Use HeXEn (Google Heimdall's Xbox Engineering Disc) to build the new disk in your Xbox instead of your PC.

Yes, burn to DVD-R at 4x or slower.

You need something to power the second disk, and you might want to use your PC for that, but apart from that you don't need your PC.

HeXEn has instructions on-screen.

HeXEn will format it for you.

You can use your PC to power the disk.

The hdd has to lose power/reset for the ATA security lock to sink in. Alternatively the hdd really doesn't support ATA security.

HeXEn tells you when to cut the power.....sort of.

QUOTE
HeXEn lxhdm Locking Menu
Select both menu options, in order.

1. Lock disk
2. Backup eeprom

Now remove the HeXEn DVD
and turn your Xbox off
then back on again.


Maybe I should have been more explicit about removing the power from the second drive at this point as well. I assumed it was fairly obvious.....

You'll have to forgive my ignorance on things like that Heimdall, this is my first time working with internal Hard Drives. So I didn't know things like the ata security only sets in when the power is cut off.

And at this point since no one seems to answer it that it doesn't matter if the hard drive is set to master or cable select positions. I'll set it on master and see if it works, since the pc xhdm creator had to have it set on master.

Thanks for being patient with me guys.  biggrin.gif
