Is there anyway to upgrade my hdd??

Boy, I'm glad that I got an Xecuter 3 CE while I could still get one 4 years ago and the fancy control panel. I didn't have to go through all this stuff when I upgraded hard drives all I had to do is drop in the hard drive and set it up through the BIOS.

Any modchip allows you to drop in a new hard drive, including the $4 one in this thread.

i tried 2 320gb formatted sata hdds and 1 160gb formatted ide hdd

When booting into XBOXHDM during Linux can you see the name of your drive appear quickly? I've seen drives that are lockable and not lockable appear so there is a possibility the cable you're using isn't good or a pin is broken on your drive. I've tried this method on many PCs without a problem. Maybe mention what you've been doing from Start to Finish, and I don't think it's possible to softmod with SATA, but I could be wrong.
