    check the jumpers on the hard drive and make sure that it is set to master.

    now, if the pc does not recognize the hard drive, re-create the partition.

    you must format the entire drive and disable locking if you did so. if you didnt lock the drive that is why it didnt work in your xbox.

    When you say installing the hard drive was a failure, what do you mean exactly? Did you install from the slayers disc? Will it not boot to a dashboard after slayers? We need more details. Your bois may be looking some where your dashboard is not located. Your drive maybe be unable to read the disc you burnt.....MORE DETAILS, thanks

    Its a few days old now and youve probably fixed it. However, unlock the drive and I suggest you never use someone elses computer hardware for your xbox especially if you have no Idea what your doing. I hope it all worked out for you both. Cheers
