ok! im no noob, ive been softmodding xbox's for about two or so years so i feel bad that i cant get this right...my friend got this xbox that was broken for free and couldnt figure it out...it came on with the error 5 problem and it not modded already so i tried to hot swap it just to put another ms dash on it, update the dash and try and lock it, but its kinda difficult with no password to lock the HD. Ive tried cloning the hard drive with the same standard ms dash on another hard drive and got to error 16 instead. now that i got the second hard drive to show error 16 i thought i was making progress until i tried every damn tutorial i could to get it off error 16 and failed, any help would be great!!!
Ive tried hotswapping, i dont know the kernel, i dont have the eeprom, and i do have the original hd which is error 5 at the moment.

That's weird.. error5 is unlocked.. now how have you locked the other drive to an unknown eeprom? .. I think theres something funny going on here. Try another IDE cable.

yeah thats y im confused! i can always get the error 05 on the 8 gb hard drive, but i cant lock it at all! and i dont have a eeprom at all so i have the other hard drive just trying to get the clock to work at the moment. my friend has a few xbox's and eventually ill pop his hard drive in my xbox to see if that restarts the clock
and unfortunately, this is the only ide cord i have, brand new computer!

I boot in Windows and then do the hotswap. Once I complete the hotswap, though, the computer stops detecting its own drive and only detects the XBOX drive. And so the system crashes. Also, when in the boot menu, it can't detect both drives at once. Any help?
YEAH TACO!!!!

Thank you for the excellent tutorial; I was able to hotswap while Windows XP was running and Xplorer360 had no trouble detecting the xbox hdd. For those of you having hotswap issues, I believe that my pc hdd was running as the master drive on channel 1 while the dvd-rom drive and cd-rom drives were set to the master and slave positions, respectively, on channel 2. After unplugging the IDE cable from both optical media drives, I plugged the IDE cable from the dvd-rom drive into the xbox hdd.

I fixed one using another modded xbox : I started the modded xbox with a rescue disc I downloaded then after the system reads the disc and you can see the options in the tv I unplug the hdd from power and ide and plugged the not working xbox's hdd then went back to the options in tv and choose "restore to factory settings" and that's it
Problem is I don't remember de name of the disc but if you look thorugh the site you'll find it .

very doubtful.. a pci-ide card will usually work.
have you tried the other fixes?? .. especially the cold booting a live game and allowing it to update the dash, then running the exploit again.

make sure to have the rest of the stuff you need all prepared.. and whatever you do don't even touch the lock/unlock tools or config magic... unless you want a brick.

have a hint for you as well.. unplug the dvd drive with hdd still connected.. let the box boot and it will go to error12 .. the hdd is then unlocked and will remain so as long as it is powered from the xbox psu.

if you already have slayers disc ...then try to get another modded xbox insert the "slayer's disc in the modded xbox...wait for it to load then unplug the hdd, plug the bad hdd and use the "restore to factory" ...that easy..
take it easy!!
