No luck

I got the EEPROMBackup.bin from config magic, and renamed it eeprom.bin. I got through xboxhdm good, but when I tried to lock the drive it said "eeprom not found". That was a new one on me.


I originaly hot swapped, and softmodded, the retail hdd using this method. I used the shademan softmod.

http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/332766

I'v done it about four times, no problem, but this is the first time I'v tried to put in a bigger hdd.


The first thing I did after hotswap, is to backup C and E to my PC hdd. My question is, what would be the most noob proof way of obtaining the right eeprom? Can I get it off the backup of the original some way?

Its gotta be something simple I'm missing

Please help

I'm goin in again

Ok, so I fixed the problem, sorta.

I robbed a floppy from an OLD box i got from gramps, and I hooked it up. I then made the floppy using my eeprom, and booted from the floppy.

The floppy locking worked, and then I put the drive in my xbox and it booted.

One little thing, I redid the formatting when it didn't work the first time, and forgot to copy the E:\ and F:\ drives over...

So it booted into the XBOX dashboard, but I just unlocked it, and am trying again, hopefully this time it works.

Thanks for the tut.

EDIT:

I forgot my manners,

I ABSOLUTELY FREAKING LOVE YOU FOR THIS

I did everything the guide said to do when making a new Xbox HDD for softmodded xbox's. When I copy games using DVD2Xbox they freeze up when I launch them. When I luanch Halo, the main menu screen comes up but when I try to login or load multiplayer, an error comes up and leads me back to the Halo menu. It seems like it's having trouble accessing a partition on the HD or some thing.... please help if any1 else has had this happen to them. Every single game I rip to the hard drive freezes once I try to play them!!

clear my cache? This could very well be the problem. How do i do this? Where are the files located on the hd to delete? as for the post above, No it cant be my dvd drive. Thing is every thing works fine with the original HDD. Im only getting freeze ups with my new HDD. It's a 120 GB SeaGate drive. I know it has to be supported becuase i looked at a website and no one else was having problems with it. Maybe I need a mod chip to get games to work with new HDD. IM thinking of getting an Xecuter V3 soon, hope fully it'll fix things.

I'm having major problems upgrading to a seagate 750gb drive. First of all it is lockeable and is on lists and I have read topics about exact drive being used by others on xbox-scene. So no, "it's not lockeable" comments lol. My stock drive is softmodded with evox, dont know what version but it has been softmodded for about 2 years. 007 gamesave mod. I'm using xboxhdm, I have copied my c and e drives and my eeprom folder and burned them on disc, it loads up fine. I have created the password(option 6) then burned a floppy(option 7) I can't get it to read my eeprom from my floppy when i set my pc to boot from it to get the password. When I go into the "lockhd" and it gives me the -a -f -p options to type. no matter which one or what combination i try, it gives me bad command, or command not found, something like that. I can't get it to lock. I am about to lose my mind!!! I've tried everything I know to do. I have all hdd passwords written down, from evox, and config magic. Can somebody please help me? I've read this whole thread from start to finish and many others! Thanks!! I paid almost $300 for this drive, I have to figure this out!!! lol HELLP!! This is a great forum. Most everybody seems very helpful and not as many flamers as xbox-scene. Hard to get any help there.....
