Thanks for all of your help 2 years ago. I recently removed my 120gig Seagate HD from my old xbox v1.0. I no longer have access to that xbox v1.0 but I do have the floppy disk with the unlock tools and the cd-rw with the xboxhdm iso that I used to create the hard drive.
I have in possession an xbox v4.0, it's 120gig hd just recently crashed. I do have the cd-rw iso used to create that v4.0 harddrive (both softmodded hd's from v1.0 and v4.0 are identical 120 gig seagates) from xboxhdm (but I lost the unlocking floppy- I hope this doesn't matter since the hd is trashed)
I was just trying to figure out the best way to put my old xbox's v1.0 120gig HD into my Xbox v4.0? I put that working 120 gig hd (from v1.0) into my pc with the v1.0 iso for the hdm and I put in the floppy with unlocking tools, but could not figure out how to unlock it and exit out of that program...

Does your 1.4 xbox have a chip in it? If it does you can just unlock the V1.0 HDD and put it into the new xbox. _________________

unless u can obtain the eeprom used to lock it, then it screwed, i have a 40 gig locked, and i tried everything to remove the password on it, even writing zeros to the hdd doesn't work.

I have the floppy with the unlock code for the 120gig drive that was in my xbox v1.0 (I also have the code written down on paper). I even have the cd-rw that I used to create that 120gig drive from the orginal xbox HD v1.0 using Xboxhdm. On that cd-rw is the eeprom. I just cannot unlock that 120gig HD with xboxhdm and keep it unlocked to use my newer xbox's v4.0 cd-rw (remember that v4.0's 120 gig hd just crashed) to format that 120gig drive that I had in my old xbox v1.0 for the new xbox v4.0.

Well you have 2 options. You can either get the eeprom off the floppy disk and make a new boot disk since it sounds like the floppy isn't working. Or you could use HDD unlock to unlock it:http://www.hddunlock.com/ The only downside to HDD unlock is that it erases all data on the drive. _________________
