Hi I have problems to UNLOCK my XBOX HDD. Several months ago, i have locked my HDD to Play XBOX-Live, now my XBOX is damaged, i cant start it, the Graphic-CHIP is damaged... Now i have a new XBOX and i will put my 120GB HDD from the damaged XBOX to my new one, the problem is, my HDD is LOCKED! I cant format it! To format it on my PC, i must get the Backup-file on partition C, i never have created one! Is there a way, to unlock my HDD again? Thx 4 ur Support Greets BIGmasta

Dumping your Xbox HD under Win32 By Adam Branom (aka RustyBall) FATX Explorere info written by Opcode WinHex (all you need is demo but, you can buy it if you want) Get it here ftp://ftp.darmstadt.gmd.de/pub/pc/win95/diskutil/winhex/winhex.zip FATXExplorer.exe (ported to Win32 by opcode from Andy + Luke’s Xbox HD dumper, GUI added as well) Available at http://www.geocities.com/rustygrom2000/FATXExplorer.zip and http://home.cfl.rr.com/buddamus/FATXExplorer.zip Note: This process will not work on a fat32 drive because of its file size limit. First issue is the Xbox HD password lock. There are two ways of bypassing this. Either spend a lot of money and get a logic analyzer or have access to one, or, the much easier route of the “cable switch” method. To do the cable switch, plug a power plug from your pc into your xbox hd and fire up your computer. Right when it starts booting up, start pressing the Pause Break key and do not let it detect your drives. Then, make sure the IDE cable is going from the xbox to the HD and turn on the xbox. After it gets to the dashboard, unplug the ribbon cable that is going from the Xbox to the hd and replace it with one that is connected to your computer. Now, press a key to allow your computer to continue booting. Once into windows, run WinHex. Go to tools > disk editor. Find the xbox hard disk in the list and hit ok. Then, hit ctrl+a and go to Edit > Copy Block > Into new file. Save the file somewhere and leave your comp alone for a while. Once it is done, the next process begins. Working with the image file you just made. To dump a file, load the image file and select the partition you want to see. Next select a directory from the left pane, any files in that directory will be shown in the list on the right. To dump one or more files, select the files in the list, then right-click and select "Dump Files..." this will show a Save dialog for each file you selected with the XFAT filename put in as the default name. To save the file simply press save and it will be saved to the directory/name you selected. _X_X_X_X_X_[small]don't kick'm , hit'm[/small]
