hey guys i was in the process of "hotswapping" my xbox between by pc, to install UNLEASH X Dashboard and just to softmod my xbox...but after i installed the softmod onto my xbox, when i went to go plug in my hard drive back into my xbox, i accidently bent 3 or 4 of the pins and there is no luck in fixing them back, there stuck really bad..

i have to extra hard drives 1 is 4.32GB and the other is like 3.2 GB
is there anyway i can hook those up to my xbox and restore everthing back to normal?

PS2 HDD 40GB

easy way to fix the bent pins, get a knife and pry them back straight, and for the love of god dont cut your hand off

nope you have to have your eeprom.bin off of your old hard drive, or you need a modchip, and there is a way to fix that, you may not have a good connection but keep trying, you can fix it.

cant be locked without the eeprom off the hard drive you have or you need a modchip

well there is hard drives on this site ready to go all you have to do is lock them they are specificly for xbox's with everything you need.

you get a mod chip with the hard drive then install them then with your xbox the flash bios screen comes up and it has options like lock hard drive so you install the flash bios with the hard drive locked and ur ready to go :)

http://www.xbox-modchips.com/xbox-harddrive-upgrades.htm

for the hard drives and for the best mod chip (my opinion)

http://www.xbox-modchips.com/x2lite.htm

you need to find out what version your xbox is first 1.0-1.5 or 1.6-1.6b because there are 2 xapters for it unless you would be willing to do the pin header install witch is soldering stuff on to the motherboard
