http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/pc-hdd.php for a tutorial and http://www.xbox-scene.com/tools/tools.p ... =harddrive for some apps

didn't really read through all the stuff, but the xbox-sence site is a great one

yea, i went through those guides and etc.. but you need to know the Key to be able to unlock it... and this is information that i dont have..

Can't you just LLF the sucker in a PC?

(Soz if this doesn't make sense, I'm not that into Xboxes).

no, when a ATA hdd is locked, you need the key to be able to do anything more than just detect the drive.. i cant see the partitioning and etc...
