so if i just put the drive in, then boot with a winxp in drive it will see the drive and format are you sure

Are the drives unlocked?

not sure and im not putting them back in the xbox to unlock them

Mr.Cookie

steve no, you use the windows 98 start up disk to reconfig the drive, winxp won't see them at all, and you need to unlock them which i forgot (cheers HHxx)
