With a PC, you can use ATAPWD.

I can't remember if Config-Magic tells that information or not.

It's not even an issue of whether the software is compatible.  The software asks the drive if it is lockable.  The drive says "no".  

It's not the software saying the drive can not be locked, it is the drive saying the drive cannot be locked.  

The software will go ahead and send the lock commands to the drive, even though it does no good because the drive won't accept lock commands period - regardless of the software.

This is a case of false advertising.  Their website clearly states that all their drives are fully ata compliant and fully supports locking.  The tech support says the exact same thing as well.

There are probably tons of people who don't know much of anything about computers, and the techs are bombarded with stupid questions.  How do I install a hard drive?  How do I install Windows?  How can I connect the hard drive to my microwave?

They probably assume that all people are like this, because 90% are.  So, they give everyone a "canned" response about how "their drives work fine, you need to contact your computer specialist."

You cannot take out your modchip and still use evox unless you are using one of the font/audio/gamesave exploits, which you are probably not using because you have a modchip.

Without a modchip/exploit, you can only use programs endorsed by MS for use on the xbox with the original discs only.

So the answer to your question is NO!

Maxtor 5A300J0 - 300gb - Locking not support with configmagic or in new evox dash   sad.gif


WOW! That will hold a LOT of "goodies"!

Too bad about not locking.  

I bet the XBOX is probably the only device in the whole world that requires a locked hard drive to operate without modification.  blink.gif

Is there a PC tool that will confirm lockability?

I have 4 x WDC 120GB (8MB) SE hard discs (2 older, 2 newer) and I'd prefer to check them before formatting.

Is that possible? Many thanks

Never mind, read the FAQ:

Look you NUMBSKULLS! JUST GET A mAXTOR dRIVE 80GB or ABOVE.

ALL mAXTORS OVER 80 ARE LOCKABLE!

i REPEAT "ALL mAXTORS OVER 80 ARE LOCKABLE!"

I have a 120GB Maxtor HDD, and it will NOT LOCK!! It is Model 4R120L0, one that is know to be not lockable.

Don't make assumptions, unless you have tried all of them.
