I was out of "disposable" hard drives so I obtained a 10 GB HD from an XBOX and tried to use it for my PC.
I'm well aware that XBOX does not use the same disk layout nor partition types but I figured that fdisk from an Ubutnu Linux installation cd should be able to do its job anyway. It wasn't. I just got an error message.
Has anyone here tried it, or has any suggestions?
I'm thinking about finding an old MB that can low level format the drive. (Why did they stop adding that feature to new MBs anyway?)
