Most PC Bioses seems to enable the Freeze Lock command on unlocked drives on bootup. I guess this is a safety messeaure since you cannot accidently lock or erase prepare a unit when it's frozen. However when the freeze lock is set you cannot relock the drive either. This is rare though and can be disabled in most bioses by disabling automatic hardware detection on bootup on the Primary channel (where the HDD is). We dont need this for booting a CD anyway.
Remember to reenable automatic detection on primary master after using xboxhdm if your regular PC HDD is on primary master and is the boot device.

If your Bios doesn't support disabling of the auto detection your can try to pull out the IDE cable of the HDD before booting the PC (put with the power cable in the HDD) and put back the IDE cable when you reach the xboxhdm boot menu.
