Upgrading HD on Softmodded Xbox Tutorial

okay... i got a maxtor 6L040J2 hard drive that is lockable.. and it locks but for some reason it still doesnt work in my xbox.. can someone tell me why?? i get your xbox requires service no error codes NOTHING.. ive read everything page here.. and still nothing.

please help me

 

OK... I finally got a larger drive installed thanks to info in this post (needed to make sure the virtual C: partition wasn't mounted). I can boot the new drive and everything looks great except XBMC will no longer play videos and sometimes doesn't properly refresh screens. I can copy games to the HD and play them, boot between all of my installed dashboards, etc. It's just that XBMC no longer works very well. I'm using a WD1000 100Gig HD, I choose to create an F: partition with the xboxhd app. Any ideas? Thanks.

 

I think there is a new version of XBMC out that plays video great, no more locking up of videos Get that one

 

Why does it only have an issue when a larger drive is installed? If I have it on the stock drive, everything works great. I did try disabling the Autodetect F & G option with no luck.

Link to the new version?

 

Well I completely removed XBMC and it's external settings files, reinstalled on F:\Apps and it seems all is now well.

 

Sorry I was away from puter , Yeah seems like F: partition gives me problems aswell , Mainly with Emulators . And good deal on getting XBMC to work P.S. I have only seen the new XBMC on torrent sites :/ .. PM me I'll give you the torrent site link that has it .

 

I am having the same problem with XBMC after upgrading my hd but my problems dont stop there I have a few games that stopped loading with the new hd like nascar06 nfl06 nhl06 any idea I tryed everything even running them off the dvd.

 

try deleting the "CACHE" in E: and the last resort would be deleting the gamesaves for the game that won't load.

 

Well I have not deleted the GameSaves thinking that very same thing but not the cache let me try that..

 

Dude that worked!! your alsome I been messing around with this for most of the day thanks very much!! even my halo is running smooth now I thaught I was just something with my disk.. Thanks

do the hotswap thing plug the power cord for the hdd in at the first menu after the computer boots from the cd

 

Hello, I'm having a problem with this. I bought a softmodded XBOX and I want to upgrade its HD. The problem is, I did exactly as this guide says, using a Western Digital WD800LB-55DNA0 80GB disk, but I can't run the evox dashboard.
I checked the disk, the files are there and the disk is locked (because if I don't unlock it, I can't see the files), also if it isn't unlocked the xbox gives error 05.

But when it's been locked, the XBOX boots into MS dashboard, not evox. I tried all jumper settings with no luck. If I put the old hard drive back, the evox dash works fine.

Anyone knows what can be wrong?

 

all you have to do is reinstall the softmod and everything will be fine
