As soon as you power on your computer hit the key that will get you in the BIOS .. Like keep tapping the key

OK I got to the menu and the only bios thing i saw was:
Advanced BIOS Settings
so I entered that and these were the options:
Quick Power On Selftest [Enabled / Disabled]
1st Boot Device [Floppy / LS120 / Hdd-0 / SCSI / CDROM / HDD-1/HDD-2 / HDD-3 / ZIP100 / USB-FDP / Card Reader / USB-CDROM / USB-HDD / LAN / Disabled]
2nd Boot Device [Floppy / LS120 / Hdd-0 / SCSI / CDROM / HDD-1/HDD-2 / HDD-3 / ZIP100 / USB-FDP / Card Reader / USB-CDROM / USB-HDD / LAN / Disabled]
3rd Boot Device [Floppy / LS120 / Hdd-0 / SCSI / CDROM / HDD-1/HDD-2 / HDD-3 / ZIP100 / USB-FDP / Card Reader / USB-CDROM / USB-HDD / LAN / Disabled]
Boot Other Device [Enabled / Disabled]
Boot Up Floppy Seek [Enabled / Disabled]
Security Option [Setup / System]
OS Select For RAM>64MB [NON-OS2 / OS2]
HDD S.M.A.R.T. Capability [Enabled / Disabled]
Is this the right place that I need to be in? If so... what options should I select so I dont screw up my comp?

1st Boot Device is the only one to change . Set it to "CDROM" for now. Save the configuration , Then put the xbhdm Disc In the CD ROM . and Power off your computer. Restart your computer and the Disc should load

Ok i got the disk to load finally after playing around with the settings for a while and when I go to lock the HDD and it looks for a password (eeprom im guessing)it says that there isnt one on the disk! Is it absolutely necessary to get it to lock or can I load it up and lock it from the dash I have on? I am almost completely positive that I put the eeprom from the backups folder in the hdm, but if i didnt, I guess i am kind of screwed because my old hdd got fucked up and it gives me error 13 and i cant figure out the hotswapping crap. what should i do?
hook up the pc hard drives again and make a new copy of the oot disk?
leave it unlocked and try to lock from xbox? plz help... im going out to dinner, but ill be working on this for the rest of the night probly so ill check back when i get back.

Put the eeprom.bin on a floppy disk ,If you have one. If not your gonna have to make another CD . But if you have a floppy use that to lock it
And you can usauly fix any drive that has a error code. error code 13 is fixable I think ... i have to go for a bit , just Private Message me so we don't put to many posts on this thread .

I have softmodded several xbox's now to use with XBMC and backup games so I have successful experience in that.
I have also used the faq in this thread to upgrade the 4gb HDD to 120GB (drive was listed in a compatible list). After some tweaking I got it to work, I needed to reapply the softmod after creating the HDD using the linux image and it all works great.......until it randomly locks up at boot......or when using evox or even in xbmc.
The HDD has since been used in a PC and has been checked and works without fault. I reverted to using the original HD (unchanged ofcourse).
Has anyone experienced a similar issue, in that the hd upgrade was successful but random freezes occur?

I checked to see if my hardrive is lockable and it is. when i try to lock it it says
Master drive is frozen
Cannot change security status of a frozen drive!
Try to disable 'Automatic Detection' on the primary
ide channel in your PC BIOS and reboot
I dont know what that means or how to fix it. can someone please explain? Thank You.

I recently purchased my 320Gb WD hard drive and I installed everything with the xboxhdm and when i put my hard drive in my xbox i get your xbox requires service please call blah blah blah but when i put in my old HDD it boots up normally and nothing goes worng. BTW my cpmputer iam using to install the new hard drive is kinda old and can only read CDr/cdwr so i only have 700 mb of storage on the disk and everything on my C and E folders are 2 big but i deleted all the aplications and emulators so that everything could fit and yes i did put the eeprom in the eeprom folder

growling: when you first boot up your PC, get into the bios settings(I had to tap F1 to get it to go there in start up, but all PCs are different.)somewhere in there is the auto detection things just go and disable the primary one and reboot like it says. (Ill try to figure that out for you when I reboot next time.)
xodome: try deleting all the stuff in E\TDATA + E\UDATA... that might cut the size down a bunch, dut those are also your game saves and downloads so dont delete if you really want those. If you want to keep them, you need to buy a dvd drive/burner.
lunatic76: I am not sure about that, but i think earlier in the post there are things on freezing, not really sure if they are the same kind of freezing prob, but I would look anyways.
Hope this helps :)

I tried signing into xbox live with my new 80gb hard drive and it said could not connect to live. so i put my old hard drive back in and now i cant connect to live with that hard drive. Is there any way to fix it so i can connect to live with my original hard drive? I love xbox live and this realy sucks now.
