Upgrading HD on Softmodded Xbox Tutorial

No I actually didn't do anything wrong at all buddy.

But out of coincidence my PC is as I am told by some people that actually helped "to new".


My PC has all SATA connections with one IDE connection that is not used. My CD-ROM is to new and that s what the problem was. I had to disconnect the CD-ROM and use some ancient POS just like the "software" to get it to work.


If the software don't get updated soon no offense but it will become bullshit!

More and more PC's are built with SATA and even with a adapter for the HDD to run from UATA to a SATA the software still wont work. Before you know it no pc's will have a IDE connection even like the one I have that was hidden from site!

I also didnt blame anyone or aything but the software so dont go trying to stir somethings up with people whos help and creations I do appreciate regardless.

 

Agreed! Most problems can usually be traced back to impatience or errors on the user end. I suggest trying again and making sure you have ALL the needed files on your C partition, burn at a slower speed, etc.

SlaeYer

 

I love how people cant simply read! I have solved the problem! The software is not compatible with newer CD-ROMS and other devices on a some newer PC's and this I got from many people on xboxscene.com! I did everything I could possible THE RIGHT WAY!

Like I said it needs to be updated to keep up with current PC's! ( if possible )

Even with the SATA to UATA adapters it did not work! But it worked fine on a old out dated CD-ROM! <---- THIS MEANS SINCE I DID IT ALL THE SAME WAY AS BEFORE I WASN'T DOING ANYTHING THE WRONG WAY !!GET IT!! Even when I placed my new CD-ROM on my IDE VIA the adapter the way I should have ( HDD on MASTER, SATA CD-ROM on SLAVE VIA ADAPTER ) it did not work!!!!!!!!!!

Please read my posts over and think of what I am saying!

ok first off this is my first time moding and xbox i am using evox i am trying to upgrade to a seagate 40gb hd i have used the tut at the begining of the thead i used the program that i was told to and it worked all the way to the locking process and i typed lockhd -a and it says

What is the problem with the hd i dont under stand the problem please help me figure this out i dont have a chip my xbox is softmodded
thanks for any help

 

As evidenced by the error message you received, this drive does not support locking, therefore the xbox will not boot if you use this drive. Try another drive, you can re-use the XboxHDM disc you already made.

 

ok well that sucks but i put the model number in the link the is at the bottom of the tut and it told me that it was lockable but the hd was in my pc and i formatted it with ntsf to remove the files on it would this have done somethinf to the hd but thanks for the info i guess ill have to get a new drive but if my formatting it did do something can i fix it because the only other file system i could have used is fat32 but thanks again

 

Deleting should not have done anything and I also put the numbers in and got a bunch of BS once.

 

thanks for the info ill just get another HDD do you know a good one to get that is inexpensive and where i might find one. Thanks again for the help to bad it was just a case of i got the wrong HDD but hey thats the life a person that with a modded Xbox.LOL

 

So I have a problem.

I have a softmodded Xbox, and I want to upgrade to a Western Digital WD800JB hard drive.

I followed this guide exactly, and I was able to lock the hard drive, but when I put it in the Xbox I get Error Code 06.

Any ideas?

The only thing I can think of it that the hard drive I'm using isn't new, so maybe I should try another one?

 

Also, ConfigMagic says that my unique HDD key is "0000000000..." is that odd?

 

Nevermind. I know what the problem is now, I have to figure out how to get the correct eeprom.bin. I keep finding the fake one, which won't load in Liveinfo....

 

I have a problem, i followed all the steps, and everythign works, however when ever i boot up my xbox, it will always boot into the default ms dashboard. How will i get it to boot into unleashedx dashboard?

 

kC___88, sounds like you have to restore the mod or remodd your xbox with your new HD install. If and when, you want xbmc as your default dashboard, do this.
1.download the latest xbmc from your favorite torrnet site.
2. Unrar it to a folder on your desktop or where you can find it.
3. Open the folder and copy everything file by file, folder by folder to e: folder on your xbox except the default.xbe file.
Now
Save the file that ends with .xbe to any where on your computer for just in case purposes. Now whatever the name of your .xbe file is, mine was evoxinf.xbe so yours might be unleash.xbe. Rename the default.xbe in your xbmc folder to whatever the name of your .xbe file is and copy or overwrite it to e: folder on your xbox. Agian in my case it was call evoxinf.xbe. Look for a single file ended with .xbe

 

Craiggg, wow you completely saved me the trouble of looking for the xbmc dash thing, thanks!

 

No prob sponge bob.

 

i have a softmodded xbox and i have a western digital 111GB(what my computer says on it) external hard drive, and i do have ftp access. i got the xboxhdm thing from xbins, i put the eeprom.bin from e\eeprom_backup\eeprom.bin and the entire e/ and c/ thing on the linux folder, made the iso, and ran it. then I press 1, type xboxhdm, and it tells me its going to erase all files on this ahrd drive, but it only gives my a number. so i stop it, ctrl+alt+delete, reboot, and try to find out which drive has that number. i believe i found it to be the C drive. i have no total clue how to disconnect the C drive, and i sure don't want to erase it all.how do i disconnect all the drives except for western digital?

 

ok, seems your trying to do this h/d to h/d I do this via a DVD drive (on drive letter D) and the drive I wish to use on C, if memory servers me right, the tool your using only does C so you can not use C for a h/d to make a xbox drive on D, I use the following IDE setup

IDE0-0=c:
IDE0-1=nothing (no drive)
IDE1-0=D (DVD drive or CD drive)
IDE1-1=nothing (no drive)

the above has served me well ^_^ see if it helps you out

 

are you talking about that setup thing, where if i press F1, and it can give me the IDE thing, the primary master thing, because i don't know much about this, i just softmodded my xbox and i need more room
