Op needs to go to jail!
Okay, but this isn't just some regular old Xbox dev kit. This is the Xbox dev kit. Only 50 of these exist and all of them were used to work on very early Xbox games and software. Sure, maybe the HDD is corrupted, but being such an early version it could contain any number of important finds. Alpha builds of release titles, early versions of the dashboard, or even the insanely small chance it has documentation on the proprietary GPU that remains the largest hurdle to getting an Xbox emulator working. Can you really fault people for caring? And claiming the HDD is corrupt or unreadable... So people should just not try to recover anything at all? I have hard drives in my possession pushing 10 years that still run fine, including the ones in my original Xboxes, which are even older.
As for the abuse, it would be one thing if OP actually responded, but he's just so fucking dense and has no clue what he's doing even though multiple people have repeatedly explained to him what it is and why it's important. Not that that justifies it or anything.
I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

Get the fuck over it you child.
Says the dude who's obviously upset and acting like a child. But ok.
Also I'll list my response like you did because I guess typing in paragraphs is hard for you or something.
I don't give a fuck if it was gods own personal xbox dev kit, the chances of getting anything of substance from a partitioned HDD is near zero.
Data recovery expert mrpenguinx has performed his latest miracle: the diagnosis of a corrupted drive THROUGH THE INTERNET with NO PHYSICAL CONTACT *gasp*
And sure, you could argue back "WELL HOW DO YOU KNOW THERES ANYTHING IMPORTANT ON IT AHHHH IM SO ANGRY" but that's the point: I don't know and neither do you. But what I do know is being in that machine means it could hold something important by several orders of magnitude more than any other dev kit HDD. Or maybe it's just been reformatted and the data is lost forever... But you don't know that.
Depends, are you 8 years old? Because this is how 8 year olds behave.
That's an admirable leap in logic right there. I say people care about preserving games' history, therefore.. they're children? I mean, feel free to believe that, but you'd be wrong and also stupid.
He told you a million times the HDD was empty you dumb fucks
Right, the same genius who thought putting computer parts on a carpet was okay and can't grasp why anyone would want the hardware from a 15 year old computer totally knows what he's doing with that hard drive
First of all, the fact you couldn't be assed to read any of the countless "responses" OP gave
So now you're just making shit up, right? I obviously read his comments, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to point out how dense he is in my last comment.
just tells me you guys didn't care and just wanted to get your rocks off harassing someone you don't even know.
Right, I'm responsible for the collective piling on the guy. I'm responsible for every individual comment in that thread calling OP an idiot. You've caught me. Excellent work, detective. Haul me away.
Yeah, no. Saying this after directly implying that it does justify it doesn't suddenly wash your hands of all your sins. It only makes you a coward.
"All my sins", how poetic. Oh no Billy did something dumb on the internet and now people are mad at him :(((((
By that logic you're sinning pretty hard right now because you called me a child and said the F word and hurt my feelings :(((
But really all you've done is make another leap in logic (who's the child here again?) Just because I call someone an idiot, doesn't mean I advocate carte blanche harassment of them
