Hdd Error Code 13

It could just be that one of the programs you installed overwrote the xboxdash.xbe Dashboard.  If you boot an EvoX CD, you can FTP in and fix whatever problems exist on C:\.

Thanks, thats what I thought I may have to do, but when I put my Evox CD in I still get the same error, it seems to boot from the HDD first by default? Any idea how can I get my machine to boot from the CD first?

Once the error is onscreen, you're not going anywhere with that boot.  To get the disc to boot without hitting the hard drive first, power the unit on, open the DVD tray, and drop in the EvoX disc.  It doesn't matter yet if it fails with error 13 or not.  Just close the tray with the disc in and power off completely.  Power on again, but using the power button (not the eject button) and the Xbox will detect the presence of a disc and load that first, without checking the hard drive contents.  EvoX should boot and you can then FTP in and see what's going on in C:.

this shit was a nightmare for me man. I was in the proccess, and I kept getting the errors too, and it wouldn't unlock my drive. So my drive desides to give up all hope. It sparked, then smoked. Then it didn't turn on again after that haha. So now I have to get a new HDD. Luckily I have the xboxhdm huh?
