Thanks for the reply ragenb, I only just got an Xbox and am new to this, I tried the hotswap today but couldnt get HDD Driver to read my Xbox hdd, the second time I started up my pc and used the pause before hdd drive detection method and waited 25mins instead of 15 for my xbox to unlock, and it worked. The problem though after i came back to see if hdd driver finished backing up my hdd it was still open and the percentage bar had gone, I clicked to close it and my screen went black and my computer restarted, when it loaded up I still had 12.5gig free which is what i had free to begin with, so does that mean there wasnt enough free space to create the backup?
I am running Win2K, I am gonna try again Monday
