google it, there is a program that you can download, so that you can format the hard drive and use it in a laptop or pc.

Hard disk low level format, not sure what exactly its called thats what the program says on my desktop..I used a 120gb xbox 360 hard drive for my wii and that is what i used to format the drive so nothing was left on it from the xbox 360


if i can find the link i will post back

I just plugged mine in and formatted like normal with win 7.

I now have XP installed on it as part of a dual boot, works fine.
