Original Xbox HDD's won't work.

Since you have an jTAGged 360, you can just plonk in any generic 2.5 inch SATA HDD.

Boot the console and format it.
Then restore it according to the XeXMenu Live installer link I gave you.

never owned an original xbox, but is it using a normal hdd?

A Original Xbox uses an IDE HDD. While the 360 uses a 2.5 inch Sata.

If you have a USB Hard Drive that's small. Open it out of the enclosure, and it should be 2.5 inches. Open up the 360's HDD enclosure. (The thing that you put on top of the Xbox.) And throw that HDD that was in the USB enclosure into the Xbox 360's HDD enclosure.

You can also use a USB HDD on the JTAG, simply by plugging it into the Xbox. (The USB HDD has to be formatted as FAT32.)

Ok it's an original xbox hdd from that uses the ribbon cable it's in a usb enclosure case but won't show up on pc? Do I have to unlock it or something to format it?

Oh right. I did the same exact thing. Yes, you have to unlock it using the Xbox. (Unleshed X has a option to unlock in the settings.) Or you can unlock it using the PC hotswap trick, which is not recommended as it can kill your disc drive.

u might find a cheaper enclosure on ebay. they're all pretty generic. u can also use two external hdds with a jtag/rgh, so u could buy an external enclosure for the drive u have as well as buying another hdd later. I guess it depends on how many games u want. for an internal hdd, u shouldn't need more than 1TB since that should accommodate all dlc and indie games. xbla, xbox 1 games, 360 games, emulators, and homebrew will work off an external. I'm not sure how that'd factor into ur decision when it comes to hdds, but it may be something to think about. u can also buy normal 360 hdd enclosures for a few dollars.

    I wanna grab a 360 Slim and a 360 E one of these days. Missed the boat of getting them at their lowest though, once they were discontinued. Could've got them for cheap back when I was a broke 20 something working at Target, but then again, I was a broke 20 something working at Target
