ok this is all you need to do is this http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/1/203286 and it should work you should lock your HD in Xbox HDM its a very easy proccess....
thats exactly what i did and it cant find the eepro on the disk i wanted to know how many files are there after i bavck up the eeprom i have three file 2 are docs and 1 is eeprombackup.bin which i changed to just eeprom .bin maybee its the harddrive ppossible it cant e locked but when i put the hard drive in my chipped one it says the drive is lockable so im confused.thanks for the second tutorial .but im still stuck on that damm eeprom.heeeeeellllpppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok thanks i think im just not getting the right eeprom files,backed up.but ill never give up.and thanks for your help and if u find any new news please let me know
still not working i have a 1.6 xbox is there any other way to back up the eeprom instead of config magic i think its giving me the wrong eeprom files.as before everything else works but when it looks for eeprom it say cannot find it i put on cd and on floppy
Mmmmm..try a slayers disk..menu...backup eeprom to hdd.. but your softmodding should have backed up your eeprom anyway..(apparently some softmod installers don't) and there should be a menu item in your dash to do it again anyway..Is the eeprom.bin file on it's own on the floppy? A thought..maybe wrong..Linux is case sensitive..try all caps and/or small for the filename and see if it makes any difference..
ok ill try that but now i have the fashing red and green so my box wont boot up and now im triing to just get the thing to work noermally. i should of tried the slayers disk before i have slayers 2.6.i cant believe i can chip ann xbo soilder an xbox o all kinds of stuff but i cant get a larger drive on a soft modded xbox.its driving me crazy.not to mention i can save alot of money doing it the soft mod way.thanks for your help but now i guess im gonna need help getting my xbox just to work any help would be appreciated.
First off, are you talking about the stock HD giving you the errors? Here is a possible solution for the eeprom thing. Make sure you copy all 3 eeprom files to the disk. Also check the disk for bad sectors. Also, I recommend copying the stock drive directly to the new one. It takes about an 1 and 1/2 hours but its worth it. Then to enable the extra 110 or so GB's of space, add the F: drive. Why wouldn't you just FTP the eeprom files over to your pc in the first anyway?!?
