alright i have this same problem.

what you have to do is get a belt. (preferably a cloth one)

 

and wrap it around your 360

 

like so - this is my 360. the connection on the 360 through the xSata to the HDD is bad. so this just fixes it for me

okay you need to download Beta 6

http://dwl.xbox-scene.com/xbox360pc/harddr...er360.beta6.rar

 

or try xPlorer360 xTreme 2

THANKS But now i have another problem...

 

I removed the xsata because it wasnt working and plugged in my harddrive normaly, but when i start up the console it isnt recognized as a hardrive anymore! it doesnt even say its plugged in!

 

Does anyone know what i should do now cuz i dont have the money for a new harddrive and well telling my dad i broke his harddrive isnt really something i want to do

if your xSata is plugged into your computer and is on the xbox. your 360 shouldn't find your HDD

 

the computer is now able to access the HDD and not your 360.

 

unplug your cable from your 360 and your 360 will restart. and now your should be able to see your HDD on your 360 now

 

plug it in and you can access your HDD from your computer. and not your 360

[Random1225]

go to xboxsoftmods.org just make a account and download the .map files and if the sites down (which i dont think it is) then Ill upload them.

[beamer30]

I went there signed up and went to the downloads section and there was no map files :?

If you have a 120GB Harddrive then you need to Update Xplorer360!

[bloodyhell94]

cool also when u plug in ur hardrive back to ur xbox 360 ( if u wer using xport) then sometimes u have to like tie tape aroundxbox to make the hard drive stick in good cus the xport can mess up ur hdd's things to make it hold into the xbox

[iKhaosmaster]

if it wont detect both hardrives then theres something wrong with your 360
