A cople of questions:

1. Is there a special utility to "Ghost" or "Drive Image" an xbox drive? I tried both of these utilities and they did not find a partition on the drive. I think the xbox uses FATX?

2. I have a Western Digital WD1200JB 120Gb drive that I can't lock. I tried it on 2 different computers, and both gave me the "Error - this drive does not support the ATA security spec." I know that I am following the correct method (via the linux cd that I made) since I was able to lock a maxtor drive with the "lockhd -a" command. There are 4 entires in the xbox-hq database that users have said they have successfuly locked the drive and zero that says they have not.

Any suggestions?

You know it! Very Happy

I'm so sick of messin' with this stuff, as a newbie I know what I want, it's just how do I get there.

Regarding adding a modchip, I know that's probably the way to go but I'm just not comfortable soldering, yet... and as far as the chips, I have Filet Minon taste with a hamburger budget.

Had to get that off my chest.

Any comments about the DuoX2 mod chip from www.modchipman.com?

Put down that soldering gun and step away from it slowly!!! Laughing
Behold the Xenium Ice for V1.0-1.5 or Xenium Spice for v1.6.

convince a friend to let you try locking the drive in their computer, sometimes its just your computer being a bitch Smile

I tried it in 2 computers and it didn't work. Anyhow, I made a Franstein's monster of my Xboxes, I switched the motherboards between my xboxes and should be happy camper now (for at least a little while!) Smile Smile
