Hello. i want to use my old xbox hardrive in my pc. I have obtained the password for it through EvoX. When i entered the password to unlock it, it said done. Then when i had to do the password for hddisabl.exe, it said that "the device is not ready"? can someone please help me?
8 GB or 10 GB hdd in a pc!!!! buy a new pc, however if you do REALLY want to use it u need to unlock it (use carpet magic) then you need to re-format it for pc use (u need a pc format program)
Its not for the fact that to use it in my PC, its so i can transfer games with my friends. I wanna use this hardrive for swap things with friends.
I had the same problem with mine. Then I realized that I was using the lock/unlock code for my maxtor 250gig. Oops. A stupid mistake, yes. But perhaps you should double check.
if you have the slayer CD - stick the HD back in the xbox - use config magic or what ever it is called (EEPROM management option)- and unlock the HD whilst it is in the XBOX - all done automatically - no need to enter passwords. then you can use it in a PC to your hearts content.
I have a similar problem. My Xbox died about 3 months ago and I'm trying to salvage what I can into my PC or whatever. I have heard I have to have this Xbox working to get this HD to unlock- is there a way around it?
yes, there is a way around that. It involves removing the eeprom from the dead mobo and putting it on a working mobo. A lot of messy work for a 10gig hdd. Go here for a how-to: http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/recover-locked-hd.php
to make an UNLOCKED xbox hdd run on a pc, you dont need a format prog, all you need is a win98 floppy, stick on the hard drive, boot up the floppy, when its finished, type fdisk, create a dos partition, then type format c: done course thats an unlocked one
oh yeah, sorry. I guess I didn't specify that that was for a locked hdd only. Much easier if it's already unlocked but it sounds to me like your problem is that your hdd IS locked. But do you know for sure? You wouldn't have much of a problem if it's already unlocked. You will have to stick it in another modded xbox though in order to recover all of your info. Using it in your pc requires a reformat, and there goes all of your info if you do.
you can also try the unlock facility on littlejonnys auto installer if you have no joy with configmagic
