can you boot from an original disk?

You should be able to boot from 007 / MA and get to the evox dash again, then FTP in and fix the m$ dash.

remove your DVD cable and the error will allow you to unlock the drive

si tu parle francais, débranche la nappe IDE du DVD et le nouveau message d'erreur va débarre le HD apres 30 minutes environ

Hey... I posted a thing telling how I can't get my HDD unlocked....but all this talk about this pulling the dvd IDE cable sounds nice... but the problem is that my xbox does the flubber animation then right after that I get Error 21

.. so my question is can I pull out the dvd IDE cable during the flubber animation and still unlock my HDD?

gordita37 · « **Reply #10 on:** September 13, 2003, 06:27:00 PM »

I tried hot-swapping during the Error 21 and nothing.... just to make sure error 21 is there screen that sais your xbox requires service please call xbox customer support.. if that is got anymore idea's?

I already found the solution for this..

Pull the Xbox HDD IDE cable just when the big X Logo and MS letter appears below..
It should be unlocked at that moment!

Good Luck!

i thaught before hot swopping the drive you would have to let it spin down 1st i can only imagine you being very lucky to get hot swop to work without giving the HD a chance to spin down 1st which cant happen as its in a loop but seriously good luck.

I can't unplug the IDE cable during the MS text because the MS text never appears! Right after the flubber animation it shows the big X for about a second then it goes directly into Error 21

ERROR Code 21: This error says that the machine was booted to display a error, basically someone told the machine to reboot (or launch a xbe) with this flag, and the error code just means its been rebooted by the flag

So basically something is wrong with any of the files on the C drive. Best way is to unlock your original hard drive using hdunlock and restore the original contents using hddriver. Hopefully you backed everything up....
