i am trying to softmod an unmodded xbox. i was not aware of the ide adapter issue with locking drives. i was hoping xboxhdm usb 2.2 would help since it doesnt require a primary ide channel.

You have to provide more details on what exactly you were trying to do, for example:
1. Are you doing a hdd upgrade or hotswapping to softmod?
2. Are you following any tutorial? Which one? How did you prepare/format the usb drive?
3. Disabling dvd drive in Windows Device manager doesn't do anything useful since xboxhdm is Linux.
4. Are you aware for the most part, an usb ide adapter won't be able to lock a new hdd unless it uses specific chipset?
i tried to use your guide with qemu and it got me the farthest out of my other attempts but xbrowser nor xboxhd can pick up an xbox partison
