Found an old xbox and a locked 1.5tb xbox drive stored away. The thing is I had a few xboxes back in the day and am not sure if the hard drive is from that xbox.

I want to try it in the xbox. Before I do so if the drive is locked with an eeprom different from the xbox will it do any permanent damage?

Just being cautious. Thanks in advance.

No. It won’t do anything permanent but it’ll give you an Error 6 when you try and boot if they don’t match. Other than that you should be fine though.

I had a look and the fog of time is lifting. I was mistaken in my first post. I already had an upgraded 500GB PATA drive in the Xbox. The 1.5TB drive is a SATA drive I purchased back then to upgrade the 500GB but never got around to it. The 1.5TB was never used in an XBOX.

My finally get around to putting in the 1.5TB after ten years!

Thanks for the replies.
