Okay, I've been a softmodder for about since the orignal xbox came out. I've used XBMC and XBconnect and multiple stuff on it, I had a 320 gb harddrive in it, but it recently crashed. (it just died it wont turn on) So i reverted back to my orginal drive, but i get an error code 6 how do i fix that? I dont care about any saves or anything, I just want to have a dashboard to boot to, or at least my Slayers disc

6 - kernel - Cannot unlock HDD

If you understand the above, you should be able to understand what this means. It means you are trying to boot up the xbox with an harddisk that is locked in combination with ANOTHER motherboard than you are using it with right now.

What can i do about it, you ask? Well place the harddisk back in the xbox where it came from. After that, UNLOCK the harddisk with the same procedure i explained above (see error 5). Now when the harddisk is UNLOCKED, put it in the xbox which gave you the error. Now when you boot up with the chip ON it should not give you an error anymore.

However when you put the xbox on with the chip OFF your xbox will give you an error. (error 5) So to make sure you can boot original and boot with the chip ON. Next do the same as above: "Boot up your xbox with the chip on. Preferrably with a slayer evo-x cd. Now you choose "Eeprom management." Than you choose: "Lock hdd." It takes one second. After its ready it should say something like "Done"
When it is ready just turn off your xbox. Disable your chip and try to boot original. Now there should be no more error.

HDD is probably stuffed. If you have been softmodding since the dawn of time, you'll no doubt have the eeprom backed up. Just get a new HDD and load it up with the eeprom!
