yes. look like you got into the dead end. And modchip is the last option. What did you delete yesterday?
Sorry Norcross. I dont want you to come to this dead end. If you can find the eeprom.bin from all your backups then you have one more try to fix your xbox. I have been helping a lot of people to solve their problems but you and djchase. And both of you dont have eeprom.bin either. If you have eeprom, you can rebuild the hdd. Here is the djchase thread. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/325572
