i got a xbox softmod done a while ago, it worked fine untill i turned parental control on, then when i reset my xbox, it would just stay on the big "X". i tried putting movies, games, music cds, and ps2 games, anything to try to get it to show "cannot read dist" error. I took my xbox apart and the HDD is spinning,, is there anyway to fix this??

which windows do you have? how do you connect?
Here is some tips
- YOu need windows XP or 2000.
- download and install xplorer360 on pc.
- connect PC hdd to primary IDE.
- the secondary IDE is just for xbox hdd. So IDE cable is free now.
- turn on pc, and hit the Break/Pause key.
- turn on xbox, and wait untill the microsoft logo appears. Quickly remove IDE cable from xbox and connect the one from pc to it.
- press anykey on keyboard so pc continue to booot
- Open xplorer360. you should see 5 partiotions on xbox hdd

Do not remove IDE cable from xbox hdd untill you see microsoft logo appear under XBOX. if you remove to early, the xbox hdd is not unlock yet.
