You need to run the bootinst.bat from the flash drive. Anyway it won't help you as my testers have yet to report back on the locking feature which was last reported by them as not working yet.

[Infamous Ob]

Well Im not worried about the locking feature if I cant even get the Program to even run....

I ran the the bootinst from my flash, and now what?

CODE

How to use:
1. Copy all the folders and files except xboxhdm to USB flash drive.
2. Run bootinst.bat from slax folder of flash drive.
3. Copy xboxhdm folder to PC and populate the C/E/F folders as normal, run make-iso-win and copy the linux.iso to the flash drive to replace the iso there. In eeprom folder on flash drive, place your eeprom.bin
4. Boot from USB. Choose option 1 in boot menu.
5. Click on the terminal icon (looks like a PC screen) and type xboxhdm2. Follow the menu options.
6. For cloning, type clonehd in the terminal.
7. Once stage 2 done, type xboxhdm2 again to lock.

From the first post.

I already did, but nothing happened, Im just going to try to run the XboxHDM off of CD rom.

[Infamous Ob]

Like I said, I've been using the CD-Rom edition alot lately. I mastered it but theonly problem is I need to redo it. Im missing important files.

I got the error

invalid option - - d

and the drive is not locked

Seems that the command line options of hdlock from CVS differ from the version used in xboxhdm original. Or it could be the lockhd shell script. This will take a while to fix - if I can figure out how to do it and I'm not entirely sure at this point.

Hello

I came across Xboxhdm2 a few days ago after finding this very thread from google.
I decided to give it a go as no matter what i done i could not get Xboxhdm booting from CD, the iso would boot in a VM but burn it to CD and it failed.

So a USB version is keeping my pile of coasters down

I have followed the set up instructions, and boot from the USB drive, Slax starts up and runs fine

Open a terminal and type xboxhd2
that starts up and gives the warning, I type yes
i select option 1 for primary master
read the warning and type Yes

I then get an error

qemu: could not open disk image /mnt/sda/linux.iso

reading other posts in this thread i think i find the answer as i do not have sda but do have sda1

so at the prompt i type

/usr/local/bin/qemu -hda /dev/hdb -cdrom /mnt/sda1/linux.iso -boot d

but then i get a "can not open (or it might have been mount) /dev/hdb image (something along those lines should have written it down)

So i play around a bit with that line, leaving bits out changing bits see if i can get any where with it but no luck.
So i come back here hoping some one can help?

The set up is as follows

The USB drive to boot from.
The new hard drive set as primary master on IDE channel,
No other drives connected to the system at all.

The drive is windows partitioned if this makes any difference ? i just assumed that xboxhdm would sort that out.
I am very much a linux noob with work and play making me 99.9% a windows user
But i am willing to learn and try.

Hope someone can point me in the right direction as i really want to complete this and so far this utility has got me further along than any other i have given a go.

Thanks
Keith

OK last night i set up the usb flash drive, booted the PC from it twice, it booted into Slax

Tonight i strip down the PC again and stick in the new drive for the xbox, boot from the same flash drive,
It will not boot.

Get to "looking for data directory" and then get fatal error occured - slax data not found, then a load more stuff about maybe fixing by copying slax data to c:/slax (or the linux equal)

so back into windows, format the usb stick and re do the process,

Boot form it and same error again,

So now i cant even get into slax to run xboxhdm

[Dr Zoidberg]

Well problems solved and the xbox is now running a bigger drive,
No need for boot CD's or boot USB sticks,
Connect new drive as pri master, old xbox drive as sec master,
Boot windows from 3rd master
Fire up VMWare
create new virtual machine, add 2 disks (the 2 real disks) as pri master and sec master,
mount the linux.iso in virtual cdrom
Boot virtual machine and away you go, pick the option to clone drives and let it do its thing.
Lock drive and pop it in the xbox, FTP into it and format F

So much easyer wish i thought on doing that before,

It must be something to do with the hardware as to why my system keeps failing to boot from cd's or USb with this on them, i have not had any problems with other boot disks. yet VMware will boot the iso that i burn to disk no problems.

Hi I try to use your aplicattion but I have a problem

I get the error:

could not open disk image mnt/sda/linux.iso

and I serch for my USB devices and I look is mounted in mnt/sda1/

I have the same problem to lock HD because the eeprom.bin is not found.

Same error here /sda1
cant find the eeprom.bin file

help

ho to put path manually?

[aznhacka]

lol after alot of trial and error i figured that your could just do

mkdir /mnt/sda
umount -a
mount -t vfat /dev/sda* /mnt/sda

where * is the number usually 1 anywayz but everything will werk fine after that but i get only that far and it formats the partitions correctly....but rebuildin it dosent seem to work    maybe need to restart xboxhd2 script after each time u use it?

[aznhacka]

ah figured it out lol    turns out u cant use the xboxhdm 1.9 thats included with it u need a fresh new copy lol i feel kinda stupid
