If it has backed up the HD key or the eeprom
100 percent

it would have probably been cheaper to buy your torx screwdrivers
from your local poundland I bought some new ones recently £1 (lol)

Yeh thats true. We live quite a way from anything, so it was ideal. When i see something i usually want it! Thanks for your help guys, i will post when its all ready to be done!

OK im still waiting for the screwdrivers (bank holiday today in the UK so the postal service has decided to jump on the bandwagon!) but i have found a text document on my PC from when i backed up a copy of the xbox hdd to my pc. It has the hdd's unlock code in it! How do i go about locking the hdd again when i can open up the xbox?

cool im from the uk too and i thnk you have to use a program called hdd unlock to lock it again after you put the hard drive in your pc!

if you have a backup of ur eeprom on ur pc get xboxhdm then read the tutorial on how to make a bootable disk if u dont have a copy of a c drive get 1 from a slayers disk, once you've made the disk hook your x box HD to ur pc and and boot up your pc then wen u choose option 1 u can rebuild the HD from scratch once you've done that lock the drive put it back in your xbox and you should have a standard xbox again, you then just need to put ur softmod back on

and then never use install disks if u want to change nething just ftp

have you sorted this yet?

if you have a backup on your pc you can use xbhdm to do it.
if the backup is on the xbox drive then you HAVE to use a chip, there is no other way around it.
trust me i know, i did the same to two xboxes (thought i would have learnt wouldnt u?)

i ended up buying a chip to lock it, cost 20 quid from online shop gives u so much more to do with your xbox too.

if you want any help pm me
