I have an old xbox that wasn't working for sometime. My hard drive was shot and its been collecting dust. A friend of mine recently burnt up his motherboard installing a mod chip and decided to give me his hard drive . I took his mod chip installed it on my motherboard and am using his OEM hard drive. As most of you already know, and as I just recently found out, this aint gonna work. His harddrive was never unlocked.

I have an xecuter 2.6 with Flashbios 3.03 on 1 bank and X2 4.0 somthing on the other. I have yet to install a dashboard, because I keep getting the oops screen with the 06 error. On the Flashbios bank I keep getting. "Unable to read HDD first sector. . . "

Basically am I screwed or what? I've read where I could swap the eeprom. I really don't feel like doing all that soldering. Is my best option just to by a new Hard drive? Do I have any other options. I tried Slayers disc, but I'm assuming I have to have an unlocked HDD to install it first.

'Error 06': Unlock Error, The XBOX? can not unlock the HDD. Most likely cause the HDD came out of another XBOX? Unfortunaltly each and every HDD sold with the XBOX? come tied to the Hip's with it's Logicboard. And you'd need to know the '20-bit Unlock Code' to actually unlock it. I take it the XBOX? in question was never moded?

Shame beacuse unless you actually knew all the info below:

XBOX? Serial Number
XBOX? MAC-Address
The On-line Key
The Unique HDD-Key (16-bit) ~do not confuse with the 20-bit Unlock Key!)
The Serial number of the HDD in question.

Are all needed in the algarythem that will eventually spit out a 20-bit Unlock Key that you can set with a a DOS Program like ATAPWD.exe or something. If the Drive had been moded. And perhaps just perhaps mind you! had a breif encounter with a Program called 'ConfigMagic'. You might be able to use the Master Pasword 'TEAMASSEMBLY' to get the Drive unlocked.

Allas this sadly does not appear to be the case though. =(
The Drive itself could be in a fine enough state. But, untill you can unlock it. it may as well be counted as dead. Beacuse as you noticed I'm sure it's of no further use to anyone...
