    ok i got a brokenn xbox from a friend
    i beleive it is a version 1.0 (made in 2002)
    and bought sega gt/jsrf disc for testng
    took it home and got an error 16 with and without disc in
    so i hotswapped and reinstalled the dash
    got an error 21 with and without disc in
    so i hotswapped and installed the shademand ready made softmod
    now it gets interesting
    no disc error 21
    disc plays sega gt and all video demos
    but not jet set radio

    my thoughts
    maybe the dash i installed first was too new (185ead00)
    for an old xbox
    and in order to fit the ready made on a disc i deleted the backup
    included with it
    (still at the ready on my computer
    (seeing as how that dash had already not worked)
    any help and links are apreciated
    i am new at this xbox thingy but i learn quick

    after a new attempt with slayers
    which went VERY SLOW
    my new guess is that there are bad blocks on the drive
    is there any way to fix that
    (or hide the bad blocks)

    install Magic Config to xbox. Run it and backup eeprom. Do not unlock hdd.

    Then Ftp everything inside C and E drive to PC.

    Then get a new hdd and use xboxhdm to make a new hdd for xbox.
