I originally hooked it up via the transfer cable to save data from a 16GB HDD to the 120HDD and the XBOX said it needed to be configured. When my 120GB HDD is connected via transfer cable, the XBOX lists it as a 16GB thumb drive. When I have the HDD in the console itself XBOX doesn't even recognize it's there.
Check to see if your 120GB is Actually a 120GB, just slide it into a computer and see.

mine just did the same thing. bought it from walmart last month now i have to return it luckily they have a 90 day policy and can exchange for a new one instead of mailing it to xbox and waiting almost 2 weeks. my hardrive did however work in a different xbox just not on my console. sucks lost all my saved & installed games now gotta go back to blockbuster and re-rent the games so i can install them again! if you cant return yours, xbox will pay for your shipping you can print the shipping tags online from xbox.com
