C64MidRezzie Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Hi - I have an unlocked SATA 500GB xbox drive that is nearly full with games, emulators and the like. I want to make a backup copy of the drive using Raw Copy - any advice or instructions on how to do this? I have a PC with a spare HDD slot and and an external drive caddy. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 How is your Xbox modded? The hard drive will have to be UNLOCKED for the PC and HDD Raw Copy to read the content to create the backup. Select the type of backup file to be created: - .imgc - compressed backup - .img - uncompressed backup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C64MidRezzie Posted August 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 The drive was already unlocked and I have successfully cloned it - I only have a softmodded xbox so how do I lock it? Could I lock it in Chimp if I hotswap it as a slave drive or since it's a SATA drive could I use the windows version of HDM 2? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikeymikey Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 The easiest way to lock it would be to use xboxhdm23 on your pc with a sata to usb adapter, if you don't have the adapter i believe you can use an older version that doesn't support usb.

I have the SATA drive attached via USB in an external hard drive enclosure - is that the same thing? Any links on how to use and lock a drive in HDM23 - I googled it and couldn't find much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikeymikey Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 All you can do is run the xboxhd.bat file and when presented with the 5 options choose number 1 to see if your device has been detected. If it has you can use the option to lock the drive. You will need a copy of your eeprom in the root xboxhdm23 folder for this to work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C64MidRezzie Posted August 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Thanks for the help - it turned out that I could lock the SATA drive using HDM V1.9 by connecting my SATA drive using a Startech SATA to IDE adapter to my Dell Optiplex pc - it worked like a charm - delighted!
