I did something very stupid. I wanted to softmod my xbox using this tutorial.
1. I was able to unlock my xbox.
2. I used xplorer360 to back up my Xbox Hdd. (Its about 7 gigs.)
3. Now the stupidest thing I did was not follow instructions.
I downloaded Shademand's Ready Made Xbox SoftMod.
Since it was an image I renamed it to XboxBackup.bin and used Xplorer to restored drive.
(You can burn me I deserve it.)
Now since I f*cked up for now following instructions. Did I ruin the Xbox HDD or is there any way I can restore it. I tried to hotswap it again following the tutorial but I had no luck.
Please point me in the right direction.
When it sounds too good to be true, it usually is!!

I dont have the tut for upgrading hdd. But there is a way to do. YOu just need eeprom.bin, xboxhdm1.9, Shademand's Ready Made Xbox SoftMod, new big hdd. Then follow the xboxhdm's instruction.
I have links on my page. Just follow the link in my sig and look for xboxhdm.
@bronx
Yes, you can use this method to softmod the xbox. But you did not copy C and E files of Shademand's softmod to partition 3 and 4 of xbox's hdd.
Now what happened to the xbox's hdd? is it still locked or unlocked?
what error code do you have now?

Hi
(Sry 4 my englisch)
I have also a problem.
I tried about 10 times, but xplorer360 and FatXexplorer didn't find my xbox hdd.
I have both hdd on a ide cable, so my pc hdd on the primaire ide controler, and the xbox hdd on the second ide controler.
I have boot the xbox, and pull out the ide cable when "micosoft"is comming on the screen. then i connect it to my pc, and continue booting.
The boot takes about 10 times longer as normal (without he xbox hdd)
I tried disconnecting the cable directly as microsoft in comming on the screen, but also wait a few sec. (from 1 to 4 secs)
When i look by device manager, i see the xbox hd.
i have no idea what that can be.

The way you connect xbox's hdd to pc is WRONG.
PC's hdd is on Primary IDE cable.
Xbox's hdd is on Secondary IDE cable.
There are 2 IDE calbes on PC. So PC's hdd and Xbox's hdd are NOT on the same IDE cable.

I have that to.
I used 2 cables for connecting the harddisks.
I must quickly switch the ide-cable from xbox-hdd to the pc ide cable. How many time may take this?
If i pull the cable out the xbox, and put it 3 secs later in the pc, is that to slow?
I think that i did the rest corect.

Hi Guys, after much delay I finally took the plunge and hotswapped my son's Xbox... now I have it up on Exp360 and am not seeing the E: drive, aka part04, and everything on the C: drive, aka part03 looks intact? I know this is somewhere on this forum, but I don't have unlimited time to look :( so I hope ya'll take pity on this No0b and help me out... I don't want to softmod or anything, but I've gone this far so if I need to, well I guess I can tackle it... but I ordered a modchip; the XeniumGold and it was supposed to be solderless, now it shows that I have to solder the LCP to get to the actual modding...!?! so, I thought I would see if I could fix it the hotswap way first BEFORE I totally ruin the thing! lol
Anyway, how do I get the E: drive partition back? do I have to format and if so, how?
TIA, Virginia

ps... when I click on File/Drive/Open/Memcard... it also after a few seconds gives me an error of "Out of data while reading cluster chain map table" and an "ok" button... maybe the partition is acutally there, but there's something else going on?
Thanks for help :) Virg

ok, so I thought maybe it was Exp360 so I downloaded the beta4 and now it also comes up with error, "No FATX partition found at requested offset." ?? it surely looks as if I lost the e partition... so I am sure I must format etc... help?!? TIA, Virginia

@Active03
Usually within 4 tries, you should get it. I think you are fast enough.
Something you should watch when do hotswap:
- when you connect xbox's hdd to pc, pc still boots NORMALY like without xbox's hdd connected. IF PC take too much time to load up, then you have connections problem. And xplorer360 will not see xbox's hdd.
- Make sure you disconnect the xbox's hdd AFTER you see microsoft logo shows up.
So now what error code do you have?
@trip2378
you can do hotswap with error 16. So connect the dvd drive back to xbox. When you do hotswap, make sure you disconnect IDE cable from xbox's hdd JUST BEFORE xbox goes to error 16.
So before doing hotswap, turn xbox on and off couple of times. Watch closely when xbox goes to error 16. Now you know the time, then do hotswap.
@DeerMtn
Did you successfully do hotswap? I mean you can see partition 3 on xplorer360 but you don't see partition 4. Is this right?
Which error code do you have?
For Xenium, follow the link in my sig. Then look for Xenium. I have a good link.

thank you a thousand times, TheReturn! I screwed up my xbox but this tutorial did the trick. Now my wife won't kill me.
I don't know if it really helped or not, but I was only able to successfully keep the hdd unlocked by putting in a game disc to buy some time removing the ide cable.

when turn on PC, hit the break/pause key while it's scanning the memory.
After you connect xbox's hdd to PC, then continue boot up. IF PC restart, boot up very slow, or hang, then the way you connect xbox's hdd to pc is WRONG.
PC's hdd is on Primary IDE cable.
Xbox's hdd is on Secondary IDE cable.
There are 2 IDE calbes on PC. So PC's hdd and Xbox's hdd are NOT on the same IDE cable.

if you have error 16, your hdd is still locked. Try to do hotswap again, if xplorer360 read xbox hdd then restore the hdd.
