How did you go about writing the new eeprom to the 1.6?

Did you unlock the hdd before doing so?

What do you mean by "mixed it's data with the original eeprom"?

It's likely you've put yourself in a pretty bad situation, but you need to provide some details as to the specific steps you took in order to determine what that situation is, and how to go about fixing (if you even can at this point).

Ok i made a CDRW with the original eeprom on it but i could nt get it to work... went to launch items flash and it wouldnt fit. thats what the error said.
Uhm i got the eeprom that screwed up my XBOX on my pc.
Dont think i can restore the eeprom i backed up on xenium cause it wont unlock the HD.

Well, bluewoodz failed to provide any details on his situation, but it sounds like he didnt unlock his hdd before he blew away his original eeprom.  This means his hdd is locked with a key which has now gone off to that great big bit bucket in the sky, with his original eeprom.... leaving him with an unlockable hdd.

If so... then it's time go go shopping for a new drive, and mourn the loss of savegames.

Yes, you're right, you know oh so much more then me, i'm just a random n00b.

Oh why didn't I see how much of an idiot I am?

Nevermind the fact that I coded XeniumOS, know the xbox architechture and firmware backwards and forwards, and have a well established reputation and history for being one of the most prominent developers of groundbreaking and legal software for the xbox.

You don't need my lowly assistance, you've got The Great Cromwell to solve all of your problems.

You just go right on ahead and keep laughing.

I wish I was that smart. Wow people really know how to fuck up shit. I have no idea how people just fuck up shit. They make mod chips that protect your eeprom and people still fuck it up some how. I wish I was like bluewoods.
