Ok well this is how mine is...

there 2 slots on the motherboard - both where taken
- one for the pc's hardrive
- one for the cd-rom

so i took out both wires (IDE i think its called and one with a few colors

i then plugged the IDE wire from the Pcs hardrive into the xboxs harddrive

and then kept the other the same (in the pc's cd-rom drive)

i just unpluged the cable from the xbox and used the one i already had plugged in.so unplug the one connected to your xbox hdd and plug the one from your motherboard

yeh thats how mine is.

so i guess its something else that is stopping the program from finding the hardrive?

any idea?

the only thing i can think of is if you are suppose to change the bios?
because i cant get in there

Sry please hang in there once i get it to recognise im sure it will be smooth sailing
