How Is This Possible?

biggrin.gif. You were installing a new hdd right? The password you get from the evox backup is for you old HDD, and will not work for the new drive. That's why you should run the "Generate hdd password" option in xboxhd.

But you dont have to! Since you know the hdd password you used (your old one), you can just unlock the HDD with this password. Then boot xboxhdm with the HDD on primary master. Run xboxhd and choose the "Generate HDD password" option to get the correct key. Then lock!

Bah... I got the BSOD after all that :'( .... I'm going to try it again.  Btw, in the fonts folder (since I'm doing the exploit) I have bert.xtf, ernie.xtf, xbox book.xtf, xbox.xft than I have xbox book.fnt & xbox.fnt .. Are those two suppose to be in there?

Also, another thing... Since I'm getting the BSOD & it was flashing red (xbox light) what should I do?  I'm going to reburn the CD and try everything over .. Lets hope it works this time.. Idots, can you give me your AIM s/n please? lol..

dry.gif Another thing... In the isolinux there was an initrd.gz (winzip file)  I just left it as is.. Should I unzip it and put the file along with the zip in that folder?  Or delete the zip and put the file.. Just need to know these minor things, so I can get it to work !

Oh and should I put my backup folder in C too??

I've given up with Idots method.. I'm moving on to the 8 step one.. It's short, but I can't get my computer to read both the original hard drive (as secondary slave) and new hard drive (primary slave).  My computer is primary master.  It won't read it either of them.. It's getting very annnoying !

In the fonts folder you should not have both bert and ernie and the original fonts with the same extension (*.xtf). If you use Mech fonts the originals must be renamed to *.bak. With other fonts you can rename them to what you want. Like *.fnt (trying to run Thc dash eh?).

Having both B&E and the original fonts with same extension could very well be the reason for your BSOD.

Why dont you try to just build a working non-modded HDD to begin with???

And you shouldn't touch anything in the xboxhdm folder. Only add your C-drive files in linux/C and optionally your E-drive files in linux/E. Then put your eeprom.bin in linux/eeprom. Nothing else! It's easy man, just ask previous users tongue.gif

See, I'd want to do it, but now I can't even burn the CD.  One of the files maybe messed up or something because it keeps failing to burn.  I'll try it again, I suppose.. but, is there anyway I can completely clean my new HD (so I can start over)  Thanks again Idots !

oh and I used MechAssault and I just want EvoX on my new HDD than I'll install ThC dash myself, so I'll get rid of those .fnt I suppose..

Another thing I was wondering... I have a friend whose really good with this stuff and he could easily install stuff on to it, but he doesn't know anything about the exploit.  So could he put the MS dash on it than I could do the exploit and work from there?

If you messed up some files in the xboxhdm package I would recommend re-downloading it.

Then pack the C and E folders in the xboxhdm/linux dir. and put the eeprom.bin in xboxhdm/linux/eeprom as explained before. Why not try and pack the C dir with un-modded files to be sure you get a working HDD to begin with. If you want to start all over on your HDD then choose the "wipe current fatx partition table" when you boot xboxhdm and run the xboxhd tool.

Does you kernel support PBL? (below 5530). If so, pack the C dir with dash 4920 (get it from Slayers if you dont have it). Then an easy install of the audio and font hack, aswell as PBL and Evox is supplied by a softmod package I put together for xboxhdm. Check the last link of my sig.

 uhh.gif  Not sure what you mean.
If you mean pack the xboxhdm CD with the regular MS dash and original files, then yes - that's what I  would recommend you to do to be sure you can get this HDD going.

Didn't you allready try with all the stuff? Why not start with getting your HDD to work. Then mod it? Like packing your CD with the C-drive from Slayers (if your kernel allows downgrading) and your eeprom. That cant go wrong (shouldn't at least). You can always add exploits later on...

Well I wasted about 5 CDs on trying to burn it lol.. It keeps saying Medium Not Present (I'm using Nero) after about 5 minutes of burning (about 5%).  I'm pretty sure my CD burner is busted so I'm going to try another method which is easy..It's only 8 steps and all you have to do is clone the old one onto new one using winhex.  Only problem is hooking up 3Hd at once :|

Idots, you probably know this.. Is there any way I clean the new HD completely since I put stuff on it from my previous attempt.. Thanks !
