I know when to admit defeat, and today is that shameful day. My friend threw in a stock hard drive and it worked fine. I am just so sorry that I made this topic with that elaborate title and crazy hypothesis. In all of my experiences with xbox modding, I had never come across this and was basically scared shitless when it happenned. We formatted it twice in EvoX and it didn't help. And then, the errors with the exploits. It all had me thinking "Oh my god, this is it, the day MS finally caught up to us" I guess I was wrong, WAY wrong, and I'm glad that I was. I hope everybody can forgive me in this "noob" moment. I'm sorry and I admit I was wrong in pointing fingers and not asking instead. Well, if I learned anything from this, it's that you guys are really f'in smart (like I didn't know already), MS still sucks, and making a topic with the title "Every single person must read this NOW! actually does work if you're looking for a million replies in little time .
