well, i give up, nothing works, i guess i will have to get him to buy a mod chip so i can rebuild him a new hard drive from scratch! i believe this hard drive is toast, only thing i can think of, when i use the xboxhdm, it states disabled for any options, only thing i can see is option 6! oh well! thanks for all your help return!

i kept asking if ftphelp sees his hard drive in my computer or system manager, but he kept saying after he did another one that he didnt look, so i dont know because like i have said, i could see mine in system manager and explorer360 wouldnt recognize and fatx drives!

another thing, when i booted from cd rom with xboxhdm, it would show errors when trying to read hard drive, then when options came up only option i could do was 6, it there would tell me serial number of hard drive, hdd password and key, states its locked and so on!
so i really at a loss right now, i really dont want to tell the guy he has to buy a mod chip and theres nothing else i can do!

another thing, i mentioned about tsop flahsing, what is this and will it help me in any way shape or form??

you have to unlock the hdd to use xboxhdm.
ftphelp does not know much about pc.

i found this, i am going to give it a shot, see what happens, what do i have to loose at this point!

"...when you don't know the password.
I found a method to do this, and I thought I might share it with you...
1. Find a Windows XP (or 2000, probably) machine with IDE. Plug the
locked drive into the power, but not the IDE, while the computer is off.
2. Power on. It'll boot normally (my computer wouldn't start with a
locked drive in the IDE chain).
3. Plug in the IDE, then use Device Manager to look for new devices
until it finds the drive. Don't worry, it won't fry anything.
4. Use LiveInfo ( http://www.team-assembly.com/downloads/ ) to find the
drive's password. Print it out.
5. Go to DOS and use HDUNLOCK
( http://dwl.xbox-scene.net/~xbox/xbox-scene/tools/harddrive/hddunl... ).
Enter the password for the drive. It'll say that it succeeded even if
it's the wrong password, so make sure you put it in correctly.
6. Use HDDISABL (same archive) and enter the same password. It will
give you an error if you have the wrong password.
Et voila.
This is not my method; I found it searching through the xbox-scene
forums. I can't remember who I got it from.
I haven't tried it on any other hardware than my own, and only once.
There's a chance it was a fluke, and I'll not tempt fate by locking it
with a garbage password again... But you probably have a number of
drives you thought were paperweights. Give this a shot, it might work.

okay, i followed last post tut, it picked up my locked hard drive, told me it was locked and also gave me the right serial number and a calculated password! now i saved this calculated password to eeprom, burnt a new bootable dvd with xboxhdm, when i run it, it picks up the hard drive and tells me hard drive is locked and options will be disabled, i try running unlockhd, when this happens i put in this password, and it says done, but in order for me to start xboxhdm again, i have to reboot, and i believe this just locks that hard drive again!
with this new calculated password i got and saved to eeprom like it said to do, is there any chance i can just build a new hard drive with this new bootable dvd i made?

if the hdd is unlock, hook it back to pc on the secondary IDE port. Turn on PC, ofcourse pc can't read it, but xplorer360 will read it. YOu should be able to explore inside the hdd. You can find the real eeprom in there too.

@ shinnster
do you think windows can cause problems to read linux hdd?
You and ftphelp have same windows xp sp2. But sesko has windows xp pro sp2.

His computer actually saw the hdd in system manager. But the xplorer360 can't find the FatX.

Sorry i meant to say Wondows xp pro sp 2. when you get sp2 all xp's become the same :-) I'm not sure why it can not read his drive, on mine i always got the messge saying cannot read fatx drive but it still showed my partitions down the side so I am stumped with this one.

I now run Windows Xp media center and can still see my xbox hard drive when its connected in xbox plorer.

heres another thought, not sure if we covered this or not, but please bare with me!
on my evox dashboard, config sys settings, there is the option to either unlock or lock my hard drive, what are these settings actually for? if i were to click on unlock, thinking that this will infact unlock the hard drive(keep in mind, this is on my working soft modded xbox right now)!, should i then be able to place this in, with the power still on the hard drive, remove the ide cable, then slide it into the non-working xbox, power it on, would this boot up properly, then go back into the dashboard, click lock hard drive, then ftp into it, back up the eeprom onto my computer and thus giving me the hard drive password key for the lock hard drive we are trying to unlock?

i hope this makes some sense, i am just grasping at ideas now before i go ahead and buy a mod chip!

will xplorer360 create another partition for you? i think you are talking about xplorer360 and not xbox360, anyways, or you could create a new hard drive which will give you all your partitions back!
