I am looking for help concerning a problem with HDD after backupping it with xplorer360. Details are in this post: http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=662197

[mcp33pants]

Been trying to back up the files off my 20gb all day - if I make one giant backup file, it tops out at the normal 18.something GB but I cannot open it once I reboot and switch to the 120gb drive. But if I try Extract, I see all these files being 'dumped' but nothing writing to the PC hd. Any suggestions?

[SimplexPL]

I dont know why, but while extract, files are first dumped to a temp directory on C: drive and then copied to the location you specified. Make sure you have enough space on C:

Sometimes the process hangs or loops (i had infinite loop on content folder) so try extracting one (sub)folder at a time.

I'm new to all of this 360 HDD stuff. I'm wanting to upgrade from my 20gb drive to a 120gb drive I have laying around. I can't find instructions anywhere on how to use this program. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Read the tutorials on hddhackr here or just go to the forum and look down a few lines. hddhackr has about 32 pages of info and questions for its latest release.

hi guys,

today I replaced my 20gb with an 120gb hdd, all worked fine but Xplorer360_extreme2 doesnt work for me.

I am using vista 32bit and with the old 20gb all worked fine (when I start Xplorer360 as admin),  but when I start Xplorer360_extreme2 as admin, I can only see Partiton1, Part2 and Part3 are missing.
Whats wrong with it ?

any ideas

[exiled350]

is it possable to recover deleted data from a memory card with this program? The data hasn't been overwriten.

I've been using beta 6 with my 20GB HDD and it's worked great. I got a 120GB drive the other day though and used the "official" transfer kit it came with. Now I can't open partition 3 on the drive (120GB). Any help would be awesome.

[DemonI81]

So yeah, it has nothing to do with the official transfer kit. I can still access all the partitions on my 20GB drive. I guess the code wasn't changed properly to support 120GB HDD's. Wish I had some insight on how to fix it. Hopefully you guys know and are on it.

I did a little analysis of the xplorer360 tool and found a way to make it compatible with my 120 gb BEVS. Here's how to do it in 2 steps:
1) First add the missing partition manually starting at byte 0x80000 of your WD BEVS.  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 your WD BEVS 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 Beta 6 and the FATX error should be gone and you should see 2 partitions now. However, there'll be no data shown yet.
2) To get the data shown, exit xplorer360 and fire up your hexeditor again, but this time open the xplorer360.exe itself with it. Make sure you're using the beta v6 version. At offset 0xF0C2 you'll find:

68 77 03

You need to change these 3 bytes into:
00 C2 1A

Save it (make a backup !), restart it and you can now see the contents of the WD BEVS 120 gb, at least I can

BTW, this 'hack' won't work with the 20 gb version, so it's best to make a backup of the xplorer360.exe and use the 'unhacked' original version if you want to access a 20 gb hdd !

BTW2: There's no guarantee this will work, it worked for me, but it might not work for you. This xplorer360 hack might result in loss of data on your HDD, so make sure you're testing it on a clean WD BEVS and not one which contains a lot of important data

Please give me feedback on results

Hi I've tried the steps but got stumbled when I was going to hexedit the drive.
As I select the drive to be hexedit, an error message appear and I got nothing but zeros in the hexedit display.
When I try to read it using xplorer360 beta 6, I got an error message and when I tried to read it using Xplorer360 extreme 2, only partition 1 showed up.
Can you please tell me what did I did wrong.

Thanks!!!

so, any news on proper 60Gb drive support? can't access partition 3 on those, not with the beta6, nor the modified version thespecialist made.

[LoXodonte]

I too need support for a 60 gig. I just used my bestbuy PRP to swap from my 20 to this 60, and thought I got a good deal until I got home and have had no luck pulling over my Partion 3 folders compatability, and content. Doesn't matter if you use xplorer360 or xport. They both crash about as much and don't allow my profile or memory to be viewable in the dash. sucks  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

[johnnyrico]

Loxodonte, are you connecting your HDD through eSATA? cause that made xport fail to recognize it on my laptop, hooked it up to a conventional SATA port on my desktop and Xport found it.
xplorer360 still didn't work though. but my problem was solved: migrating my xbox1 saves to 360

[LoXodonte]

Hi Johnny, no, I can view the contents of the drive ok, it's jut when transfering stuff into the 60 gig where it gets all messed up. It worked fine before when I regularly edited my 20 gig with Xplorer 360 and Xport360.

As a temporary work around I've used xplorer to transfer files out of my last 20 gig image to a memory card, and then transfered that to my new 60 gig. Of course I'm missing tons of content as I just pulled over a few game saves. Can't blame xplorer360 on this...but xport360 says it supports 60gigs and obviously does NOT. In fact, even on my old 20 gig I used explorer360 because it was far more stable.

[johnnyrico]

weird, my 60 gig worked when hooked up to a native sata controller.
