So a few weeks ago my x360 had a little hdd upgrade from 60gb to 250gb, and now that the 60 gb isn't used anymore, thought I should plug that in my pc and use it there (also have a laptop that has a fried drive so i could use it with that as well). Problem is explorer can't see the damn thing and I know that for the hacked drive, when you hack it for x360, you get some backup files so it can be usable in windows again but this being the x360 original drive, i have no such file.
So how do i make this 60gb original x360 drive(it think it's hitachi) work? Can I format it (partition magic/win setup/etc) or will i just break it => it can only be used on a x360 console?

nah dude destroy the partition or format it and it will be useable. you may have to use something besides parition magic though. at the absolute worst old school fdisk should get it heh. but yea it's still useable.

fdisk won't Sad It's not low level enough and will completely ignore FATX.

This tutorial will work.

The after-boot WinXP setup did it for me. Format it again in win 7 explorer and HDD works fine so far.
