i was going to upgrade my Harddrive in my xbox and i saved everything and used xboxhdm_v1.9. well i got it all finished and then i decided to lock the hard drive. i used a 3.5 floppy to lock it and it said it would save my pw. i set my password to something i could remember and the hard drive didnt work in my xbox. so i took it back out planning to try again but its locked and it wont unlock. is it a paperweight now? or can i unlock it somehow. its a 40 gb seagate from a computer.

i have my eeprom saved from my 40 gb on the floppy but the key it saved will not work to unlock it or either im not doing it right. tried using my xbox hd key and it wouldnt either.

i also tried to go in atapwd and type master pw XBOXSCENE and that doesnt work either.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?

I think you need to use a program like Killdisk to totally Re-Write the HD blank and Start over . Not sure if that will help but I know Killdisk works very well .. Good Luck... Heres a link : http://killdisk.com/

yes it came up and said what it was but since it was the free version it said it could only do one pass write 00 and i tried that but it wouldnt work. just set there HD light flashed and floppy growled and the progress bar never moved after 5 minutes.

in the log file from killdisk i got this.
