I'm helping a friend fix his un modded xbox. He had a power outrage while playing a game and the next time he booted his xbox it came up with an error 5. I know this means that the harddrive is unlocked. Is there anyway to lock it again so his box isnt a total loss? Everything in the xbox is original and unmodded and was in 100% working order when the power went out. Thanks in advance.

I'd think if you loaded it on a modded xbox, when you turn that modded xbox off it should lock. I'd think... It may not lock with the right pw, thats my only worry. Otherwise, just shove it in a comp and use XBHDM or whatever it is and lock it from there.

Doesnt the lock function with xboxhdm require the eeprom from that drive to work tho? The only copy of xboxhdm I have is set for the eeprom of my system.

Good point, but I think since it's unlocked you can get the EEPROM and all off the xbox itself, just mess around and see if it'll load the data from your xbox when it's unlocked, if you can get it to do that, go for it! I can't help there because I can't take apart my laptop to get an IDE cable, why? Because it's a SATA hdd. Sorry.

You can buy a mod chip and put it in so it boots the unlocked one, or take a chip out of one of your boxes, put it in his, lock his drive, then put it back in yours.

Buying a chip would mean waiting weeks for it to arrive and he really doesnt want to mod his xbox. Taking a chip out of mine would mean desoldering, soldering to his, desoldering from his and resoldering to mine. Far more steps than I want to take to relock a hard drive.

Buy from mod-chip.com, comes in like 3-4 days. Anyways without modding the xbox your never going to get the HDD locked. You must either buy a mod chip, or you need a EEPROM back-up.

Link for mod-chip:http://www.mod-chip.com

And I suppose there's no way to pull the eeprom from the drive with out modding?

3 - 4 days? Guess I ordered my chip from the wrong place. Took almost 3 weeks. Smile

I will sell you an X3 for $50 shipped and I will ship priority mail so you will get it in 3 or 4 days or you can send me the Xbox and I will fix it for you.

What would you charge just to fix it ? He is not interested in having it modded.
