this is the deal:

i had a v1.0 box with a 2.6 n f***ed up the mod so i got a new 1.6 board and psu from ebay with the LPC already rebuilt and d0 point pre-soldered.

i read that it doesnt matter about the LAN and HD wires when soldering so installed the chip without.

Now as soon as i plugged the box in it turned itself on and came up with the flashBIOS screen. (i am using my hi-fi power cable as i lost my old cable...i dont know if this affexts the box?!?!)

everything is plugged in as it should be and the flash protect is off. but it says it cannont detect my hdd (its a western digital stock hdd that came with the box). iv checked everything many times and im still getting this error.

i have an excelstor 80gb to go in but i want to just check everything is working first before i put that hdd in.

can anyone help me with this problem as the tutorial didnt say how to fix the problem.

p.s. i read thru countless posts but the titles of most are a bit vague so i mite have missed an answer to this problem. i am sorry if i have. many thanks!

if it is your hd from your old motherboard and the hd is locked,it is worthless to the new motherboard...might as well just install your new hd.

yep, make sure the disc is in the xbox before you turn it on...that way the xbox boots from the dvd drive and not the hd.
