How do I get OSX to read a XBox 360 hard drive?

Hi Guys

Not sure if this is the right place for this question.

Anyway I have a Xbox 360 120GB hard drive and cannot get it to mount in OSX 10.5.5, it keeps coming up that it cannot be recognized etc.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a way/software solution to get it to mount. I don't have it on Xbox Live and my 360 is not networked by ethernet etc.

Cheers

Eric

Blame Microsoft...

Old link but since it's MS, I don't think much has changed

I'm curious - does Disk Utility see it at all?
Can you set remote login on the Xbox? Would it be able to make ssh'able by default?

Yes I blame Microsoft for everything even the current economic situation, seems the best answer

Will give those links ago.

Disk Utility sees it (its a Fujitsu MHW2120BH) but doesn't give me the option to mount it. When I plug it in it asks me if I want to initialize it, ignore it or eject it.

Not sure about the ssh stuff way beyond me.

May just have to connect with ethernet.

Cheers

I will try and get it connected by ethernet or my son will have a tiz if he can't get his Halo screenshots of it.

Damn MS.
