Upgraded my tsop xbox with a 2tb hard drive which replaced the 500gb sata drive, I have tried wiping this drive 500gb but windows or Linux refuses to because it doesn't see it correctly, what am I doing wrong, I don't want to brick the drive.

Hi vwboywonder

Try using a partition program to change it from XFAT to NTFS.

Then do a full/Slow Format.

I use AOMEI Partition Assistant but there are plenty others out there.

 

Cheers

Thanks for the help SS_Dave, found the reason why I wasn't able to format the drive, it was locked so put it back in xbox, used config magic to unlock the hard drive then I was able format the drive.

      XBox Hard Drive Swap
      By Matthers
      Hi
      Looks like the power supply of my Xbox has died and was going to swap it with another Xbox a friend gave me, but turns out the hardware got changed somewhere along the lines and it's not do-able to swap the power supplies, so figured i'd just swap the hard drive instead allowing me to keep my games/dashboard etc.  It's been a long time since i soldered the chip on my dead Xbox and the other one i have has a different chip.  Anyway, am getting 06, 13 and 21 errors on the Xbox with the newly installed hard drive.
      Is there anyway to keep my existing files on my original hard drive?   Remember something about the locking key on the Xbox hard drive - do i need to copy this over from the hard drive i removed?  Am looking at downloading the Hexen disc to start off.  Any help would be great.  Thanks
