I could use a lot of help. A while back my hard drive started making a clunking noise and giving me wat looks like error 07. It finally quit for about a week and then started up again. I've gotten new IDE cables and they are deffinetly in right. A friend of mine from work says his did the same thing and that he used a CD to flash his hard drive and it fixed the problem, but he always seems to dissapear whenever I want to use the CD. I am also 100% sure that my Xbox is not and has never been modded. So if anybody can help me solve this problem or knows if that CD flash would work and were to find one I would be greatfull. My birthday is tomorrow and I wanted to go onto live and have some fun with friends that are out of town. Thanx again.

Two of my friends soft modded their xboxes. One of them says error 13. The other says error 21. Would hotswapping be the only method to fix them. They said they turned it on and it said that. What are the ways you could get these error messages!

Do you have just the profile on your xbox or do you have the linux installer also?

ya, for me, i have error code 7, so it just doesnt load. but when i kick the xbox (i figured this out on accident BTW) i can hear the disc inside start spinning again. So i reboot, it works, and after like 5 minutes it says my disc is dirty or damaged. Anyone know how to solve this problem? maybe a cord loose or something. (And you shouldn't kick your xbox all of you)

Ok, if there are any softmodders out there with problems concerning the error codes, and your xbox will still let you play games, put in Halo 2. Try signing into live. You'll most likely get a connection or network error. If you do, choose to start troubleshooter. You should be able to from there somewhere auto update your xbox. This will restore it to its original state (without softmods) and not delete any of your precious saved files.
I found this an easy way to reinstall things like the original dash. Only thing is you'll have to re-mod your xbox after you do this, because it gets rid of all the linux based files used to softmod your xbox.
If that doesn't fix it or you can't load games... I don't really have a suggestion. Refer to the error info at the beginning of this thread for that.
In regards to hardmodding, considering it is mods to the hardware and not software (well, the actual chip anyway), some of its more annoying errors may not be as easily fixed. I used to softmod and have just gotten an Xecuter 2.6 CE, so i'm a total noob to hardmodding for the most part.
And, i have one question. What do i need to do to actually use the modchip? I have a bios, but don't know how to get it to the xbox. I read that you need to use Nero to make an iso dvd and name it BIOS.BIN or something. I can't do it though, because my xbox won't read burned cd-r's. I also don't have Nero. I can't burn dvd's either.
Is there any way to ftp my xbox to the pc in this situation? I have a Thompson DVD drive if that means anything. It comes up with the FlashBIOS 3.3 screen, and has the options "enable network flashing," "load BIOS from HDD", and "load BIOS from Disc." Along with the unlock/lock hdd options. I tried using a cd-r named BIOS.BIN with the file BIOS.BIN on it.
I already made the file into the .bin, with the 1024KB size that i heard was needed for a 1.6 XBOX with Bank 2 on.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

This is a strange error that does not come up very often, but if you have a boot disk like Slayers or Firefuckers it is easy to fix. First off, if you have a modchip and it has some type of on/off function, make sure it is turned ON. Next insert the boot disk into the xbox and reboot. Once it has rebooted and has booted to the installer disk screen, there is an option to lock/unlock the hard drive just click unlock and you should be good to go.
I know this is about the same that is in the tutorial, but it is fool proof and has worked for me in the past. depending on the mod chip you have, there are certain button strokes that can be pressed to enable and disable features in the bios. Now Im not sure if they have the function to lock/unlock your hard drive, but you never know.

as far as I know, NO. I think there is one chip out there that can do this function, but Im not sure.

You almost have it right.
First off, if the chip is installed correctly, the you will see the bios screen when you boot up the xbox, which you did. Good!
Next you do need to find to correct bios for your chip. once you do this, you need to burn it to a dvd, BUT make sure you burn a dummy file with the bios and make sure the dummy files is at the very least 300mb. If you dont know how to make one its easy. all you need to do is find any file on your pc that is fairly large and just name it dummy.dat (the .dat is the important part) and burn it to the disk.
here is a tutorial on how to do so: http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/flashbios.php
Once you do this you xbox should reconize your disk and you will be able to flash your mod chip.
If the mod chip is flashed correctly, then the next time you reboot your xbox you should she the old microsoft dashboard. Once you get to this point you can load your custom dashboard of your choice (I like XBMC or UnleashX, but XBMC is my default). Good Luck
