As far as the Xbox is concerned it is still running on an original 8 gigabyte hard drive. With the original BIOS enabled, any additional space seemingly disappears.

When the unit is powered off, the drive goes back into its fully locked state. During startup, the original “protected” bios will temporarily unlock the locked drive during the boot (flubber animation) phase and be none the wiser. Locking the drive permits the Xbox to utilize a replacement drive in the same manner as an OEM drive. You could merely elect to disable this function by setting the chip to “mode 2” that always keeps the flashed bios on. You may also have a Matrix type Mod/Bios chip and want to utilize the dual boot function that makes your machine revert back to the original BIOS. Probably because you are a bit paranoid and believe that you MUST put the Xbox back into it’s pristine state to get XboxLive to work. This being the case, why are you still reading?

The normal bios and first and second generation mod chips were never designed to support drive swapping. If you elect to put a new hard drive in your Xbox you MUST first already have a “mod” chip in the machine that supports hard drive swapping. Even imaging programs such as Norton Ghost will fail to read or duplicate the drive.

It should be also noted that if the drive were to be unlocked the PC would still not understand the drives formatting mechanism so it would still be unable to display its contents. If you place the OEM drive into a PC, the PC bios will be unable to unlock the drive, and the drive will not enter a “ready” state that the PC can deal with. This is a privacy mechanism which was intended to prevent you or hackers from looking at the contents of the original disk. The OEM Xbox hard drive comes from MS in a “locked” condition.
