When is the drive unlocked? The Xbox HD DOES NOT unlock when your xbox boots into an error 6 or 7. The drive is usually unlocked for a short period on Xbox Errors 11, 12, 13, 16, & error 21, but Errors 11 & 12 are the preferable errors to do the hotswap. It is also unlocked inside the m$ dash, and also during gameplay. You need to turn them on at the same time. Hit the pause key before it detects the drives. Connect the pc's ide cable to the xbox hd. Then hit the space bar. You should make a XboxHDM disc.
yes i did that already, i have made the bootable iso with XboxHDM. the pc detects the xbox hdd but when i boot the cd it tells me no drive found and then asks to reboot....and now im getting error 16 with a game in the dvddrive..hey u sound like u know alot about dat, so i wondering if u wud b able to link me at dangerfield_1895@hotmail.com so u cud gimme a step by step process..thankx
It sounds like the drive is not unlocked. When you disconnect the xbox hd, try not to shake. If you shake it, the hd will become locked.
Here's some tutorials for you, remember the search feature is your friend... Hotswap Can Fix Xbox With Error 13, 14, 16, 20 And 21. HOW TO: Hotswap with XboxHDM v1.9 (Super Tutorial) Dark he's trying to get the xbox to throw a code 12 so the hdd stays unlocked. It's a proven way to keep the hdd unlocked while hotswaping. Anyway just follow either of the tutorials and make sure to use the dvd trick to induce error 12.
