Hi guyz, i have a problem installing my hd in my(soft mod) xbox . 1. I have a soft mod xb with no chip in stalled in my xb. 2. I have a computer with no floppy. 3. I ftp the c+e folders from xb to xbohdm.(put fils in proper place in folders) 4. i burnned a iso of the xboxhdm to alcohol 120 . I also switch new drive to cable select. But when i put the new drive in the xb it just stays on the ms screen. Dont know what to do next im stuck i have a 120gb seagate 7200 hd. ( oh I even locked the drive back) but nothing happens please point mein the right direction .. thank you or feel free to aim me Nebulis33.
well i thought i done that when i copied the files From ftp to my pc i thought it took care of all of that. i pressed back up on my soft mod just to get the right files updated. Ok here's a good question. can I change the hard drive on a soft mod xb without a installed mod chip in the xb.? and If so How can I do it .
If your using XboxHDM, chose option 1 after both HD's are connected IDE(not for sure about SATA), then choose the option to clone hd, if you HDD your are cloning is the master, then type in hda, and for the HDD that is being cloned to, type in hdb. I've done this sometimes and the screen has lasted for 5 hours+,I just turned off PC and locked the new HDD and placed in Xbox. Worked with jumper settings on master.
You have to lock the drive using your eeprom. Get it off of your old hard drive using something like "Config Magic" or "EvoX" and recreate the Xboxhdm image including the eeprom in the folder titled "eeprom". Then after you have your hard drive created, lock it using the third option and use the switch: "lockhd -a". You don't have to mess around with the jumpers, just put it to CS and you'll be fine.
