With a chip you don't even need to lock the HDD, so you can use config magic or atawap or the chip (depending on what kind it is) to unlock it or just flat out over wright it.
The chip can even be used as an eeprom reader since it can read it right off the mobo.
thankx for the explanation, that made it very clear,
ill buy me a chip somewhere

Most any chip can do all the stuff you listed.
But if you look back you would see that i have already answered that question.

If you don't have a 1.6 i would get an X-2 chip and a solderless install header, that way you can get the HDD to work and you have a quick fix if the same problem ever shows up again.
