So, I was given a non-working Xbox for free. After diagnosis, the optical (DVD) drive is bad. I am going to scrap the console, but I want to keep the hard drive as an external drive for the pc. Internet searches tell me that I need to unlock it. OK. I found lots of info on this, but most of it is written for people who "speak geek". I, unfortunately, do not. I followed two videos on Youtube, to no avail. I simply need to know how to do this, in plain English, please.
The Xbox is fully functional, save for reading or recognizing any discs. A replacement optical drive costs more than a functional Xbox in my location, so repair is out. I simply want to salvage what I can from this unit. The rest is going to the scrapyard.
Thanks in advance for helpful replies. BTW, I'm not what you would call "computer saavy". Thanks again.
