Californiadad Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I'm in the process of installing a 40GB hard drive and I'm having problems getting it locked. The net says it's a lockable hard drive. So I'm wondering if there is another program I can run to get it locked? My drive is a IBM DeskStar #IC35L040AVER07-0 40GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmealone Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) Try Liveinfo, it needs the new hdd connected to pc, also the backup of the eprom of the Xbox. It will calculate the right password code to lock the hdd. Edited October 27, 2009 by letmealone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-Ice-Man Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Boot up your xbox with a copy of Slayer's Auto Installer disc. It has an option to lock and unlock the hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cba.gy Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Will it boot a disc while unlocked ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Ice-Man Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Should do. It's been ages but I remember when I first installed evox using Slayer's I left the drive unlocked for some reason and rebooted, and it booted the disc again fine. Then I locked it. I have a modchip though, dunno if that has anything to do with it. Can't hurt to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cba.gy Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 The magic word there Ice_Man. Modchip. Chipped machines dont need the lock as the bios and stuff is circumnavigated (bypassed). Softmods are a different kettle of fish so to speak. Shit better run off to google and get my facts right BP will be all over this thread if not.

The-Ice-Man Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 The first post didn't specify chip or softmod, so I was just posting what I know. I had a feeling softmod might be problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiadad Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 So If im soft modded I'm skrewed? You know whats weird is, I went ahead and tried to just re-format and re use my stock 8 gig drive and it does the same thing. I'm using xboxhdm 1.9. I know the stock drive is lockable, so what gives?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cba.gy Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Im gonna throw this one in here but here goes, did you include the unlock/lock code (or at least write it down) in your iso ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
