If you've been using it for a few years since deleting the files then the space they occupied will probably have been reused, so your chances of success are very, very slim.

To plug it in to your PC you .... plug it in to your PC. It's a standard IDE disk.

Use Photorec to try to recover the files - it understands FATX formatted disks.

you can have the xbox unlock the hard disk because its chipped "if it is locked at all"
xplorer360 will be able to view the hard disks contents if it is not locked so you may want to start there.

Not sure what else to do.  I hooked up the drive to my computer, booted with a dos disk and the appropriate files to unlock the drive and tried both the 'password' and 'key' and neither resulted in a successful unlock.  The password I saw via my 'info' screen on my xbox was 40 characters long and it seems others are shorter.

I have no \data dir. on any of the partitions of my HDD with any type of hddinfo.txt files or anything.  I'm really at a loss here.  I can't even tell what type of chip and or version of software is running.

Unlock it in the Xbox, using Evox or Config Magic.

You just need to put Config Magic into your apps folder like any other app.

Or alternatively install as an app EvolutionX or even UnleashX which, although I've not tried it, I think can also be used to un/lock the HDD. Both can be very useful as apps in any case for a number of reasons.

Don't use unleashX to lock the hdd. It's buggy.

That's a bit retrograde. As far as dashboards go, XBMC > UnleashX > EvolutionX, simply because that's the reverse of the order in which development stopped.
