I have been using the HDDHackr tool V. 1.22 for some time and have had no issues except when users try to play an original XBOX game. Despite having run ALL updates from XBOX Live the console persists in displaying the error that an XBOX 360 HDD must be attached (I read this to mean that the emulator is not being properly loaded from partition 2)

I'm assuming their is no support or explanation for this, but I was hoping someone could provide some specific insight.

you need to copy the backwards compatiblity files to partition 2. I think the newer HHDHACKR creates the partition but you need to check. You can get the files off an original xbox 360 hard drive or search for it on the internet.
you may want to download and install the backward compatibility system update from microsoft. I would only do this if you have games that don't play but are listed as playable on the list of games.

I've done this in the past with no luck. I've used XPlorer 360 to copy the original partition 2 from a known working drive to my desktop (USB-SATA bridge cable) and than copied it out to a new drive, ran the update, and it still wouldn't load the games. Maybe I did something wrong?

Has anyone had luck with this process?

I have. But I also needed to download the BackCompat_11-2007.zip file and extract and burn it to a cd and run it in my XBox 360.
