ok I'm using ATAPWD to unlock the hard drives I had screwed up

but now i ran into a second problem.

I used HDMaker right?
I did everything according
but when the moment to lockhd came about ... cannot find eeprom...
baaah I tried several methods of getting the eeproms, I used configmagic, avalaunch and evox still no go
I need the hard drive locked in order to play!!

well umm is it possible to use config magic in a hotswap and lock the hd? sounds abit risky but I will wait for answers about that xx;;;

How did you screw them up? What is wrong with them?

I really don't know what you are using.

Apparently you are trying to get the eeprom from the Xbox.

Are you trying to lock or unlock the hard drive? You post it both ways.

Adding:

Item "Backup",ID_Backup

To Evox should back up the eeprom. FTP into the Xbox and look for it. If you used Krazie's Ndure to softmod the Xbox, there should be an eeprom.bin file in the E:\Temp\Backup folder or the E:\Dashboard\Backup folder.

Sorry to be so harsh on you, but when you put a title like that and don't explain your problems, it hits a nerve.

Wow, what a descriptive title. I'm amazed you haven't received tons of replies trying to help you with your problem.

Then your post. Your problems seem to jump off the page at me.

lol sorry I was hoping someone would notice, anyway

the thing is I tried switching xbox consoles I took the files from an old worn down xbox that seemed to go haywire sometimes, it was a hard modded system, I switched to soft mod but still experienced weird dvdrom haywire, dvd tray opens up when the power cord is plugged in, the front panet buttons dont work

I took the eeprom, the c drive, and e drive files from the old one; made a disc using the xbox hd maker
and unlocked it

on the new xbox the one thats still...well lets say virgin as it was never been modded before, I soft modded it and took the files from there and the eeprom in its folder in the Xbox HD Maker, made the bootable disc

I formated the old drives to have the new xbox set up, I have no room in my computer for anything like the files in the xbox F and G were totally filled up. I didnt want to format those drives either. the rebuild finishes and when I turn to use the lockhd/unlockhd I type in lockhd -a I end up getting an error saying cannot find eeprom on cdrom and such.
I also tried set path manually to search for the eeprom using the options it gave me, still nothing

and yea im pretty much out of ideas on how to do this...

OK. On the new "virgin" Xbox. If it still has the original HD in it, FTP in and find the eeprom.bin file. FTP the C and E drives to the PC. You don't need the files off the old HD on the PC. Make the Xboxhdm disk with the new C and E drives. You should have the eeprom in one of the folders mentioned. If you can't find the eeprom, you probably didn't use Krazie's Ndure.

The old HD shouldn't be locked coming from a chipped Xbox. If it is, you will need to put that HD back into the chipped Xbox and run the command given in my previous post. That will give you the eeprom to unlock the HD. You could also boot Slayer's and use it to unlock the HD also. (I am pretty sure).

With the old drive unlocked, it may be easier and safer to use Xplorer360 on it in the PC and copy the new C and E drives to it. That would get all the softmod files on it without messing with the F and G drives. The new Xbox would need to be soft modded with .67 option to see the F and G drives though. That is why most people use Krazie's Ndure, it will cover all the bases.

You would then need to use the new Xbox Xboxhdm disk to lock the HD to the new Xbox.

If you aren't using Krazie's to softmod the new Xbox, you should. You could use CASH Ver1.1 or Frosty's Rescue disk to try and back up the eeprom.
