I am trying to use a 250 GB 7200 RPM Segate Model# ST3250620A in my Xbox but it returns error 13 when used in the xbox after installing ndure.

Some history on the drive, it was given to me used as a storage drive from a Windows 7 pc. I formated it using Ubuntu because Windows 7 would not allow me to format it as FAT. I then used it as a secondary drive in Windows 98 for several months. I did not try to do anything to it to get around the 137 GB limit. Then I decided to upgrade my Xbox from a 160 GB to the 250 GB.

The 160 GB drive was done using Ndure 3.1 with xboxhdm 1.9 following this tutorial and it worked perfectly. I attempted this same procedure with the 250 GB drive, but it did not work.

I then tried to look up issues with this drive in particular and find that it is  supposed to work well. I did find a post saying that Segate Drives have a DDO. After some research I found that DDO is supposed to make HDD's support OS's that don't work with drives over 137 GB. I attempted to remove any instance of DDO on the drive by following a link in this post to an old copy of Segate DiscWizard software. I put the software on floppy and ran it but the option to remove DDO was unaccessible. I did the quick zero-fill mentioned in the post above the one with the link and repeated the HDD creation steps, but it didn't help.

I then went on to find this set of posts by ldotsfan to setup the drive in Windows. So I did most of the steps but I copied the files from the working 160 GB drive rather than creating new ones. After that it still returned error 13.

I am out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated.

Info:
