Two Hard Drives And Neither Work
« on: July 01, 2007, 11:48:00 PM »

I have a motherboard not sure of version, but i have the hard drive that came with it and i have the hd key for ti as well. when i try to boot it it comes up as error 16. im pretty sure it was soft modded but messed up when it was done.

I also have a soft modded 40 gig hard drive that was soft modded for another motherboard, and when i try to boot it up using the new motherboard, i get error 5. does anybody know if there is anything i can do?

The error 16 HDD can be rebuilt with XBOXHDM since you DO have the eeprom.

If the 2nd HDD gets error 5 then it just needs to be locked with the correct key (from the eeprom). Are you sure it's not error 6 (locked to another mobo/eeprom)?
