Sounds like I'm not the only one... I've backed up my XBOX HD(Version1.0) and that worked fine and dandy, but I cannot explore the contents of the drive with HDDriver or FatXPlorer... nothing is working for me... i need some help!!!

[Zerografx]

ok so meny people with this problem. is it fixable or is there a alternative solution to edit the contents of either the accucal hd or a image of v1.0 xbox?

Scuse but if it's possible to soft mod the xbox, how the others can do it if there are so many problems? I do everything right, hotswap and stuff but when I have to use hdd_driver it opens giving the endless error but i can still backup and restore the hd, but i need to do modifies inside the directories! And it shows nothing. I've tried also FatXplorer but it finds the hd and then closes up without saying anything. Ah, and on a guide to the softmod i've read thet hdd_driver have to find the hd of the xbox on physicaldrive 2, but when i openit it founds it on physicaldrive 1. There  are no difference? Answer me please!

Try

-Disable Auto Detection for the Primairy Master HD (also explained as setting IDE0/HDA to “NONE”)
-Disable S.M.A.R.T. monitoring

Hotswap when xboxhdm has already loaded. If xboxhdm errors out.. the HD is still locked and thus YOU didn't hotswap right. Dont blame ur mobo so soon.

anyone have a prob like this.

xbox crashed, needed to replace a file on hdd.  hooked to pc and del file and upped the proper file.  fix went as planned and works fine but my dash and apps cant read f partition anymore.  drive is still full i can see the free file space indicating my data is still on there.  but nothing shows when brousing f drive.

if any know fixes are out there could someone point me in the right direction.  thx

I tried both links and could not get them to open the zip file.  I am running Windows 7, which is a newer OS than XP or Vista.  Does it work with XP?  I am trying to copy my hard drive files from a disc to my new x-box replacement HDD.  I can't use HDD_Driver, because I did not use that program to backup my files.  I formatted my xbox drive and now run xp on that drive.  I got my replacement setup as primary slave, and my old xbox drive running xp is primary master.
So I have my files backed up on another computer's hard drive, and also on a dvd-rom.  I figured I could just copy and paste my files to the drive but obviously My Computer does not recognize the X-Box replacement drive because I hex edited it and prepared the drive to act like an x-box drive.  Now I just need to copy my files from DVD disc to the new HDD.  

Does this program do this in XP, is it capable of copying DVD-ROM backup files to my new hard drive?  I can't use HDD-Driver because I don't have an image file it wants I just have the folders on a disc (xbox C,E,X,Y,Z).

This thread is early three years old - maye that's why the links don't work.....

Use Xplorer360 beta 6 to read and write FATX drives from your PC.

Thanks I downloaded that just now, thanks for that advice.  I'll try this out.  Do you know if I am able to copy files from DVD-ROM disc to the HD without an image file?

--Oh ok I see images and I'm reading about this program.  From what I see here you can insert files onto the drive.  This is awesome information and I can't believe I haven't stumbled into this earlier because I've been looking for a few days now.  I was reading about hdd_driver and xboxhdm (linux) but couldn't get either one to do what I needed done, and this new software is just amazing.  I can't wait to try it out!  I'm burning it onto a disc with my other xbox tools so I can try to fix it on my "old closet pc."  The reason I drag out the old machine is because the old mobo has two ATA sockets and my new board has more SATA and only 1 ATA input, and for some reason all the hard drive swapping on my new computer, windows recognized and asked me what's going on and locked me out of my computer.... requiring me to run another partitions' OS, to repair my original XP which was messed up from swapping all the hard drives:  The current hard drive, the old one, the xbox, the new xbox drive... then it started acting funny!  So I don't recommend to anybody reading this forum, that you use your reliable machine to swap Xbox drives.
