Jeks = MY HERO!  
Your tutorial saved my day. Works like a miracle.

A note: I formatted all the partitions, yes, ALL of them. As long as the Evox FTP Server is up, you can do anything with the disk, so just to be sure to have everything OK, i ran the commands in FlashFXP:

( 663C0252,B5EFD182 etc are the responses of the Formatpath command)

Formatpath DeviceHarddisk0Partition6
FormatDrive 663C0252
Formatpath DeviceHarddisk0Partition5
FormatDrive B5EFD182
Formatpath DeviceHarddisk0Partition4
FormatDrive D48EB0E2
Formatpath DeviceHarddisk0Partition3
FormatDrive 3E645A0F
Formatpath DeviceHarddisk0Partition2
FormatDrive 23794713
Formatpath DeviceHarddisk0Partition1
FormatDrive F3A997C0

Then I upload a full backup i had in my PC of C,E,,F,X,Y,Z , et voilá !!!

Unknown Dragon:
In Winhex Go to: Options/General and check "Hexadecimal Offsets", then Select from the menu "Position/Go To Offset" and enter "600, en the first 4 spaces of the data type BRFR.

Click save, respond YES to the 2 warnings, exit Winhex, and then open hddriver...
Good Luck !!  

 This one´s for Jek !!

What format dose the hard drive have to be? Cause I tried hex with an ntfs formated drive and then loaded hdd driver and it says no xbox hard drive found. I tried a unformated hard drive and running xhdprepa setting it on zeroing only 1st 4096 and then load hdd driver and still no go.

Mine had 2 Fat32 Partitions.... I just edited the disk, NOT the volumes (you select from Winhex), i didn´t re-formatted nor repartitioning, hddriver recognized directly.

[UnknownDragon]

Do i have put the new hard drive on primary ide cable and set the jumper setting on master?

Just be sure that Windows recognize it in Device Manager (appers under "Disk Drives"). Mine was on the 2nd controller as Master without any other device in that controller.
In the First Controller was my win2000 disk.
