No; i sent an e-mail to the provider today b/c i paid for express mailing w/ an estimated delivery date of 14 Sept. Maybe "someone" is looking out for me and i get it on Friday so that I'm not up untill 3 a.m. on a work night messing w/ the XBOX. LOL.
But it needs to hurry up already, i'm lookng foward to having a little fun w/ the old box.

Hey guys.
Sorry if this questions been asked but I tried looking through the various pages but 41 was to many >_>
I used evox to backup my eeprom then ftp'd a copy of it and my C: and E: drives onto my PC. Put them into the various locations of xboxhdm as the guide said and created the boot DVD.
Unplugged my HDDs and connected the replacement HDD onto the IDE connection as the master and the DVD player as secondary.
(I checked the working HDD lists and the HDD I am using is listed as working with xboxhdm).
I boot the computer from DVD, it loads fine and goes to the first menu, I pick option 1, it does some loading then goes to the command menu and I type in xhoxhd.
It says starting process or something, then gives me about 15 lines of errors saying that it can't find the linux CD. (the errors are all the same, like it tried to do it several times).

@rapturer....
Try using an older pIII. My newer emachines will not boot the linux cd either... I have to take out an old "frame" of a computer like an 800mhz with 64mb ram and use it to do all my Xboxes...I do not know why, couldnt explain it, I just know its the way it is....

You should be prepared to read thru threads to help yourself before asking or whilst awaiting an answer, plus this is one of the very reasons that threads get so long in the first place...
Yesterday on a different site i had to read thru a 59 page thread before asking questions/before attempting to fix something myself, no way was i going to ask any questions until i could be sure i couldn't help myself first, plus there's no point making others have to read thru extra posts due to unwillingness to read the provided (free) advice.
Just a polite pointer from someone who believes in self help..

@ Swango
Thanks! Worked perfectly, just a minor bump in the road. I couldn't figure out while UnleashX wouldn't load, so i uninstalled, then re-installed. Still wasn't loading AAARGGHHHHH, so i did a little research and found if i didn't set the Clock it prevents UnleashX from loading.

WOW!! That FLASH FXP is a B1tch! I just spent hours (since the last post) trying to set it up with no luck. :( I looked through the help forum, but nothing seems to apply to me, i just cant get the xbox to show. here is what i got....
Cable modem, connect to a Netgear WGR614v7 router. From the router to my Desktop, then out of another port to my xbox. My PC showed me this when i ran the network config
IP Adress: 10.0.0.2
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default: 10.0.0.1
I set my XBOX IP to 10.0.0.10
(went to propertes like in the Flash FXP guide changed it from auto ip detect to these settings)
Added new MY XBOX in Flash FXP enterned in the info hit connect, and error error error. It says it cant connect.
Any ideas? ( I promise i have read pages of info about this but none of it seems to apply)

Don't bother with that FlashFXP crap, try something decent (and free) - FileZilla works great.. i'll see if i can find which guide(s) keep recommending FlashFXP and i'll see if i can change it, people are always having trouble with FlashFXP.

Cool, i'll google it also. First thing I'm gonna try when I get home is just using a Crossover cable. I seen a vid on Youtube using it w/ vista that looked pretty easy. Though that wont be untill tonight, i'll report back on how it goes. By the time i saw the video last night it was just too late.

well now everytime i connect DHCP or Static it sets my xbox ip to 0.0.0.0
Now i don't have any idea what is going on, i ditched my $15 x-over cable (bought today), reconnected to my router, skipped the whole step where i mess w/ my internet connection properties on my computer, and did a quick connect w/ the ip that finally showed on my xbox, now im connected, WEIRD...hopefully i don't loose this now!

Ok not trying to overwhelm you guys but I'm getting frustrated a little. I read the guide Swango linked to update HD, i've read through it and posted my question there as well, but it's been dead for a while so I'm just gonna keep running with this one also.
I made the disk, booted my computer, but what happens is during step one i type 1 xboxhd it says:
isolinux/faximage.........................................
Loading/intrid.gz................................................................................
The secound lines exact txt may be a little off
-then the screen goes black, and my computer just idles,
Just some extra info if i choose option 3 from the boot menu, and type unlockhd -a it finds my HD and says it is unlockable, so i know it knows my HDD is inthere
Any ideas? Thanks for all the help guys..

@Altus
Try reburning the disc and make sure all the files are in the correct places before you burn them. If everything is correct and it still doesnt start, try an older pentium III computer to boot the disc from with your hdd in that... My Pentium 4 doesnt work to do this method and I hear that is common that newer computers will not recognize this disc properly...

Well, i had read that the disk doesn't burn right sometimes, so i tried it 4x.Never any luck. i dont have access to an older computer, i mean my desktop is like 5 yrs old, but maybe even that is too new. Thanks for the help, i guess im going to just have to burn to disk, I'll just figure out how to install XBMC and do that, save emulators on the xbox and just be able to play backups burnt to disk. Dont know if i would have gotten into all this if i knew that was going to be the ultimate outcome though.............
Last question about that damM FTP - My problem is that i cant get it to connect on my Laptop w/ Vista, which is what i really need cause the Desktop w/ XP is old and slow (as dirt). I've followed the two different guides which have been linked to me and read through them but cant quit swing it. I've also googled myself silly.
I set my XBOX to Static mode in Network settings punch in the Ip 192.168.0.3/net mask 255.255.255.0/Gateway same as IP
Then i open my network sharing center>manage networks>properties locate v4 internet connection>properties>click on the manual connection circle and enter in my settings the suggested IP/netmask/gateway(I've also tried all different combos of numbers that other guides recommended)
Then i open Flash FXP (i also have tried smart FXP like you suggested swango) and built the connection - then I type in the IP address and password & try to connect, Smart FXP says the xbox isn't responding, Flash just trys over and over saying Connection faild (connection timed out)
**If i try the DHCP route instead of Static like some of the guides U tube recommended every time i reboot the xbox while connected to my computer the IP comes up 0.0.0.0 (which is crap)
I am trying to use the Crossover Cable Method and i am using a crossover cable for sure :)
*****I know its alot of stuff but i just want to try and give you guys all the info possible****
Any more ideas out there? LOL, b/c I'm lost its midnight and i have been at this FTP and that stupid HDD since about 630 pm, no success :(

While I'm not a network expert, I noticed a discrepency in the statement above. I apologise if you've already checked this, however, it's possible you may have a setting messed up somewhere. Remember, both the Xbox and PC you connect it to via crossover need to be set with manual IP addresses as there is no DNS server running between direct-connect devices (typically).
Here's a sample setup for both the PC and the Xbox. Please note that while any device with proper TCP/IP support can be the Gateway, the following assumes that you are using the PC as the Gateway device.
PC:
IP - 192.168.0.1
Net Mask - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.0.1
DNS - 192.168.0.1
Xbox:
IP - 192.168.0.2
Net Mask - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.0.1
DNS - 192.168.0.1
Notice that the Gateway and DNS entries point back to the PC? That's intentional!! This trick sets up direct TCP/IP communication between just about any PC or network device and could even be extended to multiple machines through the use of hubs or switches.
Personally, I'd say screw the crossover, connect it directly to your router with a straight cable and set it to DHCP. Once booted, see if you can connect to the IP address listed on the screen
Hope this helps,

Yes I agree with skipping the crossover and I appollogize, you do set to DHCP not Static to get an IP that looks like 192.168.1.103 this is the method I use that works with a straight cable and a router.
