I have my backup of my original ms files on my restore cd (xboxhdm).  Will this work or will I need to get the ones from slayers disk?  I cant seem to find slayers disc on xbins.  I know I cant ask for it so I wont.  Errr....bout ready to kick it!

Ok here is what I am doing.

I take the retail HD and I have the power hooked from the xbox to it and the ide cable plugged into it....I have it sitting out of the case in a convenient spot for me to work with it.  Now I have a pc sitting next to it with the case opened up.  I have the pc powered off.  I power on the xbox.....when I see the bix green x I remove the ide cable and plug in the ide cable of the pc, while leaving the power cord to the HD plugged into it from the xbox and leaving the xbox on.  I then turn on the pc while the HD is still powered on and assumed to be unlocked.  The pc detects the drive but xboxhdm is having issues with it saying there is no HD hooked up.  Maybe I am not pulling the cable soon enough?

Now when EXACTLY do I start to remove the ide cable....when i see the flubber animation or when the BIG X starts to appear or when the BIG X is huge and solid and no animation is going on.....

From what I read I dont have long.  So I will probably need a pretty fast pc to boot up with the xboxhd cd.  I tried plugging pc's ide cable into the drive after the pc started up but the bios seemed to get picky about that and did not recognize it, although linux saw it, xboxhdm did not.  A faster pc will probably help in this situation.

Damn this is getting on my nerves....lol.  I just cant seem to get it at the right moment.

Either I get it too late and xboxhd says its locked, or xboxhd doesnt see the drive at all.  I think it might be the bios on that pc.  Maybe if I tried a newer machine.
