reuse old hdd for something ellse

[Lexieye]

good afternoon all

i upgraded my hard drive and want to use the old one for something totally different.

is there a way to reset the HD and totally factory format the drive to FAT32?

i unlocked the drive using the XBOX and plugged it into my pc. Using Disks i used the NULL KEY as a password to access it but i still don't have permission to write to or format the 500gig WESTERN-DIGITAL.

so am i just stuck with an old backup of the XFAT IDE?

please help

You will need to remove all the partitions form the drive I use a PC program called "EuseUS partition Master" as this will remove all the Xbox partitions then to can use the same program to create a new single partition suitable for you PC to format.

If the HDD is unlocked you don't need the key as a unlocked drive has no key and a nulled key is just a lock code off all zeros (32 zeros )or the new rocky5's key is now all one's (32 ones ) sounds like the drive may still be locked.
