HOW TO: Fix an Error 16

OK another one. I was playing a game for a longtime lastnight and set the fan pretty high. Now when I connect the xbox HD to my PC my fan on my PC goes crazy! Any link to the XBOX fan settings? If so I think I have some hope but if I dont get it in a few hours Im going to bed and getting a new XBOX in the morning. I DLed the second season of Arrested Development and I was feeding it to my TV VIA networking my PC to XBOX and sharing files with windows to XBMC. Now I am getting pretty pissed cause it could take me days to get things together to softmod a new one and I just got the networking and FTPing to actually work right!


Also as far as softmodding it with a hotswap. I was just reading a how to to do just this and they left out disonecting the IDE from the DVD drive, they went with just disconecting the HD IDE cable.

Is there a specific reason for this? I have read lots of good replys on it.

And also, can I use the XBOX and AID to do a hotswap for a HD upgrade. Can I just load up AID ( after I do a new softmod ) and disconect the cable from the HD and plug in the new one and use AID like it says?

 

To cure the Explorer 360 issue... Make sure the jumper on the hard drive is set to "Master". I had the same problem b/c the jumper on mine was set to "Cable Select".

If you're not into manually softmodding the Xbox - it'll get a lot easier when you do it a 2nd or 3rd time - then use the AID disc to set up the hard drive. Pop it in your Xbox and follow the instructions.

 

To late I replaced the system with a new one. Besides it locked the HD wrong I am pretty sure. FATxplorer wouldnt work either and it wasnt the cable issue cause it conected right the first time.

 

Ok my xbox hdd is hooked up to the primary master cable and my comp HDD is hooked to the secondary master cable. The device manager detects it but xplorer360 still says couldn't find FATX drive to open. Any suggestions?

 

Keep trying, Xplorer is a pain in the ass, it'll work eventually though!

Why is the Xbox on the Primary?

 

ok, does my xbox HDD need to be unlocked? cause if it does then that must be what I have been doing wrong

 

I plugged the pc dvd IDE cable to the XBOX, also have the PC HDD plugged, both were set to cable select but my my PC doesn't detect any hardware changes (only shows one HDD) so when opening Xplorer360 it's empty. So I tried to set both jumpers to MASTER but it still doesn't detect the HDD.Can someone please help by letting me know what am I doing wrong. Any setting on PC that I should change in PC Bios, perhaps...? Anyone, please! Thank you in advance!

 

My pc can detect the HDD buy the xplore360 can't see the HDD. I need help please.

 

For anyone thats having trouble with xplorer360 not being able to read their hdd, try the older versions. I've uploaded them all here

The one I downloaded off here didn't work, but when I tried the beta5 version, it read it instantly Just go through each one, one will probably work.

 

hi great tut just want to sum things up you said on your links to different xbox tutorials thread this method also fixes the xbox live updating loop. Thankyou lots, you saved me alot of time and money. The only two options I had to begin with was to make a eeprom reader/writer or get a modchip and fix it that way. After searching for answers all over the place you give me the best, easiest seeming and cheapest solution.

kudos and thankyou.

 

whaevr, your uploaded page cannot be open why?

 

It opens for me...I'll upload it to some other sites if RapidShare is giving you trouble. Its not unheard of for RapidShare to do this =P

Edit:
Heres a link to it on Megaupload

 

whaevr, thanks. I got it now. my HDD is lock now, so I will unlock it and use the xplorer360 later. Thanks again.

 

No problem, glad I could help.

 

you know the white thing on the HDD that determines if the drive is supposed to be slave or master? well, is that supposed to be off when you do this?

 

I can't unlock my Xbox HDD now. I have try all the software on this site but It doesn't help.I need help, please

 

You haven't read the first post have you.. you know,, The Guide??

 

wow, wow, wow

usually i dont post to these things but, i figured with the time you put in this and how much it helped me i had too. these were the easiest steps, and you rock my friend!

 

I am but a simple man, you guys would do the same for me!

 

Umm... I've done everything here and every variant of, but I still cant get either Xplorer OR FATXplorer to read the XBOX HDD. The Device Manager regonizes the drive, but I can't get any XBOX explorer program to see the goddamned drive. That's for pointing me here, and I'm glad so many people were helped, but I guess my HDD is jsut scrwed up. Thanks fro the help though. I jsut wish I didn't have to get a new XBOX, or at very least could have got it working long enough to transfer my saves into an External Memory Unit. Oh well. Again, Thank you anyways.
