hi chunkhead
you mentioned chimps early on in this tut.
i have downloaded it and unzipped it and,
following the tut for it, have structured
it as you see in the pic. the files in green
had to be moved out of the folder 62D6xxxxxx
so that folder is now empty and the files
have moved up the file tree. i have done this
correctly have i? if i have i will FTP the
UDATA folder to clone my original drive.

Hello everyone!
I followed the steps on the tutorial with no problems. I'm using a 30Gb Maxtor drive and had no problem with locking/unlocking.
I created a new Xbox hd but the thing is that when i set up Evox or any dashboard, it shows me the F partition with 0 space. When creating the drive with xbox hdm, it showed aroun 22Gigs of space.
Oh and I cant FTP into F drive...
Any ideas on this topic??
Thanks, Liopord

Hey Chunk head!
I'm getting this error after the second screen where it says on the tut to "press 1 again 'Build a new HD from scratch'"
Looking for CD-ROM in /dev/hdt....
Mount: Mounting /dev/det/hdt on /xboxhdm failed: No such device or address.
No Linux disc was found.
Everything went so smooth till this point.
What could the problem be? A bad CD-RW?

Made a new CD and it does the same damn thing!
Im useing a seagate 160g, my PC's main cables for its drives are SATA but I do have one IDE that I hook the HDD I wanna use into. Could this be some sort of problem? I have also switched the jumper, but it looks to be the files I used themself and nothing hardware related.

Just done a HDD upgrade to a 200 WD.
all looks fine except for there is only about 130gb accounted for.
Tried to format "G drive" with UnleashX but nothing shows up..
I eventually figured out that the "password was wrong" due to me not using a capital "X" ie Xbox as per the tut..
still not space on G:
What am I doing wrong please ??

Dude what the hell are you talking about? What exactly do you want to do? Hot swap and upgrade or softmod with mechassult?

Wow that made less sense than the last post.
Ok to get the AID disc to work you need to softmod the XBOX or get a chip. Get a Copy of the first Splinter Cell ( not a burned copy ) then get a memory card and ask these questions in the softmods forums!
Tip: If you have a friend with a modded XBOX then you can DL the installer files and FTP them to the memory card you need to use with it in his XBOX controller.
Another TIP: READ THE SOFTMOD TOPICS!!!!!!!! You will get alot further that way!

Ok, saying "shit" isn't a good idea. When you softmod, you can choose between the EvoX dashboard, and the UnleashX.

If you open that EEPROM & compair it with the serial number on the base of your console.. they should be the same.
IF it is , then thats the eeprom you need , IF NOT look again till you find the correct 1 that matches..
Then build a disk to make a new hdd & unlock your old 1 so you can use it for something else.

Check C: and let us know what is in it.

How did you upgrade the HDD? Did you use HDmaker? You should have done F: with that. Did you chek the jumper on the back of the HDD? One setting limits the space.

You should have something above blank called backup. Inside that should be the eeprom. If not make a installer disc andback it up. Use the AID disc found here:
software

so that folder called backup inside blank is not the actual eeprom? and what does the eeprom file look like(ie, extension, size, name) cuz the one i had was called AID something....another question, what do i do with the SID? just install a softmod on top of my softmod already and backup the eeprom again or just backup the eeprom, cuz i see that AID has a newer version than the one i have(AID4.0) from over a year ago....thanks

You could just back up the eeprom but I would install the softmod all over again if it were me. It seems something went wrong. The download comes with a read me.
Just follow it or one of the more popular softmod tuts here on the forum. Like I said it should be in backup just above blank. It is eeprom.bin 0.3KB.
Get the latest version like I said and find the update to add on then burn it to a disc and run it on the box. Its easy, I put all my faith in my AID discs. If something goes wrong I always turn to the discs.
