There is a need for law enforcement officials to examine the contents of long-term storage devices, such as hard drives. This includes even hard drives that are part of video game systems, such as Microsoft's Xbox. The hard drive on an Xbox is password protected or "locked", making examination time consuming, as the password has to be "cracked". However, upon the Xbox being powered up, the Xbox unlocks its drive. The present invention makes use of this feature and teaches systems and methods of allowing the Xbox (and similar devices) to unlock their drives, and then switching control of the drive to a second host.
