Are you formatting with x3 BIOS? If so, don't.

Considering it starts with another drive without error, it probably is your partition/format.

On the other hand, it might be your SATA adapter/HDD itself that isn't working with the xbox.

There's a lot of troubleshooting you can do. I would start with setting your dashboard to a different partition. Sometimes a partition isn't loaded fast enough to boot from. Try booting from E, C, F and see if the results change.

To clarify, you say you can't get back into config live after the format?

I suppose you can format the C and E partitions using x3 BIOS.

Try and get it booting off of either of those 2 partitions, then load up XBPartitioner 1.3. This program will format F and G with the proper cluster size.

The problem is error 7 means your HDD is taking to long to init or otherwise. This error 7 business means "HDD Timeout" by the Xbox.

yes ,i'm doing this ,but i can't write on the disk,i have formatted the partition and after ,when i connect with filezilla ,says me that are waiting for a welcome message from my xbox.the error 7 appear when my sata adapter is not fully in the drive..probably connecting and reconnecting make it moove..but if i insert that adapter fully in the drive the error disappear.
