    Hi guys, here's what I'm stuck with.
    I don't really know how it happened, but just one day booting up the xbox and I'm greeted with Error 21. I backed up my C and EEprom on the xbox, but I don't have a copy on my computer. Now normally I could just FTP into it and get the backups, problem is that Error 21 doesn't allow the UnleashX dash to boot.

    I've tried to hotswap and recover the drive but to no avail. I'm stuck with 1 more ace up my sleeve but I need help. I was thinking of using some tool to unlock the Harddrive in the xbox (I don't remember what it was called, if you know of the tool - please tell) and then using xplorer360 to obtain the files. From there, re-building the drive should be easy.

    However, doing this is probably the coup de grace - so if this fails, then I'll have a paperweight. What program should I use to unlock the HD?

    TL;DR - Xbox has Error 21, can't FTP to retrieve Eeprom and C:/ backup located in the E:/ drive.

    By "tool" are you talking about XboxHDM 1.9?
