Hey I've been searching for days, and I haven't found anything so I'm hoping maybe someone here has the answer... My chip-modded xbox has died - it will only stay on for about 3 minutes before it powers off. I bought a new one and soft-modded it. Is there any way to access the patched games from the old hard drive so I can put them on the new xbox? I've spent countless hours making new halo 2 maps, modding DOA, and a million other things, and I REALLY don't want to start over.
depends, whether you always ran your harddrive locked or unlocked. since a chip doesn't need a locked harddrive, your harddrive may be unlocked. if it is unlocked, get the program xplorer360 and hook your harddrive on your computer. then extract the files you want and ftp them into your new xbox. if you ran a locked harddrive you can unlock your harddrive with your eeprom.bin if you backed that up. if you didn't back that up... well, hard luck. you can build the eeprom reader and read the eeprom of your (dead?)motherboard. with that eeprom you can unlock the harddrive and use the xplorer360 program to get your files of your harddrive so if you can get your xbox to stay on long enough, back up your eeprom key and ftp it to your computer. then unlock your harddrive with that eeprom and use the xplorer360 program. you can all do this with a bootdisc (slayer/aid). you can backup and unlock your harddrive in about 2 minutes with the disc. via that way you can get the files of you want.
Thanks for the response! My hard drive IS unlocked, but isn't xplorer360 for 360's? I'm out of town not, so I haven't been able to check to be sure. This is an original xbox, though.
don't know, but that doesn't matter. it works for normal xbox's just fine. it is a means to mount the fatx partition in windows so you can read files of it. i've used it a few times.
