A little recap ..one of my XBOX burn (years ago) ..and obviously dont have make a backup of KEY (.bin) ..
..so how re use this old "MAXTOR DiamondMax Plus 9 da 160Gb (6Y160P0 - YAR41BW0)" ??
..connect HDD to PC and use a tool (dont remember which) to check the state

Re: How i have unlock XBOX HDD
So you have a Maxtor hard drive that was in an Xbox but the Xbox broke and now you want to unlock it without using an eeprom backup. Is that right?
The tool you linked to seems to only unlock drives and shouldn't erase their contents. I'm just going off of what I'm reading in that and other forums.

Remember kids, always zero-ize your HDD key!

Re: How i have unlock XBOX HDD
Yeah the data is more than likely still there if the tool just unlocks the drive.
The tool you're talking about is called "Xplorer360". It's a Windows program that read/writes to FATX partitions.
