger capacity drives when they come out.

Nope not really. From what i read on XH marketplace buys are stored in the TSOP.

Oh and the developer HD might just not be signed (it doesn't really have to, does it?)

So... this will make 20gb HDs cheaper... that's it.
