Error 21 On A Brand New Hdd
« on: February 02, 2020, 08:20:00 PM »

So i've got my hands on an unmodded xbox, tried to do the hotswap with endure, failed misserably and eventually the original hdd died with no backup whatsoever(noob). After reading the eeprom with a serial cablie i got a maxtor 80gb hdd that locks. So i've tried to just put the original files on the C drive, but it won't boot. It's either Error 16 or Error 21, depending on the system files i put on it (from slayers or A.I.D,also some others from rapidshare). This has been driving me nuts for the last couple of days and i can't seem to resolve it.

See the link in my signature - Build a new softmod disk with eeprom.

Oh, and it's NDURE, not endure......

Sorry for the typos, i was lacking sleep 'cause the hdd thing kept bugging me. Anyway, if anyone encouters the same problem as mine there is a simple solution. Got another hdd. It seems the one i was using was full of bad sectors. As soon as i tried the same steps with the other hdd everything went smooth
