Does anyone know if you can use a xbox 360 hard drive on your pc?

I'm going to upgrade my 20gb one to a western digital 250gb and was gonna use the 20gb as a normal pc hard drive... if possible.

Hi div,

I can't imagine why it would be difficult, but like always you never know..
I haven't tried this personally but this is how i would approach it.

i would run xplorer360 and backup everything just to be safe There may even be some newer hdd tools in our homebrew database - http://homebrew.360-hq.com

I would have thought you would just format it for your OS once you could get it recognized by your PC with some homebrew tools.

Here is a link to a tutorial which i have written for the site which may help you.. I have done some research and a few people have used this method and it works just great..

Format An Original Xbox 360 Hard Drive For Use In A Pc

hope that helps get you started mate, no doubt you are probably already thinking about doing it this way.

let us know how you go,

cheers,

Cheers for the tut, worked a charm.

Put a western digital 250gb drive in my xbox 360 (no more noisy dvd drive) and bought a 2.5" caddy for the 20gb xbox hard drive, pucka!
