About you HDD. There is a way to clean it (fill it with zeros). But there is no need - waste of time. If you are going to clone it you will read the original HDD sector by sector and dump the output to the new HDD. So the cloning doesn't care about what's allready on the new HDD. It will be overwritten.

Alright thanks.. lol I hope your around right now, I need you again, lol..
.
Um, is there a program / how can I genereate hdd key for my new HD?

Also, the HDD password should be 32 characters right? Because I have one with 40 so I'm guessing that one isn't right. When I use unlockx it says enter password, I'm guessing thats the unique hdd key??? or is that that 40 character hting..

).

The unique HDD password is 20 bytes ( 40 characters) followed by 12 zero bytes (24 characters) as explained in a previous post. Where did you get this from?
When typing in the passwd you can omit the zeros.

OMFG...... I did everything and at the final step (making winhex copy from original to new one) I get stupid errors from winhex. I got the full version and everything.. I got the key from backup in the hddkey.ini or w/e...

I dunno what to do now.. I've tired 2 methods, wasted like 20 hours.... Argh

..... I want to do Idots method damn it...

Can anyone tell me this..I have a friend who upgraded my HD for my modded Xbox. If he did the same thing for this HD than I put it in my modded xbox and put the exploits on it than put it in non modded xbox, would it work? Can someone suggest any other tricks or anything because I don't think I'm going to get any of these methods to work in order to get my new HD to work. I wish oh how I wish I had a CD burner that worked

How do I unlock my friggin' HD... I tried my HD password (40 characters) from my old HD, the HD password for my new HD (got it from using Idots thing).. I got the program to work and anything, but than I couldn't unlock. I tried different passwords that maybe someone put in by accident or something. I think it's locked because of my first attempt and now I can't get it unlocked. Is there anyway I can get it unlocked by using a floppy disk or CD or something. hdunlock is NOT working nor is unlockx .. Please someone help!

OK - you have the eeprom from you unmodded HDD on the CD (in the eeprom folder), and you run the "HDD password generator" to get the password, and this password doesn't unlock the HDD? Do you have the very latest version of xboxhdm (v.1.3). There was a bug in the password generation in the previous version. Maybe try booting to windows and running liveinfo (remember to load eeprom) to verify that you get the same password.
If this doesn't unlock your HDD then it could be that you at some point during your ungoing struggle locked it with a incorrect password. If you ran the locking utility from floppy you will find some log-files on the floppy that might lett you dig out what password you could have used.

You could prepare the HDD on your modded xbox. Then after you are done generate a HDD password for this HDD with the eeprom from your unmodded xbox. Lock it and you are done.

Yeah I generated HD key and all that stuff.. I THINK I know why. I used a different computer when I failed before using your program and my friend told me it has to be on the same mother board. So I have to go back to that computer and unlock it and it should work.

BTW, is there anything I have to do with your program to copy all the files on to the HD? Does it do it automatically when I go to build HD from scratch or something?

ldots · « **Reply #39 on:** May 12, 2004, 11:11:00 AM »

It copies everything from the C and E folders on the CD automatically when building from scratch. Again this is only true for the latest version, so please get that.

BlazinKhan · « **Reply #40 on:** May 12, 2004, 01:42:00 PM »

Yeah I got & used 1.3 when I did it.. I'll to my friends house tomorrow (since I used his HD to originally lock) and I'll try it. Thanks again Idots.

Just a quick run through for what I have to do...
Put CD in, start up w/ HD in.. Unlock, build HD from scratch, lock (with the generated PW)

Oh and um I just typed in hdkey when it told me my HD is locked and I can't do it. It brought up a screen with my hdd key and pw. That is the right one I'm assuming since it's the only HD in and it tells me the model and everything and gives me hdd key + pw.

Hey Idots.. After I'm done everything will F:/ be useable or do I have to do something in the evox.ini ?

BlazinKhan · « **Reply #44 on:** May 19, 2004, 10:56:00 AM »

Alright that's fine.. So than I can just leave my old C and E (with all the stuff in them) and than do the softmod stuff later..

Joy.. Thanks again, and lets hope it works .. I'm going to try it this Friday!

Oh and um do I just put that softpack folder in linux and do the rest like usual?
