360 Can't Update

I got a used 360 that had the RROD problem, but I easily fixed that..

Once fixed, though, when it boots up, it goes to a purple screen and says,

"Can't find your XBOX 360 Hard Drive. Please reattach it. After you reattach your Hard Drive, your console will restart."

OK, so I power down, attach the Hard Drive, power back up... I get a couple seconds of "UPDATING" with the circle thingy, then I get this message:

"UPDATE FAILED... Couldn't find your XBOX 360 Hard Drive. If your hard drive is attached, contact blaa blaa blaa"

I have tried 2 different 360 HDs that I know are fully functional...

Anyone have any ideas???

Thanx

Yea, I even called the Microsoft Techs and they never heard of this kind of problem..

I don't think a new HD will solve the problem. I have tried both 20G and 120G drives that work fine on other machines.. But they are just not detected by this machine.

It seems such a shame to see this unit go to waste.. :(

They look OK....

I have a lot of 120G drives coming in tomorrow.. I'll check the connections then..

So far my 360 experience has sucked as well... we got ours for christmas and about 5 or 6 months later it started freezing, plus it started to do that purple screen crap with the update failed.. finally i shipped it off and i was like "yes, finally problem free again" but nope. i get it back and attach the harddrive and bam, same problem. It's gotta be somethin w/ the hard drive or live becuz its a brand new xbox im tryin it on.. please help if u get a solution to this

Are you the "Xbox man" that you're advertising? Because, to be honest, I wouldn't pay for your services after you come on here saying you fixed a RRoD but in the process totally f'd up the connection to the hard drive.

If you're not that person, and they just did the repair for you, I'd send it back to them and tell them to do it right.

Either way, sounds like your best bet with the RRoD is biting the bullet and paying M$ to do it right.
