The only soulution is to get a disk scratch remover to rescue the disk. The Xbox scratched the disk because of the lack of anything to stop the disk tilting inside the drive when the xbox is moved.

To make the xbox360 hard drive 'formatted' to the console you need to follow these simple steps.
1, Go to the system settings on the dash board.

Other than that, you will need a new hard drive as the one they have provided is faulty.
Lesson learnt for buying the cheaper 're-furbished' product. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi,

Yes there is a problem with the hard drive and a new one will be possibility, you can however keep trying to format the drive or use a friends Xbox to try and format it. Problems like this are usually due to bad or unreadable sectors.




Regards.

the problem may come from the hard drive which means that it may have a virus like a computer or that the hardrive may have a malfuntion and cant be able to read to the xbox 360 so it is considered to buy a new hardrive and recover your profile/ enter xbox.com to get all the downloads that was on the last hard drive

Got any more specifics? like was it a transfer cable or a usb flashdrive? Does it boot up at all? unplug all the cords (wall to box, box to xbox) unplug the hard drive and make sure all the little brass connectors are clean and even spaces apart. Plug it all back in and see if it boots, if still nothing, unplug the hard drive and see if the xbox boots by itself. that's all I can wing at the moment, let me know if that did anything please
