Title: I Overwrote My Hdd With A Memory Card Image With Xplorer360 0.9
Post by: dodgey9 on March 27, 2009, 01:50:00 AM

Firstly while I acknowldged I screwed up here not only in what I did but not figuring out there are newer versions, its still pretty surprising this day in age a program would hose a drive like this without asking if you're sure you want to do it first.  I'm assuming with some stuff I've seen about undo's that the newer versions might work more like say partition magic where you setup changes then have to apply them.

Anyway there is nothing like ontrack recovery or getdataback for 360 drives that I can find other than a few mentions of using a hex editor but I'm sure thats pretty complicated.  It would be nice if I could get like 1 save (a madden 09 franchise in 2022) but I understand it may not be possible --- or very easy to do anyway I kinda know its techincally possible because the data isn't overwritten but, thats very technical.

None the less I'm wondering if its even possible to get the drive visible by xbox again.  I've seen this stuff with hddhackr about a file in sector 16.  That sounds like its data below the partition table but ... I guess I figured if it was usable the 360 would see a messed up drive and offer to reformat it.  Basically, what are my options for getting the 360 to see it if there even are any.

thanks.

In case is wasn't clear, I was looking for help or suggestions.

So far the only thing I've manage to find on my own is this testdisk utility that is supposed to rebuild xbox1 partitions. --- and a vague reference to using a hex editor to copy the raw data off the drive.

I haven't found anything like get databack or ontrack recovery, however.
