I am trying to unlock my xbox hdd and put it in my computer, but i am having trouble with xboxhdm. I burnt the disc using the slowest speed possible with the eeprom.bin in the right folder. I boot up xboxhdm tap 3 and then wait for the console to load
then i get the To attempt to unlock a drive type 'unlockhd' window i type unlockhd -a and then it gives me a No drive found on Primary Master! Shutdowwn, attach drive and try again... message. I have my hdd connected corretly and my  dvd drive is also connected. I have my DVD drive on my primary master and hdd on primary slave. My jumpers are in exactly where the xbox had them. thanks

I have ran into that problem a couple of times.
Things to check. First, have you checked the hard drive compatibility list?
I have also had some trouble with different DVD drives.
Changing to a CD drive might also help.

Also does it say frozen drive? If so, try disabling auto detect in the BIOS.
Sometime I have made it work by waiting until the BIOS doesnt detect it, and then quickly connecting the
hard drive. The linux boot will detect it, and all should be good.

Hope that helps.

well, the hard drive currently works on my xbox because i locked it myself before... but now the drive isnt even recognised i might try to use a CD drive tomorrow.

have the power cable hooked up and start the PC
right after the bios loads and the CD starts to boot, plug in the IDE cable.
Windows can't / won't see the drive because it's locked....
but Linux can (XBOXHDM)

might take a couple of times but you can unlock it like that.

The hard drive is supposed to be on primary master, and dvd drive on primary slave

HDD drive primary master and DVD drive Primary master as well :D

Lol i use dvd on secondary slave and hdd on primary slave and it works just fine.

ok, i was able to unlock and put it as my computers main hdd. I connected a CD drive to my secondary master and the hdd to the primarry master and it worked
