    Alright, I had a modded xbox with a seagate 200GB drive. That xbox is long gone but I want to put the drive in my pc. Now, I am pretty sure it is not locked(seeing that i never went online I didnt really need too).
    The CMOS on my computer recognizes the drive but it is unable to do any reading or writing or formatting to the drive.
    Some please help...and if it sounds like its locked would someone send me a link to one of the programs that does it for you. I saw them yesterday but can't seem to find them now. Thanks for any help!

    I just bought 2 hard drives.. Both 8Gig Western Digital. Im thinkin they are original X-box hard drives.. Are these usable in a normal PC? my comp recognises them as being there but doesnt show them in "my computer" or disk management to format them.. any help will be much appreciated.
