does anyone know how to fix error code 09 on the xbox and was wondering if i bought a new hard drive would that fix the error and would i still have to use the hotswap on it also?
never seen or heard of this error http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/210562 If I were you I would just upgrade to a bigger drive and softmod. Get your eeprom, a hard drive, and xbox hdm and go at it. If you don't know what i'm talking about search softmod and upgrade hdd tutorial.
How would i go by on getting a new eeprom though i cant even play anything on it kuz it says error code 09 and then call customer service for support or something like that? would i be able to use a Pc hard drive or does it have to a certain kind of hard drive for the xbox? ive read the tutorial on how to hotswap but im kinda weary kuz i dont want to fry my xbox and computer and plus i dont want to get electricuted on doing this? and i also have another error on my other xbox which is 16 and it says im suppose to use the hotswap method on fixing that
I've never used the hotswap method and i've fixed well over 60 xbox's. You can obtain the eeprom.bin file by makin a eeprom reader. That's the way i would go about doing it. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/357863 You also need a hard drive any of these will work if it says lockable by it http://xboxdrives.x-pec.com/?p=list After you have your eeprom make a iso using xboxhdm. All you'll need is your eeprom and a C:, modded or not. You can use my cheater drive if you want http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GHHFXQJI follow the tutorials to upgrade the Hard drive http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/203286 and you should be all set I linked everything for you so you wouldn't get lost. If you have any problems or questions let me know.
Ive read the tutorial on how to make the eeprom reader but i dont think i can do that im not very good electronics and stuff like that but i do have the C drive and the xbox hdm1.9 though but the soldering i dont think i could do that though is some other alternative to get the eeprom or some site u can get an eeprom from? but thanks for the links and the guide how to upgrade the hardrive though and the tutorials
