for people having trouble doing this with winXP and using the connectivity kits HDD adaptor, make sure is is connected up properly. even if you have it connected via usb, you still need the sata cable connected to the PC. the USB only carries power to the drive

Can you explain this further?

I have the mitigation cable that XBOX gives away for those that own Elites. I have that connected to my XBOX HDD and also to my CPU.

FATX error. So you are telling me I need ANOTHER cord?

[thr4773r]

No, you don't need another cord. The official MS kit works with your hard drive by itself if you have enough power to your USB.
You may need the Xplorer 360 TS put out some time ago though. I can't remember which Xplorer 360 I used to dump my Elite's hard drive, but I would try the Xplorer 360 Beta 6. Should be easy enough to find.

I have been pulling my hair out with this one. Running vista and it worked a treat with 'run as administator'.

Many thanks.

Just need to work it all out now :-)

Are you guys running Windows Vista? If so you need to make sure you run xplorer360 as administrator. I had this error then gave that a shot and voila, it worked!

I tried run Xplorer360 as administrator on Vista, but I still got the same problem of FATX problem.
What should I do ? could someone help me to solve this problem?
Thanks!

I tried as well and still have the same exact problem. I am running v10 of Xplorer360 that came with my Datel XSATA. Of course those jerks at Datel will not support thier own dang products so I am hoping y'all can help out.

Try updating the drive's driver from Device Manager as well as the driver for your sata card.

[zachaqsw]

the problem is your not runing the program as an admin.This is how to fix the problem you right-click the xplorer360 icon on your desktop and under the "general" tab go to advance and check the box that says run as administrator and problem solved

I recently hooked my 360 harddrive up to my comp to use xplorer360 but when i try to open it up i get a "could not find a fatx drive to open" what am i not doing right.

(Vista Users)

Right click on Xplorer360.

Properties:

Click the "Compatibility" Tab.

Check: "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
Windows XP (Service Pack 2)

Also check to always run as administrator.

same problem here.

trying to undelete my savegame on 512mb mem unit,
running vista,
using xplorer360 v.9b6,
drivers installed: X360 MU USBIO - Device 1
.exe properties changed to xp sp2 comp and run as admin for all users and for me

still nada...

is there some sort of elimination process i could try?
eg
1st) driver has to work, you can check here and there
2nd) do this
3rd) do that

or something like that would help...

ps i do not have a dvd drive and therefore could not use anything from there. the drivers i got of the web.
is there an official source for these? the datel homepage isn't worth anything...

ps not using the drivers also doesnt help

[FutabaGP]

Quiet a same problem. I have an official 20GB HDD, xplorer360 detect it fine. And i have 2.5 seagate 160gb hdd hoocked up to XBR xbox. I've formated it on x360, its working fine. But when i want to open it in xplorer360 it gives me the same error "Could not find FATX drive to open". How can i exlplore that XBR HDD?

ok here is why some are not able to use the hard drives in xplorer360,  If you are using a non official M$ hard drive it is missing the official partitions for it to work properly.  you will need to use a program like hddhacker and use the option to create the partitions or you will have to hex edit the drive like this:

add the missing partition manually starting at byte 0x80000 of your non M$ Drive. You need to make it look like:

58 54 41 46 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 01

So, the easy way to do this: open your drive with winhex( http://www.x-ways.net/winhex.zip ) by pressing F9, select yournon M$ drive, press <ALT>+G, use position 80000 (hexadec) and then edit these 16 bytes starting at 0x80000 to look like above. Save it, restart the xplorer360 Extreme 2 and the FATX error should be gone and you should see 2 partitions now.

This info came from thespecialist a while back when he discovered what xplorer360 is looking for.  however your drive will not show the contents of partition 3 because xplorer360 cannot read it.  it is not calculating the drive partition correctly without a little modification.  I posted a thread a while back here: http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=699395 for us to work on it but have been unsuccessful.  I can however tell you my progress. I can get the drive detected in xplorer360 and I restored partition 2 successfully thus enabling xbox1 compatibility. Thats about it.  I have been using xextool to transfer all my files back and forth.  

Sorry for bringing up an old post just realized no one had mentioned what the real reason was for this.

what about MU?

[Antman1]

does the mem unit show ok on the 360?  Are you using vista or windows v7?  if so make sure to run xplorer360 in administrator mode.
