Xbox 360s use standard 2.5″ SATA drives, but due to the fact that they are formatted with the FATX file system, common forensic tool suites such as Encase and FTK are unable to read them.

However, there are several 3rd party tools that have been released by members of the hacking and modification community that can read FATX and display the contents of the drive in a GUI from within Windows.  Consider giving these a try:

Also, Linux can mount FATX volumes with proper modifications to the kernel.  Please see this page of the Xbox-Linux wiki for more details.
