hello,
put in a new drive tonight (40GB/WD/7200), all went smooth (appreciate the noob guide!). had everything set up and the last "test" i ran was to boot with the mod disabled. got the error code 5 (5 - kernel - HDD not locked (retail bioses require the hd to be locked)). searched the forums and read a post about using CofigMagic live. i have that app installed and was going to use it, but first checked out X3CL setting about locking. i saw that it had "hard drive lock:disable", so i enabled it and rebooted without mod. MS dash came up just fine.
wanted to confirm that this is all i'll have to do as far as locking the harddrive? should i leave the X3CL lock setting as enabled? is it normal after setting up a new drive with X3 to have to lock it also? (if so that should be added to the noobie guide)
thanks, X3 is an amazing piece of work....

when you enable or disable the locking of the drive in X3CL that is unlocking or locking the drive so you shouldn't have to use config magic but just to make sure enable it in X3CL then check config magic to see if it says the drive is already locked because it should
