i actually stripped it too it core lol, seen all that stuff already, the drive is a sata drive, how much you buy the chord? you can buy the chord for like 2-3 buck i think...and the power supply for another 3 bucks...which isnt bad, jes comp. parts, but newais, you cant really do much with the hdd connected to your computer "yet" lol, so far if you do, you jes get files and folders that dont make sense...i think its not nfts format..but yeah, hopefully you find out to put vid on the hdd

your pc wont do much browsing files.
so there is a program called: 360 explorer (something like dat)
and it makes sense there. u can add video and songs more quickly. drag and drop so thats an advantage.

In short, no, you can't save any video onto xbox 360 HDD from computer or DVD. Not even with Xplorer 360.
In longer explanation, you can't save anything onto xbox 360 HDD because all files on Xbox 360 HDD are required to be "Digitally signed". Since all of our files are not "digitally signed", Xbox 360 HDD wont acknowledge those at all.
Even the movies you download from Xbox live are digitally signed!
To *Agent47*
Sorry to disappoint you but I have done the same thing with you - i got a cable connecting between HDD and my PC successfully - it wont accept any files from your PC because your files on PC are not "digitially signed" thus Xbox 360 wont accept it.
I would be surprised if you manage to crack this "digital signed" problem as you are the first person to do so in whole (cyber) world of Xbox 360 community. As we speak, many people in X360 communities are still working on this problem.
Nevertheless, let us know how you doing with your new cable :D

for ur kind information i know videos need to be digitally signed.
and i got the cable, i connected the hdd to my pc.
i used xplorer 360 to browse the files. the first thing i done was copy all my music to the HDD which is much faster on the pc.
videos could not be uploaded obviously because they were not digitally signed. although i figured out how to upload music and pictures.
i had a full 7 hours at school thinking about my xbox 360 at home!!!
before i could even give thought to the video thingy i looked at the connector which connect the HDD to the xbox.
if i find a 2.5" HDD and use a cable to connect the xbox connector and than push the empty case onto the xbox with the bigger HDD on top it shall work.
it will just have to be formatted correctly. :D :D :D
-----
anyway, i cant wait for the ps3 to come out, than i wont have to waste shitty time to work out how to play videos on the shitty 360.
ps3 is gonna be much better, even though xbox maybe better in technical specs but games and features will be better. the longer they take to release the better it will be! :D :D :D

Hi *Agent47*,
That's great to hear that you successfully upload mp3 onto HDD.
But did you play those successfully on Xbox 360?
I have uploaded mine but it reads as corrupted file, or wont appear at all at Xbox 360 dashboard.
Apparently, you need to re-write media.xmi to include all your mp3, so that Xbox 360 will read those successfully and play those successfully.
Otherwise, it wont read and play your mp3 on HDD if you haven't modified media.xmi first. I have tried it but not working. Plus lots of people told me that they have tried similar thing but not working.
Just a pain in backside if you ask me. I have got huge mp3 collection and I am not going to "rip" my many cds to Xbox 360 HDD again, just because Microsoft's arrogant assumption that everyone's MP3 collection are totally illegal!
If you dont mind, care to share your tips for uploading and playing mp3 onto Xbox 360 HDD successfully from PC via cable?
On the other note, I agreed with you about PS3. I can't wait for it. I am really looking forward to get it later this year as i know it is better than Xbox 360 because of one most crucial important key.... That Playstation is far more flexbile about how you use it ie. I can use Mpeg 2 films on cd-r on ps2 successfully unlike xbox 360!
In fact, I am considering at this moment whether to sell off my xbox 360 or not, despite of the fact that I only got it 3 weeks ago. Waste of money I agree but I'm lucky cos I got it for free as I won it at office quiz game! lol :D At least I know that I will be more happy with extra cash that i made by selling xbox 360. Extra cash serve me very well, much better than xbox 360 itself! lol
To people whom considers about buying Xbox 360 - DONT BUY IT! Wait for PS3's release first so you can see how good PS3 is, comparing to crap Xbox 360!
Microsoft ought to re-name itself to more approriate name.... Mega-s**t! hmm. it sounds similar as microsoft lol!!!
Cheers,
Diego

Nope - the people are working hard at this (to use xplorer to put videos on Xbox 360 HDD) as we speak - it is just that all files on
Xbox 360 HDD are required to be "digitally signed" and must be placed in special container known as "PIRS". I don't know what this container is but I assume it is just another type of Security that Micrsoft comes up with for Xbox 360. Perhaps Microsoft is not happy with the public keep hacking Xbox in last few years.
It is just a matter of time before anyone come up with a solution that will allow us to bypass security placed on Xbox 360 HDD. In other words, a solution that will allow us to play video, porn, pics, mp3 or whatever on Xbox 360 succesfully :D
So, again, as I say before, at the moment, it is not possible for us to put video/music onto Xbox 360 via Xplorer.
Cheers,
Diego

Cheer up, fellow British *agent47*,
Sony PS3 will come with 60 GB hard disc (as standard) - unlike MS's stupid packages for X360! (MS's whole purpose for two packages is just ripping off people by keep confusing people with these packages by forcing them to pay "premium" price for basic package!).
And not only that, but as you say earelier, Sony will come with memory reader (i.e. memory stick and so on).
CAn't wait for PS3 to come out and finally, i can upload mp3, porn, pics, films onto PS3 HDD directly from memory stick!
Microsoft, take a note about how professionals at Sony have done a proper gaming business especially Hard drive disc bits.
Ah well, it doesn't matter anyway, as I sold 4 weeks old xbox 360 (premium) already as I have fed up with it as i have no control over my own choice of media files on Xbox 360 HDD
Cheers,
Diego

thats great news!!!
the only reason i am keeping my xbox 360 is because of the graphics. the other features which i was excited about such as media capibilites are not actually as gud as i thought.
60gb hard-drive will be excellent on the ps3.
this is the part where xbox create an excellent piece of technology with excellent features but do something stupid like unable to upload music, videos etc.
hopefully the ps3 will not have protection like that! i hope not!

I would imagine that the price of PS3 is similar to Xbox 360's price (premium version/package).
But at least, at that price, you get much more features out of Sony PS3 than Xbox 360.
So, as usual, Sony may be expensive but it is excellent value for its money - it is just my opinion that's all.
I bought both PS1 and PS2 when they first released - the price were a bit "over the top" comparing to other games console but I don't care cos, it is 5 years so far, and I haven't got any breakdown from both of them unlike my other game consoles!
Quality rules!
Hope that helps, dejahboi
PS I am so itched to count down the number of days when Sony releases PS3 globally!
