just ordered this drive, when I get it how do I go about loading partition 2 on the new drive?

Don't know what partition 2 is. If it's a game it will prompt u when u load the disk. Easy to install hard drive just fins the door open it and push it in

The old hard drives will work on the new ones all you have to do is take them apart and they work fine it's what I did till I ordered my 500 it's easy to just data transfer all your stuff to new drive then license transfer it

I know nothing about partitioning an Xbox 360 hard drive. As far as I know it can't be done. If u are looking to play original Xbox games on ur 360 justpop in the disc and start playing.

,I'm not really familiar with partitions on an Xbox, Im a computer tech lol I will say this, it's as easy as plugging it in, automatically comes up as a second drive if that's what your asking :) works beautifully too, the easiest plug n play :)

There is a opening in the xbox 360. It's on the side of the 360. There is videos on YouTube. That's what I did to put in my. Plus this hard drive only works on xbox 360's that are the black 4gb's. If you have the 250gb xbox 360 it won't work

The first thing I did with mine was to swap in a SSD, so similar situation with a new blank drive. The Windows 8 activation is in the hardware so just get a copy of the Windows 8 installer (friend's disc or download the ISO and burn a disc or USB from another computer). Once installed you'll have to use the hard-line Ethernet to update Windows (WiFi won't be working at this point). Once all the Windows Updates are done put in the model number on Asus's support site for the rest of the software and drivers. Then run Windows Update one more time just in case. At least that's how I spent my first Saturday with mine. The first thing I did with mine was to swap in a SSD, so similar situation with a new blank drive.

Use the USB and a USB external hard drive. WD has one with 2TB I picked up during Black Friday sales.

im not sure. the way i figured it out was watching youtube videos. i know there is an easy way to tell which drive you need, but i can't remember. good luck. also i know that the is a piece of the old drive you will need to unsolder from the original and solder into the new unit.

Exchange the drive for a new one ? The one you have is obviously bad....good luck

Mmm ,,, What install/set Bios?? ... I put mine in and the system recognized it as drive g: and Done. Could be a bad drive as Andre says ... Try formating. My Sys is Win7/63bit HP Elite. If your replacing C: then use the transfer program from WD Free and works great.

If you're replacing a drive, it should boot to it. Best way to find out-try it. if it doesn't boot, go into bios and make necessary change. You can always use F8 key to select boot device too.

probably if you can get it work at all! Every restart I did resulted in it loosing the date and needing reformat (that was two new drives! both same problem).
1224871
I'm honestly not sure, as I immediately formatted the drive when I got it. Sorry!

in the paper that comes with the drive it directs you to seesupport.wdc.com --> knowledge base article #287The 2TB version I just bought was pre-formatted for NTFS (which Disk Utility recognized just fine...I reformatted for Mac just for the better file system)

Physically you will need a 2.5 to 3.5 mounting adapter and a SATA connection. I personally recommend installing the OS from scratch and then copying the data over from the old drive. If that is not practical then use Ghost, Acrounis or other imaging software. If you do image then there are a number of important setting adjustments that need to be made that are beyond the scope of this reply that can be found at http://thessdreview.com/ under Guides.

I had the same problem with this drive. If you have a hard drive format cd from another drive, you may have to use it. I had to end up using a Linux Mint disk, format the drive through gparted, reboot, reinstall the partition table, and format it again.

The drive should be compatible with your laptop. Hopefully, your existing drive isn't totally gone and you have the means to transfer your existing info to the new drive.

You'll need to be more specific in order to get a valid answer, but here is an answer based on the info on your question: Maybe. If it's a standard SATA drive with no encryption then you should be able to get the info. Is something wrong with the new drive?

I saw this issue with my 4TB drive, but not the 2 - drag out an old copy of OS X like Mountain Lion, or earlier. Boot from the CD and use Disc Utilities to initialize the drive, then reboot normally and you should be good. This was a bug for large drives - but in my experience it did not apply to 2TB

I'm not sure. That might be needed. I still haven't been able to get mine to work in either drive yet.

I just added an SSD in the m2 slot and used imaging software to clone the drive. In my experience with Windows 8, it actually stores the Windows 8 key in the BIOS, so it will install with the correct key by itself (only with computers shipped with Windows 8).
