![]() ![]() ![]() The problem was that once i restarted the computer the HPA came back and my LBA size was once again changed. ![]() So, to give you an example, my Gigabyte motherboard (ICH9R chipset), changed my LBA: from: 39,070,080 to: 39,067,967 So to change it back i tried using multiple programs to access the HPA and remove it. The HPA affects the LBA size, so the XBOX sees a smaller disk than it originally did, hence why it doesn't recognize it. The reason is, even though your 2nd pc may not create the HPA automatically, the HPA that was initially on the 1st PC is still active. You may have tried to connect that broken HDD to another PC, and use Xplorer360 to do a full image restore on the disk and still fail. This change is enough for your xbox to have a hissy-fit and not want to play nice with the hard drive anymore. ![]() Some motherboards will do this, some won't, hence why some people experience the problem and some don't. A HPA is a protected area of your HDD that the motherboard or hardware vendor can use to store vital data. You see, when you connect your HDD to your PC, your motherboard created a HPA. So here's the answer: The problem is not Xplorer360, lets get that straight right off the bat. There is a tutorial floating around on how to fix this with an original Microsoft data migration cable, however I wasn't going to shell out more money to fix this problem. I couldn't accept how it is possible that some people experience this problem, some don't. I was simply not going to accept that my original HDD, that i just read data off, no longer works on my xbox. I got this rude shock when i tried upgrading from my 20GB HDD to a 120GB HDD. all of a sudden it doesn't recognize the disk. But when you connected your original 20GB HDD back to your xbox. 1 Ok, so if you're reading this you probably connected your original 20GB hdd to your PC, wanting to use Xplorer360 to dump data and probably upgrade to a bigger HDD or add remove some data. ![]()
