You need an eeprom reader - see my signature for details.

Only if you can find the Linux equivalent of Ponyprog to read the eeprom.

Here you go:

You don't insert the eeprom into the drive. You use it to lock and unlock the drive.

As it's unclear what happened, you'd be better off redoing the softmod with xboxhdm. See the link in my signature " Softmod with eeprom".

The issue with that is the PC i'm using for all of this has a bad primary IDE channel, so xboxhdm is not working >.< I do however have an xbox with a modchip and it's booting Hexen, so can i format the drive with hexen?

btw, anyone using the RPM for PonyProg, if you run into issues saying libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 is missing, google this package and install it:
libstdc++2.10-2.96-0.83mdk.i586.rpm
