Did you include a copy of your eeprom.bin file onto the xboxhdm disk? If not, you will have to copy that file into the eeprom folder and burn it again.

Also, what options did you use when you tried to lock it? From the main screen, choose 3 for loading drive utilities in linux, and then type "lockhd -a". It should ask if you want to proceed. Type "y" not "yes" as I always do, and then it should tell you if it succeeded or not.

Hope that helps.

Reading over what you did....... Did you put your eprom file into the eprom folder on the disk? If you did try typing y instead of yes to attempt locking........

You can't lock without the eeprom, unless you hotswapped. You have the retail hdd, is it modded? You need to get the eeprom.bin from it.

Have you setup your ftp with retail hdd? You need to ftp the eeprom.bin to pc. Then you can make an iso with Xboxhdm, with eepron.bin in the its folder. Use this to lock hd.

If you run evox you can choose the backup option and copy eeprom.bin through ftp. You could also create the eeprom file with configmagic, but you will need to rename it to eeprom.bin

If you're using Evox, you can click on back up and use that eeprom. You could also, go into E open UDATA, folder 2158554 inside has another folder 000000, then look into backup folder for eeprom.bin. It should be 256 bytes or 1 kb.
