Thats the only thing, I've tried to get it to work on the Xbox. But it won't because its not compatible.

Hehe. I got the 200GB Maxtor unlocked and working without having to hotswap or anything xbox related.

Umm now i got this 40Gb ATA Seagate Barracuda laying around. It worked in xbox. But i restored my xbox back to orignal form.. hrrmm how can i get this HD unlocked. The way i used for the 200GB wont work for this 40GB cause it says WARNING: THIS DRIVE IS LOCKED BY ATA PASSWORD

which i have no clue about. lol its stored in the eeprom but i restored my xbox back to factory form. and i dont wanna re-softmod it again.

The 40GB doesn't work that way though. It says that warning ata locked thing. And the two passwords, xboxscene and teamassembly dont work. and i cant access the eeprom. meh i'll just toss this hd. its small and not worth the trouble.

What happens if you place the 40Gb in the Xbox? Error screen?

The 40 works great in the xbox. But i restored the xbox back to the original state, and put the stock hd in it.

Also, the xbox has been taken apart way to many times, and 2 screws are stripped, and one doesnt even go in, the whole mount ripped through. So im not going to take apart the xbox again. Meh i'll just toss the 40gb.

Another quesiton, not related to this thread. My cousins xbox has a fried powersupply. So she gave it to me. Is there anything i can do with this xbox? I dont wanna hook up a standard PC PowerSupply incase it puts out too much voltage or amperage.

Hi, i would try out xboxhdm with the first option buildt scratch...
than type xboxhd and now choose the option wipe back or out fatx partition(i think option 5).This works for me but i had to unlock the hdd before.If your hdd is locked and you havn`t the eeprom or the original xbox where the hdd works before i´think it`s nearly impossible to get it back to work(except the fw.update).
Much luck

Why are you tossing the 40Gb?

It's quite simple... if you can boot the drive, you can easily mod it. You don't even have to install the softmod, just get to the softmod screen. From there you can backup the eeprom and FTP in to get it!

With the eeprom safely in your possesion you can unlock the drive with XboxHDM!

The HD worked mint in th xbox. Still does. I just wondered if there was a lazy way to unlock it. heh, i dont want to wreck the screws, and mounts in the xbox more than i already have by opening it again. lol.

But its ok, someday i'll be ambitious enough to do it.
