I've installed a 160 GB Maxtor in my Xbox - shortly after that, my xbox stopped working, so I've scrapped the whole modded xbox idea (so if anyone wants an xecuter 3 chip with solderless adapter, make me an offer) but now I have this 160 GB HD.

This was a fully functional modded xbox at one time. I guess my question is, can this HD now be formatted and used in my PC as a storage drive?

This may be a PC Question, but I figured I'd check with the Xbox experts to see if they knew if a HD formatted for a modded xbox could be formatted and re-used as a normal HD for a computer...

...if I've posted in the wrong forum, please let me know.

Yes it can. I've done that with a 200GB HDD before. It was my replaced as my boot hdd though. Loaded Windows to it via fresh install and it works fine. So yeah, you're not at a total loss. You could probably also use PartitionMagic to do the trick and just change the format to NTFS. Post if you've got issues.

Ok, I know it's been awhile since this post - but I've had issues. Installing the drive, I bent a couple of the pins on the IDE slot, so I just got a new MOBO and installed the hard drive - and I'm having a very strange issue.

Here's the symptoms:

.oO HD recognized in BIOS (as primary slave)
.oO HD recognized in Device Manager
.oO HD NOT recognized in disk management (under control panel> performance and maintenance> admin tools> computer management)
.oO HD NOT recognized in Windows Explorer
.oO Nothing changes after Maxtor format/partition
.oO Maxtor format/partition (when run again) says the drive is still not configured.

PartitionMagic - There's two version - both at 8.0

One of them is put out my Symantec and the other is some no-name brand. I assume you're talking about the Symantec one which is like $70 - and no option for a free trial version.

I don't know if this is going to work for me. Perhaps I should just install a clean copy of Windows on it - once I do that, then format it for just storage?
