    I have a system 16 error after it shows the xbox startup screen. It doesnt play games or cds. I cant use hotswap and hd maker to fix my xbox hdd. Is there any other way to fix it?

    Why can't you Hotswap?

    Unplug the DVD drive and it will go to an Error 12. You can the hotswap!

    If you have the eeprom file saved you can boot to the xboxhdm locking utilities, unlock the drive, reboot and install, and then reboot again and lock it.

    in the hotswap tut, it says your pc needs to have 2 ide cords. i did what it said anywaay and turned the pc on and it said Operating System Not Found instead of that other crap.
