Chipped xbox error 21

ok
turn on pc without xbox hdd connected. Secondary ide still free. Does pc boot normally?

 

yes when it is booting up i immediatly push the pause key, then switch cables... push any key, it detects it... but then seems to have those errors i jus mentioned.. my pc is phoenix bios or somthing

 

jumper on xbox hdd should be Master or Cable Select.
Which windows do you have? how old is pc?

 

jumper for pc master (i think it has to be)
jumper for xbox is cable select ( i know )
xp pro, few years old

 

i know in the tuturial it says make sure u turn off xbox with hd connected back to it... or it will leave it unlocked n be fucked.... isnt ther tools to relock it again? or will that only work for modded xbox

 

hmm... you PC looks good.

It should boot up with the xbox hdd. It maybe your bios.

So try this.

Turn on PC without connect the xbox's hdd. log on windows.
Then turn on xbox, wait until microsoft logo appears. Quickly disconnect IDE cable and connect the one from pc to it.

Then on pc, goto Manager => disk managerment. Do you see xbox's hdd in there? if not, goto Action => Rescan disk. Hopefully, xbox hdd shows up.
open up xplorer360 and try to read xbox hdd

 

the xboxhdm can lock hdd again if you have eeprom.

what do you mean by modded xbox? modchip?

 

hmmm not sure at this moment i was jus reading somethin.. thanks ill try your new idea

 

hmm now it says error 16 lmfao

 

wtf

 

although it got error 16, sometimes you still can do hotswap.
Just disconnect ide cable from xbox hdd just right on the error show.

 

are u familiar with XboxHDM? i used hot swap to unlock my drive... then used the xboxhdm... it says i have no partion table then says dont reboot or it will lock.. that tutorial says it has no partion table, so type yes to make one

 

I'm not sure with that.

 

are u familiar with partion tables? or how to create them on a blank HD

 

use xboxhdm to format new hdd. But you need eeprom to lock the hdd so xbox wont give you error 6.

hmm ya i read all those, and i was able to totataly redo my c partion ( it said it worked ), then when i started my xbox up, it says error 16..

 

Okay, im at error 21, i got the hotswap to work, when i open it in xplorer360 it says error atbout FATx or somthing, but then shows all 5 partions..
i backed up partion 3 and 4 to pc... but i cant bring files into xplorer360... how do i do that??
thanks

 

How did you copy partition 3 and 4 to pc? So just drag files from PC to partition 3 and 4.

did you download softmod files 325MB? extract it. you will have C and E folder. Then follow the tut.

 

I have spent the last year trying to fix my friends little brothers xbox. i modded it for him, but within 2 hours he had erased a few files. Well i have tried and tried. Well the regular hot swap didnt work, it caused my system to lockup. But i did it with windows running, it worked perfectly. I havent finnished moving the files to the xbox yet,b ut everything looks good. Thanks!
