Why in the world would you hot swap it?

Just go back into the Knaves installer, and select uninstall soft mod.....


Did you have another HDD in it too? If you did, just put the old one back in and boom. It will boot right away. Assuming the original HDD was still locked, you should not have a prob.

@juno_567 - 14yrs old doesn't mean foul language is necessary/allowed on forums.

What the hell is wrong with the youth these days? I wanted more info SO I COULD HELP YOU!!!!!!!!!

Back to business.....

You state you already have the eeprom. Just rebuild the HDD using xboxhdm. Follow this guide. You should be able to rebuild the HDD.

Have some patience. That is the best advice I can give you. If you get frustrated you will more than likely make a mistake like you did with the hotswap.
