Is it giving you a message about the HDD being in "FREEZE" mode?
Some PC's won't allow you to Lock/Unlock a HDD at the boot process. When the computer detects the drive at bootup, it "freezes" the drive and disables the lock/unlock features.
You have to leave IDE cable (leave the power cable in) unplugged from the Xbox HDD until the first screen on the boot cd appears. After you see the sreen, you then plug the IDE cable into the XBox HDD. Then select the HD locking/unlocking tools...
My computer is this way...if I just bootup with the HDD plugged in like it should be, my PC freezes the drives, and I'm unable to lock or unlock.
Hope this helps,

As long as you don't have a Phoenix BIOS on your pc, try this:
1. Download xboxhdm v1.9
2. Put your hdd key in the /linux/eeprom folder
3. Use mk_win_iso.bat file to create a new iso file of the xboxhdm prog and burn it to cd.
4. Boot the pc from the cd without attaching the hard disk
5. When you get to the mainmenu, attach the hard disk. Run option 3, lock/unlock tools. It will locate your hdd key and ask if you want to unlock. Type YES and enter. Your drive will now be unlocked.
I'm assuming your box is modded, either softmod or with a modchip. So another option you could try is to download Slayer's autoinstaller 2.6 and burn it to dvd. Then, if your mod is still working, boot the Slayer's disc and use the option to reinstall the C partition containing the retail, unmodified M$ dashboard and all progs on the E partition. This will return your box to a retail-type state and you could then reinstall your mod.

I have somewhat the same problem. I can't seem to hotswap the normal way as I don't have the AV cable nor the controller for it. The light flashes Orange/Green and it turns on but I don't know if the HD unlocks because I can't see anything. Will it boot to the dash if theres no AV Cable or does it error?
Also, is there a program that can wipe the drive regardless if it can read it or not? Obviously I don't plan to keep anything on it, I just want it to work on my PC.
It was just some junk Xbox that I got that seems to work still I just wanted to use the HD for my other PC and just junk or give away the carcass. It's funny thought because I think it got dumped because the DVD Drive got a huge dent in it and I can hear the internals scrapping, which is not hard to fix actually.

I must admit to being somewhat confused. You have an Xbox and no AV cable or controller? You HAVE to have an av cable connected for the box to work otherwise you will get the flashing light, but this could just as well be associated with an hdd error.

There was no cables or controllers. I don't think anyone would dump cables or controllers if they are still working. Like I said, it was probably dumped due to the funny noises the DVD Drive was making. I've already pulled the HD to see if it was ok and its fine, spins up and down without noises and it can be detected properly. As far as I know theres nothing wrong with the HD through a normal PC. The Orange/Green Flash means no AV signal.

How can the hdd work ok through a pc when it's a fatx formatted drive and it's locked? Even xboxhdm will not let you check it in it's current state, it will only tell you that it's locked. And flashing lights can mean any one of a number of errors. You really need to get an av cable connected to see if it is throwing up any errors onscreen, such as:
05 - HDD unlocked
or
06 - HDD locked to an incorrect eeprom key

I can detect it, see what mode its in, size, ect. but can't look at it or access it. I've let it run in the XBox but it seems to shut itself off after about 10 minutes. It has appeared to be opened before could also be an attempt in modding the Xbox the HD appears to be a retail drive. I've looked at the board there doesn't appear to have anything disturbed. I'll probably have to have another look at it.
The flashing Orange/Green light means no AV cable. Your thinking RED/Green flashing light which could mean many things. I have yet to get a hold of a AV cable anyway to conferm what is wrong with it.

Hi all here is what happened to me maybe it was a fluke . I preped a hard drive for my xbox with xboxhdm afterwards I found out it was not lockable. I put in back in my computer and win xp could not reconize it .So I went and pulled out my computers hard drive and replaced it with the fouled up xbox one, xp did not reconize the file system but it did format it to ntfs . That left me with no lost hard drives and all working . anybody try this themselves and have diffrent results ?

oregan: the unlock code is stored in the chipset (southbridge). You have to pull the code using a program like that in evox, which reads it and stores it in a file on the hard drive so that you can use it later to manually lock or unlock it.
