    7 - kernel - HDD timeout

    Most of the times, the IDE cable is not properly connected when you see this error. Please reattach the ide cable. Not only to the harddisk drive but also to the dvd drive. ALso try to reconnect the ide cable to the motherboard.

    Press pretty hard so it goes all the way in. Make sure it is seated straight and proper in the drives and the motherboard. If you still have an error 7. Try another ide cable. If that won't work try another harddisk. If there is still no go, try to set the jumpers on the rearside of the harddisk drive. Set it to master or cable select.

    im not sure if this will work with error 7..but try to disconect the back of the dvd drive [bold]**while the xbox is off**[/bold]then plug it back in then it should give u error 11..which is the same as error 10



    10 - kernel - DVD timeout

    Actually its almost the same as error 6/7/8. But also make sure the yellow cables are properly connected to the motherboard and the dvd drive.

    1. Make sure ide cables are connected good.
    2. Make sure the yellow cables are good and properly connected.
    3. Still no succes? Try another dvd drive of which you are sure it is working.



    11 - kernel - No DVD Found

    Same as #10 So read up please!
