thank you
you say drives how many are there are they all unlocked?
you need to have the hdd lock key to lock the drive to a specific xbox and unless you have a backup or a means of getting the hdd key from the eprom you wont be able to lock it no mater what you do, but if you have one hdd that is locked and boots then you can hot swap from the xbox to lock it to that xbox.
i dont think you can pull the lock key from an unlocked hdd unless you made a back up on there somewhere.
