Hotswap Can Fix Xbox With Error 13, 14, 16, 20 And 21, can reinstate Xbox's HDD To Factory Condition, can also Install/Reinstall Softmod Files. Al...

nvm i got it

 

where are you at now? can you access the xbox hdd on PC?

 

Thanks for the information. I saw posted on another thread that the spider chip is a good solution to fix it and doesn't cost too much. Can someone tell me a place I can get it from in the UK please?

Thank you

EDIT: Will a duox 2 chip work?

 

the flat grey cord is the IDE cable right?

 

@conker77
yes. There should be 2 IDE cables on PC. The primary goes to PC's hdd. The secondary will go to xbox's hdd. PC's hdd and Xbox's hdd are NOT on the same IDE cable.

@matrix34
Yes it works. But you have to know how to install and flash bios. I dont know much about those chips.

 

thanks but what he didnt do was back up he diddnt connect it to pc and everything is gone so it looks like he will have to buy a mod chip thanks again for your help and your quick responces curving

 

Hiya, my Xbox used to get error 21 cause well I screwed it up by trying to put the original MS dash back on while it was softmodded and well yeah. So I tried this method and followed instructions as well as I could and well the end result is now I get error 16, I can still get into my HDD though cause I have that Xbox Recovery Disc and I can still unhook the IDE cable and get into it like the method mentions and well... anyone have any idea how I can fix this? And just so you know the Recovery Disc don't fix it. Any help is appreciated.

 

ok get into the hdd, then list all files and folders on ROOT of C, E drive.

 

C: Folders: Audio, fonts, xboxdashdata.1012a700, xodash
Files: xboxdash.xbe

E: Folders: UDATA, TDATA

 

well i gotta go for now, i won't be able to test anything out till monday. cause well it's not my computer and if the person who owns it knew i was using it in such a way i dont know if they'd approve (he's old and would think i'd break it) so still try to help me out please with any info or recommendations and i shall test them monday.

thank you

 

Look like you dont have a complete working ms dash. It should be like this:

C:\Audio, Fonts, xboxdashdata, xodash, xboxdash.xbe, Xbox.xtf, Xboxbook.xtf

E:\UDATA, TDATA (This 2 folders are empty)

X, Y, Z are empty

 

i had downloaded the original files from that link you provided, and well those two files I didn't mention are in the font folder and I'm pretty sure I had also copied them to the root of C and well that didn't seem to fix it. So maybe that backup of the original files is missing something? or maybe they're corrupted... I don't know.

 

Can you download MS dash from bittorent and try it?

 

yeah i was gonna try that but I gotta get someone else to do it for me cause I'm stuck on dialup and it would take forever. I'll inform you how it all works out once I get it. i appreciate all the help, and this was a fantasic tutorial. thanks.

 

You can also get a full original MS dash from your friends if they have.

did you backup your ms dash? Do you know PC stuffs?

 

Can you get a full working ms dash from your friend's xbox?

 

well i already have a fresh files of ms dash that i downloaded from the net on my pc!!

 

Then you are ready for hotswap. You only need to know what is the primary IDE and secondary IDE.

There are 2 IDE cables in the PC.

- PC's hdd is on the primary IDE cable.
- the other IDE cable is just for xbox hdd.

REad my tut for 3-4 times. Look inside PC and Xbox to understand what I'm saying. When you know everything I said on the tut, then you can actually do the hotswap to reinstall ms dash.

I goto go now. be back.
