ok i want to think thereturn for being so hopfull and patient with me...i got the 1 out of 3 xboxs working...well my second one had the same error 21 as the first but when i did the hotswap and did everything the same way and see if it worked it came up with a error 21...now it teased me at first becase i seen the clock thing almost come up
but then here came the error 21...now the diffrence is that there is tons of files on his c partion...way more that mine looks like 2 version of the dashbored and a sid file and a lil of everything...now what im wanting to know if i delete all files on here and install the new dashbored would that fix it? im hoping for a quick reply

so did you get your hard drive unlocked by hotswapping? what exactly did you do? and if it is working, you should be able to rebuild it now and get it working with the link i posted back a bit!

if its unlocked and you have access to it as well as the hdd key from the eeprom file, you will be able to! but i would like to know, how did you hotswap it? what steps did you take ? was the reason for hotswapping because when you turn xbox on, error21 came up?

also, if you can hook it up to your pc because its unlocked, you should be able to use xplorer360 to put the dash back on it, it works like explorer, just drag the files where there suppose to go! there are alot of write ups on it in afterdawn!

i am not sure where it is, should be in one of your partitions though! but what i was told, all you should have to do now, since you have xplorer360 working, is dump the corrupt files where they must go, or if your hdd is unlocked, you could use the link that i supplyied from tech freaks and just rebuild it! by the way, what version of xplorer are you using, and if you are planning to hotswap again, can you look in my computer to see if it shows up there!

the way i understand it, if your hdd is unlocked, you can hook it up to your pc, just your xbox hard drive as only hard drive in your pc, boot from the cd or dvd you just made following the instructions, then you should be able to!
