Jtag HDD questions

[Rulp 0]

I just got my new Jtag slim ( using freestyle 3) the other day and I am very excited to dive into the scene. But first I have to solve a problem. I did not get a HDD with the new xbox and I don't have a spare for it at the moment. But I do have my old 120 gig HDD from my old xbox and a transfer cable. I essentially was trying to use it as a external HDD, and to some degree that worked. I ran a few titles and it all seemed fine. But then I tried to set a game path and that's where the problems started. I set the path to a folder in the root called Games. But when I saved the path, it also saved other paths (ex: onboardMU\Games) and it could not find my games. On top of that it will not let me delete these paths. I concluded the problem must stem from the fact that the xbox HDD has not been formatted at all, it is using whatever file system a normal xbox uses. Now I am wondering if I can use my pc and transfer cable to format the HDD to FAT32 and basically use it as a external HDD for my xbox. I have read that formatting can cap the HDD of at 16 gigs, but my main concern is if the xbox will recognize a FAT32 HDD through the transfer cable?

Firstly there is no such thing as a JTAG'd slim, you have an RGH.

Secondly you should always check out the tutorials section before posting a question, I think this would be a much better solution for you

Thanks for the response. I don't really know much about the actual methods used to "hack" a xbox, but I am fresh off the original xbox scene so all the things I encountered so far make sense. Thanks for correcting me. I already knew about removing the hard drive from it's case and putting it in the xbox, but I don't have the specific tools to do that right now. I guess I will refer to the TUTs, but I doubt I will find the info I need. If someone just happens to know if I can format my 120 gig xbox hard drive to FAT32 through the transfer cable and then use the hard drive with said transfer cable as an external hard drive on my xbox, please let me know.

Yes if you format to fat32 it should work just fine as an external.

Hmm I don't have much experience with external hard drives but from my understanding, shouldn't there be an option in the settings to format the hard drive? Also one question, I do not quite understand what you mean by a transfer cable? do u mean an usb cable?

Use a sata to USB adapter. Download fat32formatter( just Google it).

Thank you all for the responses. @HereShomethindGoes I am talking about the official xbox 360 transfer cable http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003S9WJ9A/. It is strange because when hooked up to my xbox, the hard drive is recognized as "Trasfercable" and "TransfercableXbox1". When I hook it up to my computer, it does not recognize it because it is not initialized. I know how to get around that. Anyways I think I am just going to get the tools and remove the hard drive form it's case. Thanks for all the help.
