The xbox hard drive is password protected so if the swap trick is not used the pc will detect your xbox 8gig hard drive and when you load fdisk it will say no fixed disk present.

You should keep this hard drive as a backup or reinsert it if you sell your xbox.

If you really, really want to fdisk it, I'd try this program. Be careful. Be very, very careful.

Can't see why you can't winhex it to all 0's...

Actually, that program I pointed you to might not work.

The password has to be sent to the drive as it powers on or it won't "open up", so you would have to hotswap the drive with the xbox and the pc...
