[/u]some info about the box
The xbox is chipped not sure what one it is? it has a blue light with 3 switches on it and the silicon board is red.
when you turn the xbox on you get a blue x or the standard green x depending on what switches are on.

trying it with a 80gb western digital hdd

when it boots it gives error 16



please any help would be amazing.

download and burn to a dvd-r "auto installer deluxe", thats about all i use anymore. it should see a blank drive and ask you if you want to format it. sounds like you might have an X3 chip

Does it give error 16 with both the new and the old drives?

I have been trying to use Slayers Evox Auto-Installer 2.7 but it does not seem to boot off it maybe its not a good dvd some times it looks like its tried to boot and can only read 1/2 the error screen
