wait...
The color cables is power cables.
the gray wide cable is IDE cable.
If can disconnect both power cables and IDE cables from dvd drives.
But that IDE cable still connects to motherboard. And the other end of it will connect xbox hdd.
YOU NEED to re-read the tutor.

Ok ok i will NOT remove the colour cables (power) i will keep them plugged in i will do this Quote: ok.
The first slot is called IDE 2 that goes to DVD drives right?
If yes, make sure PC is off. Then just disconnect this IDE cable from 2 DVD drives. But it still connect to motherboard.
Turn on PC, to see if it boot to window normally. PC should boot normally. But you dont see any DVD drives.
If it boots normally, then turn off pc. Then you are ready to do hotswap.
and will still follow your tut thanks TheReturn :)

Backup everything to PC first.
Your MS dash in Backup on Partition4
Did you read "Restore xbox hdd to manufacturing codition" on my tut? Just do like that.

Right its getting on my nerves now.... i did this..
After you have xplorer360 to access xbox hdd, then you can tell partition 3 is C drive and partition 4 is E drive.
So you want to make the xbox back to manufacturing condition, then follow this:
Partition3:/Audio, Fonts, xboxdashdata, xodash, xboxdash.xbe, Xbox.xtf, Xboxbook.xtf
Partiton4:/UDATA, TDATA
Partition 0-2 is empty
NOTE: UDATA and TDATA folders are EMPTY. Partition 3 has the complete clean working MS dash. I deleted the files in UDATA and TDATA because you said they are empty i made sure i had the same files as it said it had in the list above check it and its still not working have i done anything wqrong ?????????
I STILL HAVE ALL THE FILES ON MY PC so if you can be kind and tell me what i need and dont it would save me money thanks

is this what you have on xbox hdd right now?
Partition3:/Audio, Fonts, xboxdashdata, xodash, xboxdash.xbe, Xbox.xtf, Xboxbook.xtf
Partiton4:/UDATA, TDATA (2 folders are empty)
Partition 0-2 is empty
If YES and you still have error 21, then do hotswap again.
Delete everything in Partition 3.
Copy all files and folders in Backup/MS/ from PC to partition 3. So you will have like this
Partition3:/Audio, Fonts, xboxdashdata, xodash, xboxdash.xbe, Xbox.xtf, Xboxbook.xtf
Put xbox hdd back to Xbox. Reboot. It should work.
