Pick up 360 HD drive today and hooked it to my computer and nothing..Please Help

Windows vista installed the driver but when I went to play it I got an unreconized format message. It played a normal dvd with no problem but not a HD. I did read you need to get cyber link ultra which is 100.00 bucks . Any other idea or programs that play hd?

Thanks

Hate to break it to you, but HD-DVD is dead. It lost the format war to Blu-Ray. That was $100 wastedz-man34

yeah.....the format isn't popular anymore...that's why his drive won't work.

ha ha! i didn't think this thread would make me laugh.

You need many things to get it to work on your PC:

- Windows Vista (There is a way to get it to work on XP!!).

- A monitor that is HDCP compliant.

- An HD Media Player Software (Which should contain an HD decoder).

As previously stated, you need an HDCP compliant monitor and graphics card before you begin. Now, all you need to do is follow these instructions and you should be set. For this, I think (I just skimmed it), he outputted the signal via HDMI to a TV - which you may or may not want to do. If you don't, disregard that part of the tutorial.

Remember, you're going to need a Media Player which supports HD content, and the best one I know of (and used in the link) is CyberDVD (properly known as "CyberLink PowerDVD").
