Xbox Harddrive

[peat moss]

A good friend upgraded his xbox harddrive to a wd 120gb for a media center
I took his old 8gb western harddrive from his xbox to use but can't install as slave because of password prompt.Any INFO I find is more to do with linux not windows. Ant idea
how i can get password ? It lets me format, set partion but locks up on boot ask's for password. It looks like any other harddrive thats why i thought i could use it. You know jumper settings and power connection.

[tesco]

no clue that is wierd, try fdisk ing and deleting every partition then recreate them and try it again.

Yes there is some pretty stupid people on this board thats why I checked Google first. If you don&#39;t care to help why bother posting . Most of the info was linux related <_<


PS i&#39;ve tryed a couple of programs I found to no avail
