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...

k i tried again, i think it unlocked cuz it made a noise, it waz like
" beeewweeeeiii " like it was speeding up or sumthin, but my pc doesnt detect it, but it did the first time i tried to hotswap last nite, cud it be cuz i left the cd drive unplugged 4 so long, that it thinks there will be nothing there and that there isnt?

 

Thanks mhack for the quick response, Do I go directly to the 360xplorer at that point?

 

no goto find new hardware wizard first then 360. thats how i got it

 

mmmmm...well i`m pretty new to this so i might be wrong ....make up the eep and try it ....but i`m sure if you can`t unlock the drive with the xbox the eep isn`t going to do it either .did you try a second pc as yet ? worth a bash init ...(hope i`m not making it more frustrating ,....just trying to help ..lol)

 

keep trying till the pc sees it ..

dave

 

yeah mate i tried it. i think what i done is i turned of the xbox without the drive connected or sutin and since it dont matter wat i do i cant get in!!! ill try the eep and let u know. my mate gona put it together tmoz for me am not too gd an that side of things!!!!

 

what about going and opening "install new hardware", so it can look for it?

 

oh yeah you need to reconnect it back to the xbox before switching it off but thats pretty much un-repairable without flashing the hdd .thats easy enough ....just get a flash prog ...get the latest firmware for your hdd ....make a floppy and flash it ...it`ll then be unlocked and you will be able to lock it with the eeprom.bin file you create with your eep reader

 

you can try that . if it sees it there with a "scan for new devices" it SHOULD BE unlocked

dave

 

sweet!
happy modding guys am leaving you for tonight have fun all!!!

kr3w defo try find hardware sometimes even win XP needs a kick up the arse lol

enjoy

 

Every file,Wont that take ages ?

 

so what ur sayin i shud do is, fusk up my hd by turning it off w/o putting the ide bak in and flash it using some flash program, can u explain how to get this flash program, and how to do it?

 

tata mhack !

 

sorry mate that was aimed at mhack......forgot the quote button ....soz

you just need to keep trying i think .pull it at the flubber mhack said count 1 sec and pull it

Hate to interrupt, but when I tried to hotswap w/ windows already booted it froze the computer same as it did when I did it on boot up.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

jman

is ur xbox hd set to master? or master/cable select?

and make sure the xbox hd is the ONLY thing connected to your secondary ide cable.

so in theory you should have one ide connected to your pc's hd and on the other the xbox (after you unlock it as we told you)

 

I've got it set up like that. The only thing I'm not sure of if is if the x box drive is set to master or not I'll give that a check. OK checked it. It's set to "Enable Cable Connect". I'm not sure what that means exactly. Should I move the tab to make it a slave?

Jman

 

no dont make the drive a slave, cable select should be ok, but just try moving the jumper to master and c if that works?!
i had similar problems when i tried it first thats why i used the method with the pc already booted, set my xbox drive to master and everything was ok!
if not and your comp keeps freezing or re-booting am not quite sure why it would be, possibly something in your bios? i dnt really know just try above. if not ask someone here they should know

 

@jman31
your computer keeps freezing becasue the way you connect xbox's hdd to PC. Tell me what devices are connected to primary and secondary ide cable.

Xbox's hdd sets to Cable Select or Master. NO SLAVE.

In the PC bios, ENABLE both primary and secondary ide ports.
