    First of all u need a mod chip. I recommend the Xecutor 3, probably the best one out there. You will need a hacked bios and an alternate dashboard like Evox or Avalaunch.

    If ur a newbie to this, i reccommend slayers autoinstaller 2.6, does everything 4 u, all u have to do is wait.

    1) You need a mod chip.

    2) You need an hacked dashboard hd bios disc (like evox/avalaunch) to install the new hdd.

    3) You need dvd2xbox to install games into a certain directory.

    If i put a new hard drive in but not a mod chip would i be able to put copied games on it and play them?

    No, because just like Quadratic said, you need a mod-chip. When u install the mod-chip, u need to flash a bios by using a bios cd. When you get the bios of the chip flashed, you need to make a dashboard cd containig the files neccessary to run a hacked dashboard.

    When you install the dashboard, u need to burn slayers autoinstaller 2.6 onto a cd and from there u can format your hdd to work w/ ur xbox.

    first off the error code is very important to find what you need to do to fix it and whats wrong as far as i know after 3 months there is no repair service except one provided by sending in the system to xbox which may cost you more than buying a new one good luck

    16 is a dashboard crash you need to either get a mod chip or try to get a bootable xbox dashboard disk then soft mod it and replace your original bios

    what type of mod chip do i need?...does it need to be specific in order to play games from the us or games from asia?....forgive but i have no idea...here in the phil. stores convert your xbox for it to be able to run pirated games..which is around $2 each never had mine converted though...so what does a mod chip do? coz if it does the same thing might as well have this converted..
