What error are you getting?..
5..no
6..no
7..no... } For these you will need to do this

16-21.. probably.
(please note.. There is no support for the eeprom reader now.. I can't be bothered and unicron hasn't been around in months... It works exactly as in the tutorial, make sure you follow it to the letter. It helps to use the external power to the device instead of powering the xbox.)

Hotswap will do the job just fine. Find xboxhdm v1.9 and a set of ms dash files (xbox-tribe) Then follow the instructions included with the program.

No need for error 16. The easiest way to get the drive to unlock is to unplug the dvd drive from the ide cable, when the xbox boots to error 12 the drive will be unlocked. :-)

You can also make a serial cable to read the eeprom off of the Xbox. Then you can lock the new drive with the correct eeprom, or unlock and fix things on the old drive.
We had to make one when a friend modded his Xbox and didn't bother backing things up. He had error code 16 also. Now to see how many broken Xboxes we can get our hands on for cheap to fix and give to family and friends.

Just to come back.. have you tried the hotswap fully, apart from the drive locking/unlocking stuff which you don't need?
All you will need is a full set of ms dash files, available from various places, TheReturn has links on his profile page and a R/W cd with xboxhdm1.9 made in the right way. I gave you the hint about unplugging the dvd drive as it worked well for me in the past. You will need to delete the E:\dashboard folder to be sure of a fix, and then just softmod the box again with your exploit game as the save should still be on the drive. :-)
