    When you put eeprom.bin into the eeprom folder before making the iso, make sure that it is all lowercase, or else it won't work.

    Leave the HDD unplugged.

    Start XboxHDM and load it to the first screen. THEN plug in the HDD, allow a minute for it to be recognised, then try again!

    Hmm...

    Set the jumper to 'Master' and also try burning another XboxHDM.

    Did you use the one from my software page?

    It'll be a motherboard issue then, try using another PC!
