Found a tutorial on xbox-scene forum for unlocking xbox hdd's (Only the 10Gb Seagate St310014ace model) that have been locked and for whatever reason (broke mtoherboard/duff eeprom etc.) the drive's couldn't be unlocked - until now

The tutorial is easy to follow, and simple to build the interface (i got all the bits from maplin for under a fiver (apart from the strip-board which i already had).
Worked fine and i've now got a working 10Gb drive to use in a spare PC.
Not everyone will be interested in this method, just thought i'd draw it to peoples attention to it.
If you try to build it and get stuck let me know and i'll try to help out.

PS all credit goes to the guys who discovered this method in the first place. I'm just sharing the info.
