C64MidRezzie Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 I have a Lenovo PC - It’s a Sata motherboard - anyone had any joy using a SATA to IDE connector along with HDM v 1.9 - only asking coz my Dell OptiPlex takes up a lot of real estate and my Lenovo is much tidier - thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 XboxHDM v1.9 requires native IDE ports on the PC, not SATA. XboxHDM23USB Beta 2 or Beta 3's batch files can be modified to access the Xbox hard drive connected to a PC's SATA port. Warning: Be careful to not select and format your computer's operating system drive. The original design prevents a user from making a horrible mistake. It requires the hard drive to be connected to the PC with a USB-to-hard drive interface adapter be it IDE, SATA or a combination of both.

Thanks for this - could I use HDM23USB Beta 2 or 3 if I mount a second hard drive that I intend to use in the xbox inside the computer as I don't have an external usb enclosure for a 3.5 SATA drive? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Yes. After modifying the batch files, the Xbox hard drive can be connected to one of the PC's internal SATA ports. Or, without any batch file modifications if you have a USB-to-hard drive adapter, as long as you have power to the hard drive and it is connected to the adapter and the adapter connected via one of the PC's USB ports that works too.

Brill - I have a usb to IDE connector so I could install the drive in the bay and connect the pc power to the drive and then just leave the case open and attach the usb to IDE cable - am I right - going to try it late.

KaosEngineer Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Yes, running XboxHDM23USB Beta 2 or 3, not XboxHDM v1.9. Which USB-to-IDE adapter is it? What is the vendorID:productID value for the adapter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
