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

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...
