I installed an Executer 3CE and turned on the Xbox. I got the cromwell menu and was trying to flash the BIOS - at some point, I pressed UNLOCK HDD. I was not successful in flashing the BIOS and now when I turn it on, it will either FRAG or give me an error 5.

I can't seem to get back to that cromwell menu screen and I can't figure out how I can lock the HDD in it's current state. I figured I'd run into problems with at some point during this mod install - just my luck. I have tried burring a bunch of bios DVD-R's (Verbatim) and booting with them and also trying to hold down the white button while booting and also pressing the power+eject like I read in the forums but nothing works.

So, I unlocked the HDD without having flashed the BIOS and am stuck as to what my options are at this point. I just want to play the new Splinter Cell game that I got. I read that I can somehow hook up the Xbox HDD to a PC to lock it, but all I have is a laptop - no desktop to use the cable to connect to the HDD.

Is my only option at this point to buy a new HDD for the Xbox and start from there?

Thanks in advance for any and all help.
