That's not right. Check the XYZ thread. It's not a preemptive ban, because your Xbox isn't even connecting to the XBL network (you'll get an "Xbox Live Not Found" message when you try the connection wizard). If your banned you get a different message ("Can't connect beause your Xbox hardware may have been modified"-type message).

  The Y=00C2 value indicates a configuration problem, which could be a number of things. For example, there have been some that noted that chaning the DVD Mode/Region settings have fixed their 00C2 code (specifically, they changed the XBOX to PAL and then back to NTSC using the Enigmah Video Switcher app). Personally, I have the 00C2 code, and tried the NTSC->PAL->NTSC switch and it did not work for me.

That sucks!  Can anyone else verify this?  If true, do I need another HD AND EEPROM?!

Well SilentViper, I am definetly not one to do any kind of thinking for myself, I read it on the topic in XBOX live forum on the "Marriage Theory."

**UPDATE**
I Replaced My EEPROM And/Or HDD But Now getting Live Not Found...What Gives?

Well from what I have been reading lately it seems you are unfortunately banned again, and this error is a precursor to the actual Modified Hardware error. I guess MS can detect broken marriages as soon as you log in and prevent you from even accessing Live until they add you to the banned list.

My Theory as to why this is happening like this:

I believe MS has instated a sort of Live password as part of the Marriage security measures. Live prompts your xbox for a login of sorts, this login is the same as your EEPROM serial number. It then asks for a password, this password is your HDs lock code or HD serial number. If they do not match what MS has on file on their servers you cannot connect to Live (Live Not Found) and it adds your EEPROM serial to the list of pending bans (same as folks who log in with a hacked bios) If it is a EEPROM they do not have on file they put it on file with the HD code and thus the marriage takes place.

This explains why people who change HDs without changing eeprom cannot access Live at all (since the "password" isnt correct they cant log in) and then only later get th emodified hardware error (after the "classic" ban has been processed)

But if you are banned, you'll need another EEPROM and Hard Drive...sucks!!!

EDIT
and....I'm an idiot, definetly did not see that the grandmaster (morrowind) of the marriage theory had already answered ya.

[eh.]

@HornstarBU: no worries (and someone please correct me if I'm mistaken!) but I think you'll find that Gumba masterminded the marriage theory ... shortly after I posted, coincidentally and independently, about disk drive changes being a potential cause of the November bans.

I didn't mean to imply that you were ignorant or an idiot.  I just didn't have time at work to dig any deeper, so I just posted.
