Say, if I use a bigger HDD which supports ATA-100, should I change the default ATA-33 cable in the xbox to an ata-100 one?

I have a Maxtor 4R120L0 (OEM). I have been unable to lock this drive. ATAPWD says that it doesn't support ATA-security. I've tried it on _several_ computers with different models and brands of motherboards. I've also tried locking it with Config Magic. Config Magic also tells me that the drive does not support locking. Has anyone been able to get this drive to lock. If so, how? Is there a problem with locking OEM drives that does not exist with retail drives. I was under the assumption that they are the same hardware with a different label. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

As far as i know and have ever seen the only differance between OEM and retail is the packaging. And try using ConfigMagic Final, and not one of the older versions, you might have better luck.

You could try...

Maxtor 4R120L0
Samsung SV1204H
WesternDigital WD1200AB

Those 3 are all 120GB and 5400RPM.

Or you can keep checking this harddrive list website someone made from this board, its pretty good and im pretty sure it gets updated as new information comes to light thats not in the list.

2.) IF it is the drive that matters, stay away from MAXTOR... i dont know if it seems like it to you, but a lot of them claim to be "unlockable"

3.) For god sakes, get a 7200 rpm drive... there is no point to search for a 5400. They are becoming hard to find, and besides, there's no point. I dont think anyone with a 7200 rpm(there are lots of us) has had any problem with overheating.

4.) Western Digital RULES! Have always used them, always will... No problems with anything EVER.

By the way, my WD1200JB (7200rpm 8mb cashe) locked on the first try. Maybe my first hunch was wrong, and I did just have a "hit," but that seems strange to me.
