Seagate ST9320325AS xbox360 hdd

October 17th, 2016, 1:50

hi, i've got an xbox360 official hdd.

By mistake i've initialized'it in my computer. I've found on the web that these drives needs to have a security sector who must contain the serial number of the hdd, but unfortunately i've only found security sectors that dont matches my hdd s/n.

I would like to change my hdd s/n to match the s/n in the hddss.bin found on the web.

I tried with an usb to ttl with pl2303 connected to TX RX and GNDon my hdd, power up then ctrl-z but i can't dialog with my hdd.

Does someone ever have this problem?
Appologies for my english, i'm french.

Thanks for helping.

Did you try to use any foreign security sectors on your hdd?

AIUI, the HDSSS.BIN file that is used by HDDHackr is a copy of sectors 16-22. Initialising a drive in MBR mode would not normally touch these sectors, AFAIK.
