I'm trying to upgrade the HD in my v1.1 xbox with a X2.2 lite chip

old drive is a maxtor 120gb drive

new one is a WD 500gb drive.

My bios is now x2 5035 126+

got a power splitter.
I boot.  
run Chimp
unplug my dvd drive ide cable
plug cable into 500 gb drive
chose option 1 in chimp
i see both drives
I chose option 2 in chimp.
i still see both drives
I click yes to start cloning

it dumps me out and says "error: out of memory".

Now i know I could unlock the main drive, hook it up to a PC, blah blah blah.  but I really wanted to try out chimp.

any ideas?

If you have a chip you don't need to use chimp - just drop the new disk into the xbox, boot with Slayers, and format the drive and set it up - the Slayers manual explains how to do it. Then get hold of XBPartitioner 1.1 (the latest version) an use that to format the G partition - if you don't you'll get data corruption as the disk fills up.

I reflashed to the 5035 and got rid of the 137+ part.

everything seemed fine.


I put the new drive in.

booted up in slayers.


did a "new install"

it formatted the drive into 1 big F drive.

booted up AID.  loaded config magic to lock the drive.  drive locked.


Now when it boots up, sometimes I get "error 13" and it wont even load the dvd disc.  sometimes I get error 14.  sometimes it does boot, but it pauses like 15 seconds between the bios screen and actually booting into XBMC.

I've tried

this new drive has weird options for slave/master jumper.

so far i've tried

cable select
slave or master
master with slave present

jumper positions.  that doesnt seem to help.


I put my old 120 gb drive back in and it works like a champ.


any ideas?

I googled the errors

found that was a bad dashboard.


but it was randomly booting.



formatted c drive.  reinstalled C.


good to go!
