ok so i just started reading this page and i need help my friends xbox sometimes freaks out and in the start up screen i get the xbox needs serviced mesage and its error code seven but the box has never been opened does this mean that we should crack it open and check the cables just to be sure because all that it needs is to be shut off and when it starts up again just to be tapped on the side and it works again. i dont really want to open up his box but its really old when we want to do anything with it should i open it?
hah i dont even have an xbox

Ouch, I kind ahad the same problem if you read jus tbefore you. Apparently my HDD is broken, but my friend says he may be able to crak open the HDD and realign the disks. Hes taken some computer insides classes and stuff.. and since it cant be repaired anyway, Im letting him have a whack at it.
Poor you though.. did yours make any funny noises too?

Well, think of it this way.. since most games are compatable for 360 that are from XBOX, its really.. up to you. If you dont care, then opening it up and risking breaking something migh tbe ok because youll have the 360 anyway, but if it is working right now though you have to give it a whack or two.. then at least its still working and you have it as well as a 360..
I guess what Im saying is.. if you want to crack it open, either research it alot so you cant possible mess up, or get someone who is willing to do it for you or knows how. Like me.. mines permenantly broken though, so I dont mind letting my computer maintenance buddy have a whack at the insides.

@ mtnbkr
just open it and make sure the ide and power cables for your hd and dvd drive are pushed in all the way, there is no reason for it to be not worth doing.

hey whats up guys i have a softmodded xbox that has an error 16 ( i accidently formatted my c drive which wiped it all out), ive heard that chipping my xbox will fix everything, if this is true what would be the best chip to use, and what would be the easiest install of that chip? prefferably i would like to save as much money as possible buying this too...i just want my xbox back its been a paperwieght for the last year. i was also thinking of upgrading to a 250 gb harddrive too, if i bought that could i just put ms dash onto that and then just use that hdd. would that get me around error 16?

ok i'm bout to become crazy, i've been searching for solution for a long time, i have an xbox with error 16, and i have a blank hdd, i don´t have a friend to lend me his hdd and i don't want to solderize any thing to my xbox, it's softmodded with evox but i don't have the eeprom nor hdd password.
I tried using atapwd with my hdd installed on my pc but i get the message secondary master disk error before even reading the floppy.
The proble is i have to give the blank hdd in a week so i really need some help.
I tried booting the xbox with slayer auto installer 2.7 but nothing, just a little delay before the error screen, i can´t FTP, load games, dvd's, nothing.
I tried hotswapping but didn't work, and i have been reading tutorials making an xbox hdd from a blank hdd, but i cant partition it as required, so i'm stuck,
Maybe trying tu unlock the hdd with master password team assembly might help, but i cant get my pc to recognize the hdd.
please i coul really use some help.

@ shawty
your friends hd wont do crap for you because it is locked to a different eeprom, you will have to get hotswap to work, install a chip, or get/make an eeprom reader.

Hello, i have a xbox v1.6, softmodded with xbmc installed from Aid v4.02 disc.
Anyway, i was looking through some of the programs that came with it and i accidently unlocked the hdd with configmagic!
So now everytime i switch my xbox on i get an error 05 screen and it doesn't go past it.
I have the eeprom backed up, but it is on the not working hdd.
I have tried connecting my xbox hd to the primary ide and booting up xbhdm, then running xbrowser, i can see the eeprom file in the UDATA folder, but i cannot back it up to anything. I have tried putting in a floppy, but i don't know where the floppy directory will be (there is a floppy directory, but when i copy files onto it, it doesn't show up on the floppy)
Another thing, i made a bootable floppy with ATAPWD.EXE, HDLOCK.EXE & HDUNLOCK.EXE. I ran ATAPWD.EXE and it says the drive is frozen. How would i unfreeze the drive? OR fix my 05 error.
Will there be a way doing it without a modchip.
Thanks.

ok i'm posotive that hotswap will work, but i read in the guide that the microsoft logo needs to appear, but i can´t find a way to do that, maybe with a file burned to a dvd or certain game, or trying to boot into a different error code, i read 13, 14, 20 & 21 are easier

ok rae07's post here http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/3/335995
is what has helped me the most, i got to launch xboxhdm and all that, but the problem is my pc wont recognize the xbox hdd, i even tried connecting it directly to the pc in order to use xplorer 360 but at the screen that says hit f1 to run setup and f12 to boot from the network, a message says "secondary master disk error", no matter if i connect it to primary, master, slave, or anything, the same error keeps popping up, how can i get rid of this error?
also, i read you can build an xbox hdd from scratch with xboxhdm, i have a blank one that i could use, but how do i do it, i think maybe if i load the ms dash and evox, making it load before the ms dash, i wont need the eeprom, then i can go to ms dash from evox, set the clock, remove the hdd, put the original one in, boot the xbox with splinter cell in it, (as i read error 13 can load games), then go to linux and activate a partial FTP
would anything mentioned work?

you cant use a hard drive on a softmod without the eeprom on it, but you say it can load games? then just put in your game you softmoded with and load the installer and FTP to it to get the eeprom amd either use FTP to fix what needs to be fixed or use xboxhdm to create a hard drive from scratch.

ok makybe i didn't explain myself, i have error 16, can't load games, i meant that if i could turn it into 13 by installing another hdd and logging into ms dash (from evox), then i could set the clock, but foget about it, know i know i cant load another hdd without eeprom, so my only option is hotswap or installing the hdd directly, but as i told you, when i connect the xbox hdd, an error that says secondary, master, primary, slave, or whatever i place it to be, says to have an error and boot directly into windows without recognizing it, this is the only thing keeping me from doing it.
