I'm currently trying with xboxhdm1.9, but I've tried with xboxhdm2.2 as well.  The C files are in the correct folder.

you tried XboxHDM2.1 yet?
try a stock M$ dashbaord from Slayers 2.6 - soft mod if you have to using 2.1
I dont use Ndure exploit btw - both my xbox's are chipped.
I think Heimdall's advice is good.

Was (briefly) testing today...

I need to report that I was unable to get the DOS un/locking tools working in is current form (will not find the FreeDOS folder)

A simple work around is to move ALL the files from the FreeDOS folder to the root of the USB stick (overwriting anything in its path) & delete the FreeDOS folder.

I have not used FreeDOS/xboxhdm2.2 for >1 year & I assume FreeDOS is hardly used now   as there has been no reports about this. If there is any demand I will upload a 'fixed' version so that FreeDOS will work as it should.

This is a side effect of RMPrepUSB? I will welcome your update to fix it for users of hdm2.2.

Having a bit of an issue with this.
Trying to build a new HDD with an eeprom.bin, M$ Dash files, Ndure 3.1 and XBMC in E:.
Have only the new HDD on Primary Master, nothing else connected.

Got as far as QEMU opening and selecting 'xboxhd' but when I choose 'Option 1' to build a new HDD from scratch, I get the error, "Searching for linux-CDROM....     Cannot find it "

Have I just missed some files when copying across, is this something to do with using USB-Boot_Utilities/BOOTABLE_USB-DRIVE script to make my USB drive boot or do I need to make-iso-win?

Thanks for any help.

No ISO needed. Just populate the folders as per instructions on the title page.
Moreover - support for Ndure in v2.2 is only experimental.
Follow this recent thread that discussed the issues that may lie ahead and possible solutions

Thanks for the link.
If I  can find a CD-RW lying around (so I can leave the disc "open" to drag 'n' drop different EEPROMs) I'll give v1.9 a go.
Otherwise, I'll use EEPROMs and ConfigMagic with my modchipped Xbox although Heimdall has previously stated that the versions (v1-1.5 or v1.6) are likely to need to be the same for this method to work as hoped.
I've used it once and it worked fine.

Thanks for the help.

2.2 never really worked for me, i can unlock drives with it but locking never worked, I can dissable har disk in bios or connect it after post and 2.2 dosentdetect the drive, so i just use 1.9

[Millenia1x]

so I'm trying to build a new hard drive with xboxhdm 2.2 and have the eeprom from the old hard drive thats dying and is modded

I downloaded slayers to get the c and e drive virgin from it and used that with the eeprom, and I

format partition first
build the drive
then install f drive

then I close out Qemu and try to lock the hard drive but it always reported as frozen so I connect the hard drive after the pc bios loads then lock it, and put it in the xbox and it gives an error every time

anyone know a way to get it to work, the compatibility site says the drive worls.

[shambles1980]

I have to use xboxhdm 1.9 to lock hard drives.
So i simply just use that 2.2 never worked for me when it came to locking, It never detects the hard disk when i disable it in the bios but 1.9 works

Has anybody ever gotten XboxHDM 2.2 to do a working softmod? I've been looking throughout the forums and trying every which way (using NDURE 3.1) , but all I ever get is error 29 or hanging on the xbox logo. I'd use Xplorer360 but it just locks up the computer when I hotswap the xbox drive. Can't use 1.9 because I only have 1 IDE channel on my computer. Suppose I could shell out the $20 bucks for a usb adapter and a game, but there must be some way to get this softmod to work with a usb stick and hotswapping.

well if you have read through this thread thoroughly - you'd probably form the opinion (correctly) that Ndure & xboxhdm2.2 in all likelihood doesnt work. in saying that spliff721 succeeded (long overdue thanks btw spliff721 for that).
i never got it to work & it was only ever experimental - moreover it seems xboxhdm2.2 does not lock correctly.
certainly is possible to create your HDD by hotswapping & USB stick
personally I would recommend xboxhdm2.1
I created the USB in the usual way (RTFM) and used Krayzie_SC-PAL_Ndure_Installer_v1.1 for my softmod - not Ndure!!

[shambles1980]

just like to add you only need 1 ide channel to use xboxhdm 1.9 but your ide cable needs 2 connectors 1 for the hard disk (master) and 1 for the cd. (slave)

[scullc]

tested xboxhdm2.1 again (just to be sure) - working great  
i easily I rebuilt a 8gb HDD with a customised C & E - booted 1st time with no errors
locked & unlocked with hdparm/hdm tools - no problems
unlocked with atatpwd too - no problems
in conclusion - working!!

therefore please stop using (if indeed anyone is) xboxhdm2.2 until I figure out a solution! as file copying is corrupted (I suspect the boot loader) & un/locking may also be unreliable.
you are currently recommended to use xboxhdm2.1
find the download here: http://sourceforge.n.....m2/Final 2.1/

[scullc]

xboxhdm2.2 is working again  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I changed the bootloader back to grub4dos (I assume the frequent updates to remprep_usb knocked out the bootloader).
FreeDOS is working again. Heres what it looks like now (ugly but working!)

(IMG:http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab99/cifa/22a.jpg)

I used the same customised C & E & it booted 1st time with no errors & no truncated files. See below

(IMG:http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab99/cifa/xboxhdm22-original_grub.jpg)

I also easily locked & unlocked with hdparm/hdm tools - no problems.
I also unlocked with master passwords on atapwd too - no problems

Note:
I consider this working release a final personal build & will not be supporting it.
I will get the 1st post updated in due course.
 
Download here (156mb): http://ge.tt/8p5Sw69?c

quick install notes:

1. Extract zipped files to the root of USB stick
2. Populate the /hdm/C folder with the M$ Dashboard files.
3. Populate the /hdm/E folder with any chosen files (games saves etc) that you require installed.
4. Add the eeprom to /eeprom if you intend to un/lock
5. Follow these instructions to install the MBR to get your USB drive to multiboot (**make sure you select the right drive to install the MBR to. Get it wrong and you could brick your PC!)

[scullc]

just to be clear - you only need to download the Installer (ver 1.1) on the above grub4dos link & follow the install instructions from Section 1 - (Installing Grub4DOS) only.
the grldr is already in the zip file!
