okay i think i relocked it wrong, i tried to unlock the drive but it said the drive wouldnt unlock! (right key and everything) so i think i must have put a digit that was sposed to be another in place of one! anyway to fix this? should i get a modchip so that i can boot without locking

first of all......relax!

ok, calm?

now, take the floppy that had hdunlock on it, stick it in. there will be a new text file on there that was created when you locked the drive. THis will tell you the password you used, compare that to the original one and I think you'll see your problem.

a modchip won't unlock your drive, it will allow your xbox to boot with an unlocked drive.  Your stock drive will still be locked, and will not work with your xbox unless it is locked correctly to your xbox, or unlocked...

What is the error code number in the top of the screen?  You could have a bad dash or an improperly locked drive...

disc was corropted eh? shitty, well tell me you made a xbox backup...and you have your eeprom right? so screw the modchip you don't need it...

just throw your new HD on the pc, use winhex to clone disc, install the exploits(if they weren;t ni the back up, hopefully you made an exploited backup), get lock code from liveinfo using your eeprom,  reboot, lock harddrive (BE CAREFUL THIS TIME) triple check the password!

you should be good to go, i think your other HDD is fucked since you don't know what code you locked it with, how will you ever be able to unlock it?

umm the usual places i think...

it's a program that calculates the password the xbox is gonna use on the hd, using the eeprom, so you can lock it with the right code for your particular box.
