Locked Hard Drives. Options

[3800sc]

I have 3 laptop hard drives that I had used in a modded xbox that I eventually sold. I never unlocked them before selling the box and now I need them to fix a laptop. Is there ANY way to unlock these without the xbox I locked them with? Thanks!

it is free, and comes on xboxhdm under dos disk unlocking tools. or you find it on the internet..
its a dos program though so you need to boot it from a cd or something..
so xboxhdm is probably the easiest way to get it,
i dont know if it will work using a usb though. could depend on how your bios treats the usb. its 50/50

if you use xboxhdm. just chose dos unlocking tools then type atapwd when everything is done scrolling

i guess you could try and run it through the cmd. but i doubt it would work.

Thanks a ton! I was able to unlock all 3 hard drives. One of them was an SSD that I was paranoid I would never be able to use again. You da' man
