Not a problem... sorry you couldn't get things goin...

 

I have a link for the clean MS Dash 5960 in my Software section!

 

..gracias chunk and slaeyer.....
i dl from both links just incase....
lets now see where this goes.

 

When I try to run the cd containing the linux.iso I get a message reading "A disk read error has occured" or something alongs those lines. Now I tried to reburn make and reburn the cd with the same problem. Does this mean the harddrive is bad?

 

It's doubtful your hd is bad based on this error. You may have a motherboard revision that is incompatible with XboxHDM. Try another pc if you can.

 

kmssd:I never received a a:/ disk error but my pc did reject the hdm cd so i ran a failsafe hdm cd google for it. It might help

You can also try to disable the a:drive in your system bios/setup before your system boot. F1 or something like that

 

The CD doesn't contain the linux.iso, the iso contains the CD.

You've burned it wrong!

Read my HDD upgrade tutorial!

 

@Slaeyer
I can try another computer sometime.

@Craiggg
I can't disable A drive without disabling C drive aswell, so I will check google.

@I followed instructions from this site but another poster, and the directions seem the same, but is there a way to check if I burned the cd right, being that I burned it with DVD Decrypter.

I keep all you guys up to date when I try things by how they work.

 

Mount the cd in a PC. The cd should contain a bunch of files. If the CD only contains a single file with .iso extension, you burned the image incorrectly. The .iso file should be burnt to cd as an image, there should be an option to burn image to disc in your recording program of choice.

 

When the cd is in the drive I can see folders like C,E, Eeprom and some texts and one blank file type.

 

Is there files within the C folder?

 

There are files in all the folders except the one labeled F, being that I didn't have a F folder on my stock xbox harddrive.

 

Ok I got this to work on a newer computer after a second try, cause I didn't notice the last selection was a Y not a complete Yes, and luckily I have 5 desktops if the one didn't work, but thanks for the help.

 

hey everything works like it said in the tutorial....but when i put the hdd in it gives me error code 6 and tells me to contact support...plz help...

 

My tutorials explain everything!

 

i went to your tutorial...and yeah i had a bad eeprom ...i undid everything using hdm and used the eeprom from udata, but the same thing still happened anyway...i think the problem is that i've never locked my hdd to begin with and its getting frustrating...when i go through the lock options it says completed successfuly then it gives me the drive status and it says security suport: yes security enabled: yes locked: no frozen: no...so i read and asked around and someone told me if that was happening then use dos tools (option 4 on hdm)...and before i could even put anything in it told me at the top that the drive was "unlockable"...so since it told me i couldn't lock it, i went to the xbox compatability chart and several people said it worked fine ...its a maxtor model#:6L200P0 ...so i have no idea what to do now

 

If you are getting an Error 6, the drive is locking quite fine, you simply have locked it with the wrong eeprom.

Use 'LiveInfo' to check the eeprom.bin serial number matches your sticker underneath your console!

 

to give an update, u were right, it was a bad eeprom...i talked to a person on mirc and i guess the problem was the SID softmod...for some reason it placed some eeprom with a hddkey of all 0's in my e:/backup...when i told him i had installed a sid softmod on the orig hdd he told me to uninstall it and use the krayzie indure softmod on the orig hdd because sid was unstable or somethin...when i did a backup with the krayzie endure softmod, the eeprom created in e:/backup worked ....just a lil info for anyone else havin error #6...

 

My softmod tutorial uses SID 4.0 and it's as stable as hell!
