We've seen a few questions in regards to how to do this so here we go. What this tutorial will do is show you how to dump the hddss.bin file from a legitimate 120GB 360 drive and flash it to a replacement drive costing must less that the official one. Here are the things you will need.
1. A computer that can boot to DOS. You can use an iprep flash drive, a floppy drive thats been formatted and made bootable. This computer must also have a sata controller with an available port. Your boot media must also be writable as well.
2. A tool to connect your 360 HDD to your computer. One of those HDD adapters that you get with a connectivity kit will do fine.
3. hddhckr software available from xbins.
4. A 120GB Western Digital Scorpio BEVS series HDD. The software will only work with this drive.
OK, first thing is to prepare your boot media. Once prepared, copy hddhackr to the boot media. Shut down the computer and boot to your boot media. Connect up your original HDD. Make sure it is the only sata device that is connected. At the DOS prompt type "hddhackr -d" without the quotes and hit enter. This will create a file called "hddss.bin". It will be saved in the same path that you ran hddhackr from.
Now that you have your hddss.bin from your original 120GB drive, it's now time to flash it to your WD BEVS drive. So turn off the computer and connect the BEVS and then boot it back up with your boot media. Make sure that your at the patch to where you can run hddhackr from and type "hddhackr -f" without the quotes and hit enter. This will flash the BEVS with the firmware from your original 360 HDD and will create a file called "undo.bin" incase you want to restore the drive for use with a PC later down the road.
Now you just need to check to see if it worked. Shut down and then restart with the BEVS still attached and boot to your boot media. At the prompt type int "hddhackr -f" without the quotes and hit enter. It shoudl tell you that the drive should work in your 360. If so, connect it to your 360 and go to your dashboard/system/memory where you shoudl be able to format the drive.
Not a lot of people do this so support is limited. I myself have only messed around with it in a very limited environment so support maybe very limited if you do have questions. We will (for obvious reasons) not offer any support if you have downloaded an illegal hddss.bin and trying to use that. That is the same thing as piracy, which we do not condone.
