    yeah i did that, but it still says that it doesnt read any XboxHDD, FatXexplorer says i need an F:\ drive(?),, and Xplorer360 says "could not find a FatX drive to open".

    Do not remove IDE cable from xbox hdd untill you see microsoft logo appear under XBOX. if you remove to early, the xbox hdd is not unlock yet.

    when you connect xbox hdd to pc, then hit a Space key to continue to boot pc. It should boot like normal.

    Primary IDE connects to PC hdd and 1 DVD drive (optional)

    Secondary IDE ONLY connects to xbox hdd. NO DVD drive. Make sure xbox hdd jumper set to master or Cable Select.

    Look on PC motherboard. The IDE cable connects to pc hdd and connects to motherboard. That IDE port is Primary IDE.

    The other IDE port is Secondary. It is just next to the Primary IDE

    when you can access to xbox hdd, back up everything to PC first before doing anything.

    well this sucks,, my HDD on my PC doesnt have enough space to backup the files..

    i know that my problem might be the parental control, can i change it while in Xplorer360?
