hey guyz, i figured out that if you're running Windows Vista, you just need to run xplorer360 as administrator and you're all done in just one click... almost done=)

does any body know why my xbox still boot on the old dashboard even though i executed the mhackxbox successfully (i think)???....... I also need to know how to install enigmah using a dvd..... my xbox is on pal and i just can see anything from it... when i tried booting up the enigmah from the dvd+rw, it did but when I pressed the b button and reboot, nothing happens =(........ its still black and white (moving screen).... i also tried putting some dummy files (ps game) and it went into evox...... is it with the dvd+rw disk? or the enigmah? or should i burn it on xiso?
If i hotswap the xbox hd again (if extremely necessary), should it be on the partion 3?

To reemphasize my previous: I softmodded using a generic IDE enclosure, with xplorer360 Beta 5, from winxp home. For me it didn't work with older xplorer360 versions, and it didn't work until I realized the grounding issue. Tie the enclosure and xbox's grounds together and use the enclosure's molex power connector. Other than that, it was all the standard softmod procedure. Original xbox btw.
Best of luck..

I just screwed up a softmod and have Error 14.
I am pretty new to this, but is it possible to put my hard drive in a friends xbox with modchip, use auto installer deluxe on it(using modchip single click install) and then FTP to the xbox to copy the contents of mhackxbox.rar tot the appropriate partitions? And afterwards put the hard drive back in my xbox. Will this work?
I have no backup whatsoever.
Also, I don't get the microsoft logo.
And last, is it possible (if above won't work) to save my xbox by buying a modchip?
Thanks in advance

the other thing is I have been looking at this site quite alot recently and it beats the absoulute hell outta me how you guys work all this out.I modded 2 ps2 consoles a couple of weeks ago with 160gb hdd in them,so I thought I would try it out on the kids xbox.
All I wanted to do was put a bigger hdd into it.Now I have got an xbox crystal which I am just going to soft mod and I was looking for the easiest way to put the hdd in I have ftp software I just need some help with making sure I don't screw this one up for the kids.
Any help would be appreciated.Ioriginally thought that because xbox was microsoft which is a p.c kind of thing that Iwould have conquered this by now.Ihave been trying to figure this out.what a nightmare

you know about files c and e.what I have got in front of me god bless him,is my dads hardmodded xbox which will to a certain extent will accept any hdd.Ihave a 160gb hdd full of games which will work in the hard modded one.could I not ftp the files c and e from the hardmodded one over to the softmodded one then,Iam only assuming that the 160gb should work in the softmodded xbox.Please forgive me if I am wrong,it was just a theory,providing that I back it all up.

Swapping hard drives into a hardmodded box can be easy, but as to softmodding, you MUST get hold of the eeprom.bin from the stock hard drive in the non-hardmodded xbox BEFORE messing with it too much. Have a look thru the 1st link i posted..

please correct me if I am wrong,but if I ftp from the stock hdd to my p.c and look in drive c and E, the eeprom file I think is in there as a bin file.can I overwrite the eeprom file on to my 160gb so then it would marry up with my softmodded xbox?

You need to slow down a bit :) :)
..you need to softmod a stock xbox before being able to access it's eeprom.bin, then you can go about swapping the hard drive.
The good thing about softmods is that you can back them out and restore the xbox to stock very easily. But you really need to read thru those links a bit. What's very important is not losing the eeprom.bin for a stock drive.
What i do is softmod a machine, then save it's eeprom.bin to a save area on my pc, then i either return the hard drive to stock or leave it softmodded (if i'm putting a bigger hard drive in i mean); if a bigger hard drives goes in i always put the original hard drive away safely, just as an extra backup. I have all the eeprom.bins for my various boxes plus all required xbox programs & utilities in a save area on my pc and a copy of those in a USB2.0 hard drive.
I only put bigger hard drives in a few xboxes, the rest are used purely to access movies and music across the network.
As to a hardmodded xbox it's in some ways easier to swap a hard drive, but again you need to know what you're doing first. I've softmodded (including backing out) and swapped hard drives quite a few times and i also have a couple of chipped xboxes, but i haven't messed with chipped xboxes (hardly) enough to guide you more.
As i say, read thru those links for the softmodding, i can help you with the softmodding side of things fairly well, but the hardmodding might need some other guys/girls here who are much better experienced with those.

Tell you what, to save us taking this thread off track too much, why don't you start a new thread in the relevant xbox forum then reply to this one with a link for your thread, then we can go thru it in more detail in there.
Also have a read thru this - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_jump.cfm/557450/3558187 it's a step by step of my first attempt at softmodding. Some steps won't necessarily be relevant to you but it's fairly basic but detailed at the same time..

*sigh* Hello. I was spring cleaning my Xbox like a moron, and now it gives me error code 21. :( On my computer, I have SATA hard drives and SATA optical drives. I have been trying to hotswap my Xbox's IDE cable with one that I've hooked up to the secondary IDE.
Checklist:
- I do have the Microsoft logo that shows under the Xbox before going into the error.
- I have downloaded all necessary software like ms-dash-mik3h, TRF-Xbox Tools, mhackxbox, xplorer360v0.9b2, and Shademand's Ready Made Xbox SoftMod.
I have tried doing this both in and out of Windows and have tried these with and without a game in the drive, and I can't seem to get Xplorer360 to see my HDD to save my life. I have also tried going through error 12 by disabling the Xbox's DVD drive. I can't try the method of doing this while playing a game because I can't get it to play a game even (part 2 of my stupidity was using AID to restore apparently the wrong version of the MS dashboard).
Buying a used Xbox for $50 isn't even the issue anymore -- this has become personal. Why, oh why, can everyone else under the sun get the right? Please help me. If I've left out information that you wonderful folks need, please let me know and I'll respond as quickly as I possibly can. Thanks in advance!

@leeroy94: if you're talking to me, then I have the xboxhdm_v1.9 file but haven't done anything with it. Just kinda went on a wild downloading spree trying to get anything and everything that could possibly help. :o) Again, though...haven't used it. I do know that nothing I put in the DVD-ROM seems to get past that lovely error code 21.
As far as primary vs. secondary IDE, I was just trying to go by TheReturn's instructions where he says:
Quote:
So the other ide cable (secondary) is used for hotswap. Remove all drives on this ide cable before doing hotswap.
