The drive needs to be unlocked by the xbox. Then from the pc, you have to run fdisk to rebuild the partition table. _________________ Xenium Ice 2.3.1 OS

From my "testing", I have found that the hdd needs to be unlocked by mean of what ever locked it.
If you used a modchip to lock it, use the modchip to unlock it. If you locked it with xboxhdm, unlock it with xboxhdm....etc. _________________ Xenium Ice 2.3.1 OS
