my xbox harddrive broke and i need help on how to put a new hardrive on my xbox but once i can get a new hardrive on there i still need somdodies xbox files cause i dont have mine
Did you mod your Xbox at all? For example; with Mecassault. Because as far as I know, every Xbox has a unique code. It is the folder called backup linux. the eeprom file is whats needed to be backed up, but that is in my case anyhow. If not, I would suggest Microsoft support and have them fix it. I hope this helps, good luck.
my hardrive is gone it has a broken brush i cant use it at all but I did softmod it with mech. when you softmad does it mod the hardrive or the xbox itself
But did you ever think to back up that eeprom.bin file off your xbox and onto your PC like the softmod installer advised?
It is going to be very hard to do anything without a working drive or a back up of at least the EEPROM file. You need that EEPROM file to build a new hard drive to put into your Xbox, so that you can then re-softmod it and get everything working. Each hard drive is pretty much locked to a certain Xbox, and the EEPROM file is used to build a new hard drive so that the xbox thinks it is the original (for a lack of a better description) Without YOUR EEPROM file the xbox will reject any other hard drive you try and put in it. Your only option may be to have a mod chip installed, then you cn swap out for a new hard drive. you can check into that and see if a mod chip would fix the problem.
thanks every body i didnt back up my hardrives eeprom so i think i will just buy another xbox because i dont really want ot install a mod chip i haven't read enough about it to do it my self.Also i have no clue on which one to buy maybe if somebody could help me then i might go that way
http://www.teammodders.com/forum/how-to-hotswap-and-recover-a-hd-without-an-eeprom-backup-t91.html try this.i broke mine and fixed it like this.i would still would recommend an xecuter 3
You could of course try this... I haven't spoken to mike in a long time, but with a little care, and reading the instructions carefully it works exactly as he says it does. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/357863
Teammodders.com may also be able to fix it and install the chip for you. Or they also sell premodded systems. If you want the best then a Xenium or Xecuter chip is the way to go. If you want something inexpensive and stable that will do everything you want then DuoX2 would be the best choice. That is what i have in mine and it has never let me down.
janrocks-thanks janrocks for that tut but i wasnt sure if you need the origonal hardrive cause if u dont than i wall try his way.it looks like u dont need the origonal hardrive? steimy-thanks steimy for the site teammodders.com i sent in a request to see wat they can do. i think i will go with the DuoX2 but im not sure if you can add new hardrives with it. if you could clear that up for me seeing as i need help and a hardrive. also if any one knows if all eeproms are the same? im guessing that they are not thanks so much all of you
you can add new hard drive with any chip, i have a DuoX2 in mine with a 300GB hard drive. It takes about 10-15 minutes tops to take out the old one and slap in the new one, then about an hour to format it and install all the programs from the Slayer 2.7 auto installer disc. Here is the tutorial that was written for me when i first got mine. http://www.teammodders.com/forum/how-to-install-a-new-hdd-and-format-it-using-slayers-2-6-t672.html
cool so i dont need my origonal hd but it dosnt say if the xbox in the tut is modded. so all i need is slayer disc and a mod chip
yes, once the chip is in, you take out the old one, hook up the new one, and use the auto installer disc. That is pretty much all there is to it. as far as needing the old one, that i am not sure about. I would ask the installers. not sure if it is needed anywhere in the chip setup. I would think that the chip would have to be able to access and store your EEPROM from it, other than that i can not see what else. I am sure if you ask them they can tell you if anything can be done to save your Xbox.
