The hard drive has to be unlocked to gain access to its content. 

ogXbox's lock their hard drive's with a seldom used ATA security feature - a user password - to prevent access to the data stored on them.  And, until unlocked, most of the ATA commands are not allowed to run.

You can unlock the hard drive if you either know the user password for the drive (20 bytes of data for the ogXbox)

Some S.M.A.R.T. data values are displayed in UnleashX's System -> Settings -> Storage page. I have no idea how reliable these values are or how to interpret them into something meaningful:

 

im gonna go out on a limb here and going by your photo, your hdd is somehow overheating. i think it claims its 20 degrees over normal in the temp. category

[Replacement Belt for OgXBox Drive On the Cheap?]

i know im very late to this conversation, but on the topic of 360 drive belts: i have a toshiba/samsung drive in a 1.6b and i can confirm 360 dg16 drives for the phat and slim 360s have a belt that is much too wide to loop around correctly without hanging over. i did find by replacing the og xbox's secondary drive gear, aka the one the belt connects the main drive motor to, with the 360's does yield a correct diameter for the 360's belt, i wasnt able to test if it would open and close correctly, as when i was putting it back together from a completely stripped down state, my screwdriver hit the clip that held down the clip so now if i use the 360 gear with it it just spins up and off its holding. luckily the original gear is fine to use with it, but thats my findings on the matter.
