Here's my predicament:

My Xbox 360 HDD no longer registers with my system properly. When I boot up the system it takes longer than usual to boot to the dashboard. My hard drive does not register properly - in the system menu it is noted as "Unformatted".

I really badly do not want to format without backing up my data / saves. I have a 360 HDD to SATA interface cable on order so I can backup my files to my computer, but I don't even know if it will work...

Any help or advice to recover my drive? I have the option to format the drive from the 360, but again, I don't want to do that without backing up my data first.
