you need to make sure the drive is unlocked and then you can just install it into your PC an reformat it. You won't be able to use it in your PC if its still locked. _________________ Live Fast, Bleed Slow

ya it may be that you got one of the few drives out there that don't lock, you can check the HardDrive database on this site and look for your drive to see if it has been confirmed lockable or not. That way you know for sure if your drive is unlockable. And not something else that may have been overlooked.
I've also had problems with using the DOS unlock/lock program in XboxHDM. Using the Linux unlock program and the auto read EEPROM code option works like a charm every time, as long as you have the correct EEPROM. _________________ Live Fast, Bleed Slow

Heres a Tip: If you were thinking about buying a locked xbox harddrive off ebay, Dont, because it will stay locked and it will be the best doorstopper you purchased.
Now you will either will have to get another harddrive thats lockable or get a modchip so you can run your xbox with the current 120 gig harddrive unlocked. _________________
