A 250GB hard drive should not destroy my wallet, Microsoft. Storage space, especially on HDDs, is cheap.

The only thing that makes a 360 HDD unique from others is a special secure file system and sector, so we can essentially hack other hard drives to do the same thing. In this, let's go over how we can hack a cheap alternative hard drive to work with our Xbox 360s. Warning.

Everything in the tutorial worked like a charm. However, there is a step missing (it could be my computer that caused it). In step 3, after I selected usb, I was given a c: prompt but nothing else.

You may want to check into this.
At any rate, I was able to get 228gb more hdd space than the 4gb I had. Thank you very much!
