Ok so I have tried everything to get this HDD to read, but it simply won't. I don't know if im doing anything wrong but here's what I've done. I've formatted it to Fat32, and it won't read on stock dash settings, storage, or XEX Menu.. I've also made a partition to 120GB Fat32, that it won't read either. I am NOT using it via USB, but sata. Like a normal HDD plugs in. I have taken apart my current HDD to get the cable, which connets to the xbox, then into the HDD. so I have it connecting via xbox regular HDD cable, to the 2TB hard drive, and it doesn't read. Maybe someone can help me? As I really want to get this to work. Down below is a link to the HDD I have, NOTE: The hard drive that is linked below IS infact the HDD I have, it's just taken apart so I could use it for internal uses for my PC, but now I have a 1TB SSD, and want to use this for my RGH now.

That is a 3.5" HDD. It is not getting enough power to spinup.
You need a 2.5" drive if you are using it as an internal drive on the stock xbox hdd power/data ports.
