can we now hope for a final sdboot ? Just wondering for those of you who may have dumped the contents of a HDD from a NPDP if there is any protection on the disk, is it locked to the board similarly to how Xbox locked their HDD's where you'd need to boot up the system for them to become unlocked (readable)? next question is if there's any file system on it, or just 4 fixed offsets for the images to sit at? If I've missed an obvious thread on this forum about this topic, feel free to point it out to me, I'm unable to find anything this specific about the layout of the data on the disk. Thanks in advance, any info is appreciated. 1. Encrypted 2. Only one person afaik has broken the xor 3. It has a file system, of course. 4.Many topics on this Thanks, after getting my head out of the sand I was able to realize how easy it is to grab the XOR key & do what I wanted
