Also, what size is my HDD? It says 16,383 CYL - 16 HDS - 63 SECT - LBA 20,005,650. If that info is not used in finding the size, could someone please tell me what i should be looking at?

If it came with the xbox (stock) then it's 10GB.
EDIT: I prefer Seagate for quietness and now you can unlock them without the password (I think...) something like that.
And I also like Western Digital for the ammount of time they last/dependibility

I read more complains from the newer Seagates, ones with a white labels on entire top. If you ask me, I think WDC is more reliable but more noise.

I like the WD drives because they're the easiest to put a window in, but they do not have the extra 2 gigs to format like the seagetes (the older ones with the black rubber thing and the white label ones). Also, the white label seagates are a lot thinner then the other two so they're the best for a slim xbox project or a dual HDD thing. I've never opened the white label seagate but I have opened the older one and the WD and the WD was much better quality. Also the WD only uses the bottom side of the platter so it's a little bit less risk to open one to put a window in it.
