well heres what happened

first i cloned my xbox hd using xboxhd and everything went well untill i tried to lock it using xboxhd it gave me the following err

drive on primary master is frozen, can not change the security status of a frozen drive! try to disable 'automatic detection' on the primary ide channel in your pc bios and reboot

have a comcrap so my bios options suck and the only thing i can find remotly to automatic detection is "apic" i disabled it and rebooted and still no go....

so i said screw it ill figure it out later and put it aside

well now i really need to figure this out cause now i know its the the hdd... i screwed up the dashboard files on my orig hdd when trying to install xbmc as a dashboard... so i hooked up the orig moded hdd to the comp ran xboxhd unlocked it and restored the c: partion. then i tried to lock it and got the err again

drive on primary master is frozen, can not change the security status of a frozen drive! try to disable 'automatic detection' on the primary ide channel in your pc bios and reboot

Your best bet would be a modchip, coupled with slayers or AID for relocking.

well i fixed it..... i had to wait till the computer booted xboxhd and then attach the hdd so my motherboard would not freeze it and then run the locking program and it now works again

another problem i came across it does matter which ide cable that the xbox harddrive and the cd/dvd drive is conected to. try switching the cables but it if you get errs about the security boot you compute with the harddrive ide cable unatached and then load xboxhd program's main menu then attach the hard drive. if it dont work switch the ide cable on the harddrive and the cd rom.... see if that helps...
