A while back my friend tried to mod my xbox using a softmod, sadly it failed. Untill recently I haven't discovered that my old xbox could be repaired from "error 21". Can someone please explain to me how to do this, step by step, using the master cables from my computer to my xboxharddrive?
I have two xboxes, mine (error 21) and my friends (error 16). My friends xboxhdd is currently hooked up to my computer through the primary master.
If you made an Xbox Backup in the Softmod menu, then you can boot up the Xbox game you used to softmod with, and just restore your backup, that is, if your Xbox still boots disks. Some do, and some don't.
I tried gaining acess to the xbox hdd through hotswap, but I can't get Xplorer360 to find my HDD when its plugged into the primary master slot -.-
Someone told me that I need to set the jumpers on the xboxhdd and pchdd to CS, I'm going to try this and see if it works alright... Oh, and neither of my xboxes can boot disks -.-
The Xbox HDD will be CS anyway, all CS does is let the PC make the decision on which drive is bootable with respect to the position on the cable! Shouldn't matter in our case as the Xbox one isn't bootable!!! As for not finding it, try and try again. The 'Hotswap' is a bitch at finding the drive, but it does find it! I no longer hotswap, ever, as I have an eeprom reader! It'll work, just persevere with it! Also make sure that the white 'Microsoft' logo appears BEFORE you unplug the IDE! Just don't turn your Xbox off without plugging the IDE cable back in first!!!
