I have read alot of tutorials for getting a cloned HD with Chimp on my xbox, i have EVERYTHING set up: 1 new hdd (was used before by a friend, and had a virus on it, still might have it on it), 1 xbox version 1.0, and a pc that i can use to attach the molex power cord to the hd. i would use xbhdm but the computer im using doesnt plug into my monitor.
now, when i scan for the hd on the ide cable, it shows up as /dev/hdb. now i unlock it, and disable security. that works. now here is my problem, i hit clone hd, press exit once it comes up with first menu that makes sure i have the right harddrive in the right position (slave and master) new hd on slave, softmodded hd on master. i hit exit, brings me to a new window, this one asks yes or no to wipe out and format /dev/hdb. i hit yes. then it freezes. happens to all my other harddrives i've tried it on and its really about to make me rip out my hair with tweezers. if anyone can help i will be most thankful. the hdd i am using IS lockable, but just yesterday after trying to unlock it, it said the drive was frozen. but when i went to check if it still was today, it wasnt. my ide cable broke on the dvd part, so i cant pull it out, other wise i wont have a dvd drive anymore. so ill be doing this with my friends xbox, which is also a v1.0
i have learned alot lately about the xbox, and modchips, softmods, linux on the xbox, all that good stuff, but only because of my ban. after i got banned twice, which was a dumb mistake for me to do, desperate in answers, i search all over the internet, each answer leading to a new question. i have recently found
the answer to my xbhdm problem, which is that i need a different computer. hopefully my friend ryan will bring his computer home from his dads house so i may tinker with it, but until then, its chimp v2.4. any help at all is very appreciated.
