Sadly Creaky i don't think he's even going to realize what he did to earn his suspension.

For a more on-topic note:
Looks like all he needs is a memory card (i don't know why he wouldn't have one) and the game.

Hey guys, I want to buy a new hard drive for my (Original SoftModded Xbox) I think I am going to buy this

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...f?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1238974729&sr=8-5

What do I do if I get it (or will it not work) just unplug the hard drive out of my XBox put the other one in and load it up? (Then re-softmod it) ??

Thanks in advance!!

 

That's no good, you need an IDE drive.

 

*sigh*

You're making it too hard for yourself for not knowing what to do.

The drive you selected is sata2 therefore you would need an ide to sata converter to run that drive in you xbox if your able to lock it. Really you're better off going with an ide drive that's been tested.

Here's a link to the hard drive i've used in countless xbox's.

To get it to work in your xbox follow the upgrade tutorial.

If you need more instructions or have any problems let me know

 

C4RN1, out of interest is there a maximum size drive you can use? I've got a redundant 500GB sitting here doing nothing..... How would the Xbox handle that (assuming it's lockable)?

 

Hey, Thanks for the quick response. I think I might go with this : http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digit...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1238981754&sr=1-1

and for the upgrade guide I tried that with my current XBox HD (The one it comes with) and I get some wierd errors or something (I am waiting for someone to respond to help me here : )

I might try it with another guide like the one you posted.

 

I think 2tb is the biggest you could go, really the sky's the limit but remember you need an ide to sata adaptor and power adaptor so it's more work, plus it's going to slow down the drive so even if the drive is rated at 3gigs/sec it will cut it down to ata133/100 mbs depending on your ide cable.

The biggest you should go is 500 gigs, i don't see any need for anything over 500 gigs unless you're just a packrat.

That drive looks like it will work great.

Make sure that you use fatx32 to format any partition over 137gigs. If you don't format with 32k clusters you run the risk of having data corruption when that partition fills up.

Just use xbpartitioner from the aid disc and you should be set.

 

How do I fix the Error 6 Message? (Soft Modded)

If I buy a modchip to I have to deal with this locking/unlocking mumbo jumbo ? or can I just buy a IDE hard drive throw it in their have my modchip on and bwam Evox comes up?

 

Errors 5 and 6 are hdd security errors.

5 means the hdd isn't locked, and 6 means the hdd is locked and can't be unlocked.

Usually if you get error 5 you can use a eeprom reader to get the eeprom off the motherboard and then lock you new hdd with the eeprom.

With error 6 it's a hit and miss. If this is the original xbox's hard drive i would just junk it and make a eeprom reader.

follow this tutorial using a new hard drive

If you don't want to junk your old hard drive try to force unlock it.

*edit*
I should add that since you're soft modded you should have your eeprom backed up somewhere. If you have it backed up there's no reason to make the eeprom reader.

 

I have it backed up where can I find the password and stuff to unlock it. And is the password to unlock it diffrent from the one to lock it ?

This is what I have done. I went through the Upgrade HDD Guide with my STOCK HD in my XBox (thinking it would UPGRADE the storage capacity). When I got to the very end of it it suddenly would not lock the HD. I have no idea what to do now I only get error 6

 

What game did you use to softmod the xbox?

 

splinter cell Also if you didnt read what I did i edited the post above

 

If you have the eeprom.bin file you should be set. The password is the same one, they both have to match to work. I really don't know what to tell you right now.

If i were you i would check the eeprom with live info beta 3 to see if it's corrupted or see if it's a virtual eeprom.

After you open live info load your eeprom into the program and it should tell you your serial number and xbox version, this is the easiest way to find out if it's a corrupted or virtual eeprom.

Here's a link to live info beta 3

Thanks only problem is my XBox is so old the serial key has faded out. Anywhere on the inside if can find the serial ?

Hey I opened the HDDINFO notepad file and it says

Disk Serial Number : "WD-WMA9N8836239"
Disk Model Number : "WDC WD80EB-28CGH2

and it completly matches the ones on my HDD's info.

What do we want to lock/unlock it with ? the "HDD Key" or the "XboxHDKey" or the "HDDLockDisablePassword"

I got a new 120 gig IDE Hard drive that will work. when I go to lock it though it says "Command Completled Succesfully" But then it says "Security Locked : NO" then I try to lock it again and it says "Disable Security Enabled First" so I do the unlock command and it turns that off but then I do the Lock again and it repeats everything...

If I get a mod chip do I have to deal with this locking / unlocking stuff or can I just partition a hard drive and throw it in their and it will work.

 

ok heres one for you guiz.

i have this router its an old version of netgear rp614 with wan 10Mbps and lan 10/100.. i bought a new router anyway its in the mail, but im really frustrated with this old one. can anyone tell me why if i have my pc plugged into it before i turn on the xbox, the xbox doesn't recieve an ip? if i unplug the pc and turn on the xbox, the xbox gets an ip.. then i plug in the pc and pc gets an ip-everything is fine

but why do i have to unplug my pc for the xbox to get an ip?? wtf

 

also.. why do you guys want to put a big harddrive in your xbox when you can host everything from a pc? all my movies and games are kept on my pc drive the xbox has a 10/100 lan connection .. its no 1000 but its fast enough to play any movie
