If I recall correctly, the formatting of the drive is not what is critical to make the drive readable to your 360.
I believe that the console reads the model, part number and/or serial number of the drive and if it does not match drives that were factory-designated for the 360, it won't read them.
I heard that a long time back and I don't recall the veracity of the source, but I am aware that people who have just tried to "slap in" a 2.5" SATA drive have failed.

Yeah, that's what I've found. There are some tools of, well, dubious legitimacy that modify the security partition of a drive to allow them to work. This is what I'm looking for, as all the current tutorials link to dead sites or Megaupload. MS doesn't seem to mind (no ones been banned for simply installing their own drive) which is why I'm considering this option.

[quote]MS doesn't seem to mind (no ones been banned for simply installing their own drive) which is why I'm considering this option.[/quote] Maybe times have changed. But I do recall people getting their console and all gamertags on that console banned from live when they attempted to use an non-MS drive for storage. That was (less so now) a large amount of money to put at risk for the amount you were saving. Now that the consoles are cheaper and drives are really cheap? Maybe so. Me, I just buy 32 GB thumb drives and use them as "disk-to cartridge save media". Which fit my needs nicely. I'd have loved for them to allow "save to Windows Home Server", but that never happened either.

Edited by The Epic Jakwak: 2/21/2013 5:45:37 PMWell thanks then. I was worried about bans, and most of the sites said they hadn't been, but that was 2010. I just wish they still sold it themselves, I would have bought it immediately. Frustrating to see this kind of tactic for trying to get me to buy a slim with next-gens coming up and a perfectly functioning Xbox.
