hard drive is locked to the xbox, must be unlocked before it can be used in a pc.

If you have a backup of the eprom file on your pc, you can use hd unlock.

If not, you can physicaly remove the eprom from the dead motherboard and put it on a good one, then unlock the drive...

Most likly though, you have a paperweight...

Is the drive just the stock 8 or 10 gig drive?

Or was this a big drive that was put into it?

If it was an upgrade drive, it might have been locked with configmagic in wich case you can follow one of the tutorials for unlocking it!

If it was just an 8 or 10 gig drive, then it is hardly worth the effort since you can get them for about $10 on ebay....
