TestDisk shows XBOX FATX partition
Posted: 10 Dec 2013, 15:12
I've been using TestDisk to analyse all my hard drives to make sure they are correct and one of them came up as XBOX instead of Intel which surprised me as I have Windows XP installed on it. Thinking back I may have used this drive in an XBOX (the first one) and then took it out to use it back on the PC.
Just out of curiosity I took another hard drive out of the XBOX and connected it to the PC and it wouldn't show up in Windows XP. Apparently I need to unlock the drive before I can use it for the PC.
Two questions, how did I manage to format it with NTFS and install WinXP on it without unlocking it and how do I get it to show up correctly as Intel NTFS rather than XBOX FATX? There must be a file somewhere on the drive that making it report this.
Here's the log
