    Did you lock the HDD?

    Is it the new drive that you are putting in the Xbox?

    you will need to get a chip into it you could also try and boot into the exploitable game before it tries to access the hdd and maybe you could get into some software to relock your drive. id personally go with the chip.

    Ps. i have few spare xbox hdd's if you need one
