    360 S 250Gb harddrive malfunction


    Hi all, I have a Xbox 360S with a 250Gb harddrive. Yesterday while playing watchdogs I had a power outage. After that when starting up my Xbox, it took longer than usual to boot and all my profiles, games , everything was gone. When going to storage in
    settings, I noticed that there is only 103Gb free, meaning the data is not lost. It is unaccesible. I tried removing the drive and reinserting it, hoping that might help. No effect. I havent been online in quit some time because I don't have a home Internet
    connection since last year so I lost all my achievements, saves an everything. I saw a regular SATA connection on the drive. Is there a tool to recover this data? I have been googling like a madman and found all kinds of sites and forums that had possible
    solutions, but all of them were in conflict with terms of usage as far as I could see. So my question here is whether there is a solution that Xbox can give for this problem? Thanks. David

    :)

    Hard drive compatible with the Xbox 360 (Battlefield 3 related)

    [quote user="joesatch1"]Mmmm ok... does it have to be internal?[/quote]For the 360 S? Yes. There's a trap door on the bottom/side of the console. The HDD goes in a slot behind the trap door.
    That's not a legitimate HDD for the 360. It's a third party knock off.



    This
    250GB drive
    , sold by Amazon, is legitimate.



    This
    320GB drive
    , sold by Amazon, is also legitimate.

    360 S 250Gb harddrive malfunction

    Hi there,

    I'm afraid that as far as I know there isn't any solution other to the one you already tried, which is removing and reinstalling the hard drive...

    Aw man.

    That is really bad. Is there no tool like chkdsk or something for Xbox drives?

    There has to be. I'm sure I am not the first with this problem.

  6. DaVaKa NL hey there 360 S 250Gb harddrive malfunction :)

    To back up what WPAK has said, there really isn't anything else you can do to salvage the drive. Not any that fall within the Terms of Use / Code of Conduct anyway. Opening the drive to use 3rd party tools can result in action being taken on your account
    or console as it may be deemed as system tampering.

    Many thanks,

    old xbox games update

    @ Dead1yDipStick I am sorry but there is no 120gb harddrive for the 4gb xbox 360 slim, I have the console and the only harddrives you can use in them is the 250gb or 320gb harddrives that are made for the xbox 360 slim console. I have also been on that site
    and the harddrives on there are not official ones as microsoft never made a 60gb or 120gb harddrive for the xbox 360 slim.
