no he didn't.. he trashed his eeprom with config magic like so many n00bs do.

now a little FYI.. the eeprom is a little 8 legged chip on the mobo.. it contains some strange stuff including the hdd locking code.

The trashed one.. well you will have to get a VALID xbox eeprom file and reflash the actual chip (not the xecuter or anything else.. the eeprom on the mobo) with the new valid eeprom image.. then the chip will be able to lock the hdd to that image.

How do you propose using the 1.6 eeprom data to lock to the different eeprom image in the 1.2?.. please.. there is a big well written guide about all things eeprom.. read it carefully.. because it's very clear about exactly what you need to do.

ok well i guess i give up . its toast i suppose . i rebuilt c drive , locked it and same same . so its my opinion that nothing i do will work because i need to reflash the eeprom on the motherboard . and i have no clue on that . however , i have a V1.0 with a dead hd, is there any way i can install the x3 ce in it and put the stock hd from the 1.2 with the hosed eeprom and use the x3ce to lock the hd to the v1.0 m/b ? and it will work ? any comments would be handy . i appreciate all the help .

yes it can be done . know why ? cuz i did it . i took the hd out of the v1.2 xbox with fried eeprom and put it in a good xbox with a bad hd . installed the x3ce chip . it works . btw i hooked the hd up to my pc and unlocked it with xboxhdm first then put it in the xbox , then locked it with the x3ce . easy . painless . i hope this helps somebody .
