    Yup used the one from my original HD and i formatted it completely with Xbox HD Maker. I did it before but with a 200 gig for my brother in law. and i know it can support a 250

    not all harddrives are lockable regardless of what program you use

    not sure about other chips but the X3's tell you if the drive is lockable or not once installed and there are a good number of online forums that tell which drives are and are not.
