i got a 120 gig wd, but it wont lock, i tried every single mode and i even tried using the WD ide cable...does anyone think i might be able to lock it with my comp + the comp software?

if not.... is there such thing as a hdd switch, so i can switch to my original xbox hdd when i want to play on live, and maybe make an external box for it?

UnlockX

Try this program. I have the WD 120 gb hd and I tried some other programs to lock/unlock it and I locked it but couldn't unlock it. I thought I had really screwed it up and would have to buy a new one. After much searching on the net I found this and it worked like a charm. You have to copy a bunch of files to the floppy along with the unlockx.exe, like sys.com and stuff, but it will tell you everything. Well good luck, I saw somewhere that not all of the WD Drives will lock, but mine did and hopefully yours will too.

Is your drive the Special Edition w/ 8MB of cache? And is it a retail-boxed unit, or OEM?
