you are using the LOCK -a option right?
This lockes the HDD with the EEPROM.BIN file on your CD in the EEPROM folder. Make sure it's the right EEPROM.BIN file, this can be done using LiveInfo V3 just open the EEPROM.BIN file in it and check that the xbox serial number matches the one on the bottom of the xbox. If not check if it matches the other xbox serial, if so your locking it to the wrong xbox. lol

NEVER type in a HDD lock key always use the EEPROM.BIN file or you may end up locking it and not knowing the password!!!

I have a nice tutor on getting the HDD password from an xbox, it also has a section on making a backup/restore CD.. may want to read it.

Ok, lets start over, ok.

Your using xboxhdm_v1.9 ???

If so good, if not what did you use?

If you did use xboxhdm_v1.9 then you must have made the ISO image and burned it to CD rom?
If you burned it to CD rom then when you boot the cd it should pop up to a command prompt asking you to choose boot option tools.
here you need to pick option 3, boot to Lock, Unlock tools.

after booting to this, it's simple to use the tools IF you placed your EEPROM.BIN file in the EEPROM folder of Xboxhdm_v1.9 BEFORE you made the ISO image.

Ok at this point all you do is type unlock -A (automaticlly read my EEPROM.BIN file off CD and unlock the HDD for me)
Then type REBOOT to reboot computer, then pick option 1 to go redo your HDD then type REBOOT again pick option 3 then type
LOCK -A (again this automaticlly reads the EEPROM.BIN file on the cd and locks your HDD for you, also it sets master password for you too!)

Now the master password lets you UNLOCK the HDD even if you F'ed up the HDD password!!! In xboxhdm_v1.9 it is set to ( XBOXSCENE )!!
This allows you to unlock the HDD. I belive you can then LOCK it back with a new password.

Hope this helps out. If you need more help, let me know.

Yeah...

After extracting xboxhdmv_1.9 (I'm going to call it XHD from now on)

you should have a folder that XHD is installed in.
In that folder is some files, and a folder called LINUX.
go into the LINUX folder and you will see more files and
a folder called C and E and EEPROM
in these folders is where you need to place your C drive files (dashboards and stuff) E drive files and in the EEPROM folder is where your EEPROM.BIN file goes for your xbox your are making this cd for.
after that exit back to the main folder that has all the files and the LINUX folder listed.

Now if there is a LINUX.ISO file already in that folder, rename it or delete it. Then run the file make-iso-win.bat that will creat the restore cd for YOUR xbox with YOUR software on it, like XBMC and Games and stuff that you put in the E folder.

Then after it makes the LINUX.ISO file or ISO file burn THAT to CD rom and boot it up to work on your xbox HDD

now when you do the unlockhd -a or lockhd -a option it will find the eeprom.bin on the cd rom and unlock/lock your xbox hdd.

Now if you changed your hdd password by mistake than thats another problem.. let me know what happens for ya.

NO NO NO!!!

DON't TRY that link shit! That hot swap stuff will fry your PC man.

My XBOX had the same excact problem and if you read my tutor you would know that cause I explain the same problem there and how to fix it.

Every one here thinks that HOT sawp shit is the best way to fix things but it isn't...


I'm tired of fooling with the ppl one this board I'm removing all my stuff.
