JaKSLaP Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Hi Guys; I have picked up a faulty XBOX over the weekend which has an error 5 code. I removed the drive and connected to my PC with FatXplorer and I am able to view the contents of the drive. Which means obviously it is unlocked. Is there any way I can lock the hard drive and re-install it in the XBOX? What options do I have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary The Brown Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 You'll need to get a copy of the EEprom so you can use the HDD key inside to lock it. https://consolemods.org/wiki/Xbox:EEPROM is some information that'll help getting it.

HDShadow Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 If the Xbox was modded and it sounds like it must have been or how could it be unlocked you should check for a an E:\Backup folder to see if a copy of the eeprom is in there. If not but the Xbox has exploit game saves still in UDATA check the installer: E:\UDATA\21585554\000000000000\ for a Backup folder. Its the default location for an eeprom backup save before/during/after install if another location was not specified. Otherwise you likely going to have to go down the eeprom reader route and TBH that is as much hassle as fitting a cheap chip so the latter is probably the better solution to getting the Xbox booting again.
