I was just wondering if you could use a harddrive from a computer and put it in an xbox?

I can answer that question wes. lol my mom has a trailerwith a small shed and five missing comps going all the way back to win 3.1 days, she thinks they are in the shed but, she being a pack rat she has enough stuff in there to fill 3 or 4 small sheds. Still unsure how how she did it. Lol _________________

I remembered that i gave it to my friend because he wanted to try and fix it like 3 years ago.When i asked him where it was he said he destroyed it because he couldn't fix it.

If your console is chipped, there is no need to lock the harddrive unless you intend on going to MS live.
I never lock my drives, but I don't do softmods or go live.

you should be able to pick a drive up on your local kijiji or craiglist for cheap, like $10. Just make sure you zero wipe the drive to make a fresh.

I found an 83.2Gb harddrive on craiglist for $30 but i can't afford it.I have only $20.I'm going to try and scrape together the last $10.
