It's only possible to use an Xbox HDD if it's unlocked. All Xbox HD's are locked to the Motherboard ID, so it can't be accessed in your atypical PC.

Now, i'd like to know if this fatx driver can be used to access an unlocked fatx HD connected to a i386 machine that is booting the reactOS live CD.
Am i dreaming? Or can this be done?
I just want to know if i could recover my multimedia files from the F partition using my PC some day.
Yes it can be. Our vfatfs.sys has been tested in Windows before so it should work if you wanted to do it now. Installing our driver on Windows would be a bit of a pain because you would need to manually add the service and tell Windows to use it to mount that drive but I know some people have tested the driver before under Win2k.
I'm not sure if it is possible to access a real xbox disk on a pc . I've done some testing with our vfat driver on w2k. I've used the fatx file system. The fatx file system was installed in a normal partition with the type 0xaa. The disk driver must identify the xbox disk and must create partition device objects. I'm not sure if disk.sys is able to do this. I've never used a disk from a xbox because I don't own one.
