It's just an old 30gb zune harddrive, i dont care about losing anything on it. Thanks for the heads up though.

UPDATE: I got it to work a few days ago, and now enjoy yet another usb drive with no real purpose for it in mind, but hey, its more space.

Turns out the wire inside connecting to the circuit board was upside down. Not sure if that was my fault cause i never unplugged that side before. Anyway, i didnt have to do any fancy DOS commands. I plugged it in, it was recognized, and it worked. Needless to say i had to format it, but it wasn't a hassle at all.

Thanks for the help. I guess this was another lesson of "look for the obvious things first"
