hey, i recently tried to uprade my 360's harddrive and i ran into a problem. i formated it with the .bin file for the 120 WD hd then i formatted it on the xbox like your supposed to, after i shut it down and walked away from it for a little bit... thats when my trouble started. i came back unplugged it and plugged it in to my pc, and i didnt feel the disks turning inside so i plugged it back into the xbox and i got a e68 hdd error. should i return the hd to the store or is there a way to fix it. thanks.

P.S. i want to thank commando_lee and sadalius for your guys help before. MANY thanks

If you wouldn't mind walk us through your steps so we can gather enough info to maybe help you.

ya i can.... i connect the 4 wires in a ata cable to he 4 data pins under the mobo where the hdd connection is then i tye together all of the gnd wires and solder them to a gnd. for the sata power i use a 5v connection and a ground... it worked for about 5 minutes and then my xbox froze. any suggestions? i guess i could still take it back to the store....

Well you should've been able to just hook up Sata power and data cables to the replacement hard drive to flash the .bin file to the new drives firmware. Second I'd have to see your power setup to make truly sure nothing was wrong. Are you saying that you tried to make your hdd and internal one?

nevermind... i ended up just returning it to the store. but i think i accidentally blew out the hd. thanks for the replys!

Did you get the new one working?
