I really need help. I have been reading forums for about two weeks on how to softmod my xbox and install a new 80gb HD. Its a 1.6 version its not modded in any way and I needed a way to do this without using a memory card, without the games mech assault or 007, and without using a chip cause I read that xbox versions 1.6 put a lot of stress on a little cable when you have a hardmod. So I finally decided I was going to hot swap it and using xboxhd I was going to make a backup of my original HD and then install the new one. I think I made many mistakes in the process. First of all when I burned my linux cd I read many times that in the eeprom folder I had to put config magic's eeprom, then in the C and E folders I had the files of a friend's softmodded HD I had retreived by ftp, they were bert and ernie fOnts... it had unleashX and xbmc... etc. After making the cd I proceded to doing the hot swap, it went perfectly, the xbox unlocked my original HD and I could access the files through 'xbrowser' in the xboxhd linux program. So first of all I went into the xboxhd program and picked -----1) Boot VGA console with xbox-drive utilities (default)------ 6) Generate HD Key (requires eeprom), this gave me the hd key and the hd password. Then I went to ----3) Boot linux with locking/unlocking utilities then I chose to lock the hd with the password generated by the bin file and that set the master password to XBOXSCENE after I did this I unlocked it and went to the 'xbrowser'. In the C folder on my CD I had the softmod files of my friends HD so I could simply write those to my new 80gb HD and I never wanted to change anything on my stock HD, I just wanted to make a backup just in case you never know. But when I was in 'xbrowser' I was going to hit the F3 button with lets you see whats in the file (cause I was curious) and I hit F4 (most stupid mistake from all the other mistakes I made), F4 said EDIT, so I got a black screen and I started pressing delete or exit because I wanted to go back to the 'xbrowser' and nothing happened so I was getting kind of desperate and I started pressing all the keys on my keboard finally I had to turn off my pc and restart again. When I went to the 'xbrowser' I had renamed ALL the files on my stock HD, I do mean all, everything, TODO. The only folder left untouched was the Audio folder. I was about to have a heart attack because I wanted to keep that HD because I play on xbox live and I was planning on switching Hard Drives everytime I wished to play. So goodbye xbox live. I didn't know what to do so I went to the xboxhd menu and I got the one that said ------2) Rebuild C-partition on existing Xbox-drive--- I was like ok I wont be able to play live but at least I will make the softmod. So I started putting the files I had on my CD on my stock HD without having my backup because I renamed everything. BIG MISTAKE. After I did this I locked my HD and connected it back to my xbox. I booted up and got error 13, I rebuilded my C partition again. Now the xbox boots up, but never goes into the ms dashboard, it just stays in the big X at the boot, but I get no errors, no error 5, no error 6, no error 13. It just stays there. Then I read that you have to use your own eeprom and thats the one I should have burned on the cd. Now I don't know what to do, I have no backup to look for my original eeprom, and my stock HD has the files of another HD from another XBOX. If anybody knows what I could do to fix my xbox, I don't care if I have to put a Chip, I just want it to work again. I hope there is a chance. Its the first time I have ever done this and I will never do it again, I promise.
