Xbox HDD expert Needed!!!!!

i want to use my xbox hdd as a slave drive through a USB external cradle. i placed the hdd in the cradle and plugged in the usb. the pc picked up the hdd but it won't show it. i assume because of the password or lock on the xbox hdd.

i have read all the tutorials on using the xbox hdd in your pc but they are for primary use and i don't have an extra pc to use with the boot disk.

so basically i'm wondering if there is any other way the format the hdd or a sweet ltttle trick to get my pc the recognize the hdd through the usb cradle

Thanks in advance

I think you need to unlock the xbox drive first.

ok unlocking it shouldn't be a prob. just a matter of popping my new HDD out of my xbox and putting the old one in and running config magic

but how do i format it once it is unlocked with out using a boot disk.

fist make sure the HDD is unlocked by using say config magic or slayers disc.

Then pop the HDD inside your PC, or caddy.

Hope your running 2k/xp!!

Right click on my computer and go to manage, then disk mangaement. Here u should see your HDD with a error. Right click on it and you can partion and format it all from here.

Thats the best way to do it

seaneyb2003 is an unknown quantity at this point
if ur using 95/98/me

make a boot disk

insert the boot disk

load the pc

and run it with cdrom support

msdos prompt loads type in " format C:" or what drive it is.

then it will ask u to confirm and press Y and then it will format the hdd
