No, at least I don't see how you would do it. Your C and E drive on your Xbox contain the "operating" system so to speak. You can't just put it in your computer and see it. Also, you can't get rid of those files and have it work on your Xbox again. To the best of my knowledge, you would have to format the HD to get it to read on your PC. Onviously not when using XboxHDM, but this isn't the case. Why don't you just FTP everything to your computer?

 

If you have the eeprom to unlock the drive you can then hook it up to your computer and use the program "xplorer 360" to read the fatx partition and gain access to your hard drive.

Just search afterdawn there's a tutorial how to use xplorer 360

 

Why I always use the words "to the best of my knowledge", someone usually knows more. I will be sure to set that up when I get my Xbox back from you know who

 

Haha absolutely why I waited 2 days before I replied. Figured no one replying would force you to search it yourself, at least someone with adequate deductive reasoning. Still, questions are welcomed here. And they will be answered, bluntly.

 

Oh yeah.. when it comes to a 4 year obsolete discontinued console is RTFM too strong? Llamma had a competition to find ways to force unlock hdd's.. manufacturers give away tools.. they always low level format.. to stop people nicking the info... now heres a twats trick.. replace the eeprom on the hdd with one from an unlocked drive with the same geometry.. or flash the one on the drive with stock data copied from an unlocked one.. or even directly hex edit the lock code out.. bingo.. now ask how to do that.. dare you.. because if people search and read with a brain they will see exactly how to do all of this.....it's all on afterdawn.. in one topic or another.

Now I'm off to shoot myself because I gave away a huge secret...
