Yeah made a new hard drive with XBHDM. The disk is lockable. But XBHDM cannot lock it because it's in a frozen state. It said to disable 'automatic detection' But I can't find that in my BIOS...
I need a solution, and fast.

Found this:
Final tips - Freeze lock!
Most PC Bioses seems to enable the Freeze Lock command on unlocked drives on bootup. I guess this is a safety messeaure since you cannot accidently lock or erase prepare a unit when it's frozen. However when the freeze lock is set you cannot relock the drive either. This is rare though and can be disabled in most bioses by disabling automatic hardware detection on bootup on the Primary channel (where the HDD is). We dont need this for booting a CD anyway.
Remember to reenable automatic detection on primary master after using xboxhdm if your regular PC HDD is on primary master and is the boot device.

If your Bios doesn't support disabling of the auto detection your can try to pull out the IDE cable of the HDD before booting the PC (put with the power cable in the HDD) and put back the IDE cable when you reach the xboxhdm boot menu.

Error 12: 1 Check the IDE cable connection
2 Replace IDE cable with a known good one
3 If above do not solve the problem replace the drive
Didn't you say something about a dodgy drive?

Nah it's fine, I thought that XboxHDM borked it. But it formatted good and shit. Just wouldn't load cos when I was trying to load windows cos I had the wrong jumper settings, before I formatted it.

Xbox Hard Drive Question!
Lock my old thread you b*stards! Haha
Is it possible to take the hard drive I just made out of that Xbox and place it into another one? I'm sick of that one now, the dvd isn't flawless. I want a proper one with a Samsung Drive...
