I need to know how to get my xbox hard drive back to retail state. I tried to softmod and it went wrong, i need to reformat it.
You can use the hotswap trick to connect your xbox hdd to your PC and rebuild your hdd using xboxhdm.
Do you have a link to how to do the hotswap trick? Why is it neccassary to hotswap? Also I tried slayers, but either you have to have a mod chip to run it, or else my xbox is to old/screwed up to run it, because I tried to put slayers on a dvd and run it in my xbox and no luck. Thanks for the help!
punqewe is right the easiest way is with one of the many auto installers avaialable its real easy that way
you have to hotswap because the hard drive is locked. your computer wont be able to use it. so unplug your dvd drive from the xbox just 1 cable will work. now turn it on. you should get an error screen. now unplug the ribbon cable from the hard drive leaving the power cable still attached. plug it into your computer and power it on. get your pc to work with it. now you can alter the stuff on it.
Since you are softmodding, there is no way to boot Slayer disk on your xbox. Slayer does not run on PC. That is why hotswap is needed. and that is why xboxhdm is needed.
