Why call n00bs loosers? they are more like learners, dont flame people coz they dont know how to do something, we could do the same for you one day and I know you WOULD'NT like it.

Alright....
I followed this tut to the letter, and all seemed to go great. But when I put the new HD into the XBOX, it says call customer support. In the upper left corner, it says "06"
How do I fix?

yo JXP, the "06" u saw means that the xbox couldnt unlock the harddrive.
there could b 2 reasons i can think of for this:
1.the harddrive isnt locked or can't b locked (do a google search for ones that can and cant).
2.the harddrive is locked but it is locked with the wrong key.
if the harddrive really is locked unlock it first then make a new xboxhd cd and make sure this one has UR XBOX'S EMMPROM. then redo the entire process this should work.
GOODLUCK!

The eeprom.bin I used I found in my Apps/EvolutionX/backup/ folder.
Was this the right one? There is one in my UDATA folder somewhere too. Should I use this one instead?

I am having the same problem as Lewda99...
I have already softmodded my xbox, I have two dashboard: UnleashX and EvolutionX, everythin is fine so far. I now want to replace the original xbox hard drive with a newer WD 160 GB drive. I FTPd over my C: and E: drives from the xbox as well as the EEPROM bin file. I followed the exact steps to make the bootable hdm cd. I opened up my computer (I have one HD in it as Primary Master and I have two cd drives on Secondary Master & the other on Secondary Slave). I unplugged my HD in the computer and hooked up my new HD to it. When I turn on my computer, it finds the HD then the linux cd boots up and I see the options. I choose "1" and then press enter. It loads a couple of files then my computer gets restarted again. I never get to the screen where i have to enter "xboxhd". Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance.

SOrry about the last post, i guess i just freaked...my computer recognized the hard drive after abou the third reboot.
All Right, I uninstalled the softmod i had and modded my xbox using the softmod tut on this site. I dont have E:\ backup_linux\ on my xbon after the softmod. I do have an eeprom bin file (256 kb) at E:/UDATA/21585554/000000000000/backup/eeprom.bin so i used this file to put into the linux folder of the hdm cd folder. Then i transferred over the C: and E: drives. I made the boot cd and this time i used my 9 year old computer and voila! i was able to press "1" and then able to type "xboxhd" and follow all of the steps.
Now, where i ran into a problem was when i needed to lock my HD (it is WD 160 GB WD1600JB - 00GVA0, which i found online is lockable). When I try to lock the HD, after about 1 min, i get a message saying fatal error and bunch of other stuff. Could the problem be my eeprom file, because i noticed that when i transffered it from my xbox to my computer the size is now 1 KB, but when i right click then properties, it says the size is 265 KB and that size of disk is 4KB.
ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. Thanks once again.

Yahoo333: Stop freaking out, if at first you dont suceed retry, also ensure you got your c: and e:
jxp2307: you may have got the wrong eeprom.bin, put old one in and redo backup from evox then try again, if you have another pc try that
chief424: a spanner? not sure what your asking, be more clear

Alright... Is it possible to have more than one eemprom on my xbox? Could I have put my softmoded eemprom on my xboxhdm 1.9 disc?
If that is what I did, how do you guys think I should go about finding the REAL eemprom on my xbox?
Am I even making sense?

Chief424: What tut are you looking at...I have the same dashboard and was successful in softmodding my xbox using this tut:

...just having problem locking my HD.
error55o: Yeah, I'm still having the same problem. I followed someone else's advice to load the save game while the game is in the xbox (007 is what i used for the exploit) and FTP the C: at the installation menu b/c this is the real C: not the virtual C: SO I did this and made a new iso and burned it, but i still get the same error message. Anything else you (or anyone else can think of?)

Try redoing the back up of the original hard drive's c and e, I know it sounds stupid but sometimes FTP messes up a transfer or two, while its in there redo your eeprom.bin too, I had a bad FTP copy when I did mine but I then used XBMC to copy all the c and e drives over to my pc (just like using on old explorer that has network connections via SMB)
Try it, It may just work this time
Also try a differant computer, I had issues with 4 of the 5 I have

yahoo333: copy the C and E you cvan see, dont worry if it's not the proper C, the softmod uses the virtual c to protect your EEPROM.BIN
so copy the c and e you can see.

Chief424: Not too sure about how that tut would work out (never tried it)...i would suggest that you use the one i linked earlier. I was fairly quick and easy. You can ask me for any help you may need. Here is another tut that i have tried and it worked just fine, it requires pretty much the same equipment (your dashboard version will work). THere is also a video on the top of the page that you can follow, you cant mess it up.

error55o: I think thats what i will do, i only tried it on two computers, i will have to look around to try a few more now that i see that it took 5 computers for yours to work, thanks man.
