FileForums - can i put the xbox hd on my pc

no you can't put the xbox HDD in your pc

Quote:

The OEM Xbox hard drive comes from Microsoft in a “locked” condition. This is a privacy mechanism which was intended to prevent you or hackers from looking at the contents of the original disk.

If you place the OEM drive into a PC, the PC bios will be unable to unlock the drive, and the drive will not enter a “ready” state that the PC can deal with.

I'm pretty sure you have to connect your xbox to your pc via ethernet cable (cat5) and then do whatever via an ftp client like FlashFXP or Bulletproof FTP or so on.
