I just recently softmodded my xbox and found that the old HDD didn't have enough room to fit everything i wanted to put on it (not even close), so i decided to format an old 160gb HD that i had sitting, collecting dust.
I wrote the linux.iso obtained from XBOX HDM 1.9, which had my eeprom, c and e drives.
i went through all the steps described, got my HD partitioned, formated, and had the E and C drives installed (along with a formatted f drive.)
i used the linux locking tools to lock my hd, success.
upon putting it back in the box i found when it booted, i got this error:
06 "Service Required. Call Customer Support"
so, i did some searching and found that my HD is not being unlocked during its post.
what to do?
My softmod was obtained via this webside, the SID.NAVE installer 4. I used splinter cell to softmod it also.
AS stated eariler, i didnt have any troubles with it, just the fact that during boot, my new HD will not unlock.
THE hd i was using is a Hitachi Deskstar, 160GB
Model No: HDT722516DLAT80
anyhelp would be much appriciated

well i think i might have come up with a solution.
Un-Softmod my orginal xbox HD, and run the slayers evox disk (it wont run with my softmodded HD), and then, unplug my original HD and plug it into me other, larger HD. format it and build a new HD
why? well some of the other posts about HD's wont beable to unlock because its on a different motherboard caught my eye. If i format it on the xbox motherboard, i might beable to fix my problem
any feedback?

well, i recently tried something i found on-line, didnt work.
what i did was:
unlocked the HD
booted to MS DASH on working xbox hd
played a song
hotswaped HD's
got ERROR 21
rebooted
supposedly, its supposed to help an error 5, dont know how.
any ideas ( i have yet to try re-installing/reformatting my HD using my XBOX and EVOX slayer disk 2.7 )

Does your xbox boot games? If so, then you can boot the softmod installer again, and hit Restore MS backup (or something like, haven't had error 21 in awhile).

yes, my xbox orginal HD works fine, and the olny problem i am having is getting my other HD which i formatted with XBOX HDM 1.9 to unlock/lock on my xbox.
the error 21 was part of a method i heard of for getting rid of an error 5.
i am going to try running the mod uninstaller from the game disk today, maybe that will solve my problems (i dont own the game, i rented it to do the softmod, so im going to have to re-rent it.)

Wait, do you physically have error 21? If so, then run the mod installer again, if not, I don't know, because I have never upgraded my HDD.

more bad news.
since my last post, i tried a few different things to reformat my xbox.
I tried to format it through FTP, and through XBOX HDM a 2nd time
But i was unable to due to the fact that it was already formated.
So i whiped the partition tables, and tried to re-format it.
didnt work.
now i have a 160gb paper weight.
im going to retry this with a 60gb hd, maybe that will work when i run it through xbox hdm 1.9

I really can't help you much, because I honestly never have upgraded my HDD.
