    I've been following some tips here trying to softmod my Xbox using the hotswap method. I don't have access to a desktop PC so have been using my laptop with a USB to IDE adapter. To further complicate my issues I'm running Ubuntu on the laptop.

    I've created my xboxhdm ISO and mapped the scsi drive to hda and ISO to cdrom using Qemu. Ubuntu doesn't seem to be co-operating with the Xbox hard drive however. I've posted up some queries on the Xbox Scene forums but hoped I might be able to tap into some wisdom here too.

    The following is the output from dmesg when I connect the Xbox HDD to the laptop.

    the drive is still locked.. try unplugging the xbox dvd drive.. when you get error12 the hdd will be unlocked..

    this is close on impossible with usb to ide... hdm relies on a direct ide connection.. I use an old junker p2 set up with no operating system at all.. just a cd drive and an ide cable.. works a treat.

    you boot the xboxhdm disk.. you don't try to run it within another os.. because that just plain doesn't work.
