    well I can say that TheReturn does know what he's on about as he spent lots of time helping me do a hot swap with mine so he is a trusted source :)

    Just found this thread and am glad to see that things worked.
    A friend just dumped her broken softmodded xbox on me. Someone she knows did the mod and has now moved away and is unavailable for help.

    The error 21, so I'll be trying this to see if I can also recover factory settings for her. I have never worked with an xbox before, so this should be fun.

    I've been helping alot of people out there with this hotswap method. A lot of them have successed to fix their consoles.

    If yes, then hotswap will fix your xbox.

    did you read tutor carefully? Just download and install it on PC. Download load ms dash and unrar it.

    Then follow the tut

    well you dont see microsoft logo that means you can't do hotswap.

    Why? because xbox will not unlock the hdd. So PC can not read the xbox hdd. The hdd is unlock if you see microsoft logo appears under the big X and XBOX.

    In your case, you need to borrow/buy the modchip.

    Hello, is it possible to fix error 16 that can't be hot swapped by getting a replacement xbox hard drive and putting it straight into the xbox?

    Thank you

    @curving
    If you backed up eeprom of this xbox to PC, then I have another way. Otherwise you need a modchip. There are a lot of sites to sell xbox modchip. If you want the best modchip, I suggest to buy Xecuter 3 CE (X3ce).

    www.modchip.com/

    @matrix34
    Yes if you have eeprom of the broken xbox on PC. Otherwise, you need modchip.
