I just got a new hard drive. My original one broke so i now have a 3.2 gig fujitsu model:MPC3032AT. Every time i put it in i get error code 7 or 9. The connection is good also(everything plugged in properly). Is this problem because there is no data on it? Is it possible to format it on my PC and the error codes will go away? thanks in advance.

you have to have a modchip to just stick it in the xbox or you have to use a program called XboxHDM to format it for use with an xbox, i hope you have a backup of everything or else your going to have to get a modchip and get an autoinstaller disc

I have a hard-mod and 2 auto installer discs. I could just use the auto installer discs to put everything i need onto the hard drive but i keep getting error code 7 and 9.

use xboxhdm to format your hdd it is a linux based program that you boot of a burned cd..autoformats your hdd for you based on the files you include in it..look for a tutoral on xbox-scene on how to use it

though you should be able to boot of slayers autoinstall cd and format the drive using that

well i think that your best method then would be to use xboxhdm to format and lock it (if you have your epromm)

3.2 gig isn't nearly big enough. you need at the very least 7 gigs or so.
both errors 7 and 9 tell you this
read this
http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/errorcodes.php

you can pick up a 20 gig drive for less than $20 if you go to a local computer shop and buy it used. or you can drop like $80 or so and grab yourself a really big drive.
but the one you have isn't nearly big enough

you still need space for the 5 partitions it creates.
I think it's like 500MB for C:\
I know it's 750MB or so for each X:\ Y:\ and Z:\ and then you need something for E:\ which houses all your game saves and all that.

(750x3)+500= 2750MB + whatever the minimum for E:\ is.
basically what I'm saying is a 3 gig drive isn't big enough, that is what is causing your 7 and 9 errors.

also I've heard about the xbox not accepting certain hard drives. I know for a fact seagate and maxtor drives work.
