I'm not sure how that would work, unless I'm misunderstanding what I wrote=

those options to do.

=2De eeprom means obtain the password from the eeprom.

/dev/hdd is the device to lock. But, only the xbox has an eeprom, and it ha=

only a single IDE channel, so only hda and hdb would make sense.

I suspect if you ran dmesg, you would see the kernel oops'ed, which is what=

led to the segfault..   If you weren't locking your boot device, go back an=
d=20
look at /var/log/messages and see if the oops is there.  If so, and it's a=
=20
recent 2.6 version kernel, you can report a bug to the kernel folks. =20

Beyond that, I suspect there is not much you can do to recover the drive.

Might be worth contacting the helpful company you purchased it from and=20
explain that it no longer works and try to return it. I wouldn't suggest=20
mentioning what you did to it.
