Hey guys,
Here's an update on my situation. Once again, it's a v1.3 xbox with an x2.3b pro installed, and I upgraded the HD to an 80 gig 7200rpm Seagate.
Anyway, when I used Slayer's Evo-X to prepare the new HD and install the various apps (and then used ConfigMagic Final, which I installed myself), I couldn't play on Live - well, I couldn't connect, kept getting an "Xbox Live not found" error, even though the chip was turned off and all the cables were plugged in - the Y
code was 00C2-0060.
I reformatted the 80 gig drive and used the "long" method of preparing the HD, using a PC and LiveInfo, hdlock/hdunlock, and Norton Ghost to clone the Xbox HD to the 80 gig HD. Now I can play on Live no problem! the Y
code (when router is disconnected from internet) is now 008C-0060.
Hope this helps some of you guys out there.
Here's a link to the tutorial I used:
