Upgrading HD on Softmodded Xbox Tutorial

how do u do a soft mod

 

http://www-static.cc.gatech.edu/~ranma1/softmodding_xbox.html

that is pretty much te same thing i did, just google it you'll find alot of ways to do it

 

i looked in my backup_linux and there is no folder or file that is named eeprom. is the eeprom just for unlocking and locking you hdd?
can you help me with it? im a noob at this and ive been reading up on it and this is the best tutorial ive read on how to upgrade you hdd
thanks

 

umm it might be in the main drive of your softmod look around you will find it make sure you did back up eeprom then look for the file.

 

o i found it it was in one of my e folders or something and i did it all so it should work all i have to do is burn it

 

I'm having trouble too. I was able to format, partition, copy over myy C and E drives, and lock the drive without any problems. When I put the drive in my xbox I get the call customer service screen. I'm going to try a few more things, and will update if anything fixes the problem. Thanks in advance for any help.

 

ummmm lookup the error message you recieved (the number on the screen) they have a list posted somewhere i dont remember

http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/errorcodes.php

actually there is the site if its the unable to unlock hdd make sure you have the right eeprom and try again


hope this helps

 

It doesn't give me an error code, it just says to call customer service. I'm pretty sure I have the right eeprom. I put ConfigMagic on my retail hdd and used that to back up the eeprom. That's what I ftp'd to my computer and put on the xboxhdm disc.

 

Get the eeprom.bin from the E: "UDATA" folder , That Config Magic suxs

 

This time I used the eeprom from my E:\UDATA folder, it said it locked successfully, but when I install the drive I still get the call customer service screen.
BTW, I'm trying to upgrade to a 40GB Western Digital (WD400BB-00DEA0) hdd. I've checked online, and it is lockable, I haven't had any problems locking it.

 

Look for an error number on the service screen, Has to have a error number . Then we can try to help more.

 

There is no error code:

 

Okay are you putting the eeprom on the Disc or are you putting it on a floppy to lock the Hard Drive ? OK try putting the eeprom.bin on a floppy and try to lock it . It seems the files are missing from C: and/or the Hard drive just Is'nt unlocking .

 

alright so on the xboxhdm file can i leave the c and e files empty ? and the eeprom? or what? im so confused cause i was gonna upgrade to a 60 gig hdd and do it from scratch. ive already made a disk on a cd rw but when i put the new hdd into my pc and put the disc in to boot it, it doesnt pop up with anything to boot from.after i click make iso win and it creates that iso image thing i burn that right/? im a noob at all this stuff i just started looking in to all this stuff
thanks

 

I am planning on doing a hard drive installation today with a 300GB HDD, but I don't understand the part about the 137 gig-formatting thing, can someone explain this to me?

Batch process failed.
The last item was .

ok so i had an original xbox v1.0 and i had a softmod installed via splintercell xploit and it was working well for a month and i decided i wanted a new hd so i purchased a new hd
Western Digital Caviar SE WD1600JB 160GB 7200 RPM IDE Ultra ATA100 Hard Drive - OEM
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.....x=0&Go.y=0
at a local shop i followed a perfect tutorial on how to install it i had my whole hard drive backed up to a cd r boot disk and those files were put on the new hd and so i installed the hd flawlessly everything works fine no error 21 or any errors all games play fine, but when i attempt to install the softmod im unable to also if i remove and try to install i cant either, i think im getting the error becasue the dash isnt up to date how would i fix this and i have ftp access to my xbox what files are missing/not needed

thank you so much

 

Could someone please tel me how to get all of the hard drive space from a hard drive. I need to know how to format the rest or whatever using unleash X. Also, I read somewhere that someone did it using XBMC. Please help someone

OK I just Bought a 400 GB Seagate HDD for my softmodded xbox and I plug it into my comp. as the master HDD and I put in the boot disk that I made from xboxhdm and it says:

NO OS FOUND.
PLEASE INSERT OS SETUP DISK AND PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE.

I put in the disk form xboxhdm and press the Space bar. Then it says:

PLEASE INSERT BOOT DISK AND PRESS ENTER

I need to know what to do. like do I need a iso. for a disk that has the xbox OS on it? If so... where can I get one?

Please help me, My Xbox and my Comp. are both torn apart now because I wanted to do this tonight.

Thanks In Advance For Any Help I Can Get.

P.S. Do I need to disconnect everything form my comp loke doth DVD Drives, Floppy Drive, and/or Power cord to the Slave HDD in my comp.?

 

@-DarkTekno
Did you set your CD-ROM as the first boot device In the PC BIOS ?
And When you created the xboxhdm Disc , Did you add the C:/ files from your softmod and add it to the xboxhdm C folder ? , Did you Get your eeprom.bin, etc ?
