I mean not even all the hard drives you could buy followed the spec. Lots didn't support locking and couldn't go in an Xbox back in the day

Hmmm
, so it could be possible I buy a new/used hdd just to discover it cannot be locked...

But if you flash the onboard TSOP flash or use a hard mod then you don't need to worry as custom BIOS don't require locking

Ok, it looks like the best solution.
I'm just wondering if:
a) it's risky (I have a softmodded XBOX; if flashing goes wrong I could "brick" it with no hope of unbricking?)
b) which is the best BIOS release I could use

By the way, are hard mods still sold somewhere?
