I remember hearing somewhere that if i disable the hdd, and run a recovery it wont format it. Its either yay or nay. I don't remember and if its true this will save me time. Because removing the sidecar is a bitch! so yea... Look in documentation. Xbox 360 Launcher System Settings p.clsInfo {margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:2px} span.clsWarning {display:none} span.clsPreliminary {color:#C1C0C0} span.clsLink{color:blue;cursorointer;} Hard Drive Specifies whether the console's hard drive is recognized. The following two options are available: Enabled, which means that the hard drive is recognized and available for all functions. This is the default setting. Disabled, which means that the hard drive's presence will be ignored. The launcher will not display any files on the hard drive, nor will Remote Recovery update the XDK samples. So.. i think its a yay, but i will way for feedback.
It shouldn't touch the HardDrive ;o. If you're on a newer kit, you can just use the IMU while recovering and you won't have to format the HDD, wether it's plugged in, enabled/disabled, or what not. -Doom
