Ok, so heres the problem.
I'm helping my friend upgrade his xbox's HDD From the original. yes, the hard drive is lockable, i have the same model in my xbox. The dash is softmodded already, so i had the eeprom and XboxHDM all set up. i ran HDM, ceated the new hard drive, made the C, E, and F drive, all successfully. Afterwards, i locked the hard drive using the eeprom i grabbed from the eeprom backup tool on the old hard drive. The lock was successful, but when i put the hard drive in the xbox and booted it, i got error 6. error 6 is a problem with unlocking the hard drive. (NOTE: the box is not hard-modded, so we need the drive to lock/unlock in order to boot.) since that didn't work, i expected the eeprom key was wrong. so i whipped up config magic with the old Hard drive, and the eeprom pass was different than the one in the file used. so i decided to try to lock the hard drive with the key from config magic, but i still got error six. in config magic, it also showed that i had no online key, and no hard drive key, plus no serial number or Xbox Confounder(?). They all were strings of zero's in Config magic. I have a picture of it here...





This xbox was previously owned by a very irresponsible person, not to point any fingers *cough* arcder23 *cough*. this NAMELESS person decided to make it fun to delete the c drive from the Box. miraculously it still worked... somehow. okay.. if anyone can help, please reply to this ASAP.

Hey, it's actually my Xbox. Here's what we did, just in case someone wanted to know.
First, I cloned mario612's 40GB HDD to my 40 HDD and locked it with the password you see above. Then, I went back to the 8GiG and removed the softmod using the MechAssault save trick. Then I reinstalled it on the same drive. This time, I got the correct info in Config magic. So, I backed up my eeprom, and wrote it to a cd with XboxHDM. Then I put my 40GiG in my computer and booted it from CD. Then I locked it with the new password using "lockhd -a" and then I cloned my 8GiG onto the 40GiG and put it in my xbox. Then, it worked perfectly!
