You have to set up the partions and format a new drive before the apps will recoginise it. You can use a program like evox_newhd_lg.

If you just want to slap a new hd into the xbox you have to run evox_newhd. This will partition and format the drives, c,e,f,x,y,z. Then you can start installing apps and stuff.

Your mod chip, does it support hd swapping? This is will it boot from a cdrw to setup the drive?

Ok sorry to be redundant.
You installed the 120 with master or cable select jumper on...
With this drive installed you tried to boot up a cdrw...
When you did this you got error 7, something about the hd from your bios?(which bios?)

x2 4977 or 4799 one of the 2 lol .....and umm d.6 evox bios both had error 7 on both slave and master settings

Did you have a Cdrw in to boot. The error 7 is expected if you install a blank drive. When install a bootable cdrw it should boot to it. Then you can run the drive setup.

also this is my last post for now I will be back on in about 6 hours. If you post quickly I can respond, otherwise I will check ya out later.
