Yes, as long as you unplug the IDE connector on the old drive prior to the finish of the unlock procedure. Pretty much if you unplug the IDE connector a couple of minutes after the lights start flashing, a new password will not be issued and the new drive will be accepted back in as though it was never removed.
Reuse HD
I upgraded to a 120 gig drive a few months ago and everything's been fine. Now I want to reuse me original HD in my PC. I understand the instructions for zeroing it out and everything, but something I haven't seen mentioned is this: If I unplug my 120 gig drive so I can zero-out the 40, will all the shows I recorded on the 120 still be there when I plug it back in? I would think so but just wanted to make sure.
