Hopefully someone can help me solve this problem.

Currently I have:
1 v1.6 xbox mfg date is 2004-09-16
1 v1.3 xbox modded with the xecuter 2.2pro


I have successfully modded a v1.4 with the UDE softmod, so i know what im doing somewhat.

After I used UDE (I know i shouldve used UXE) with the v1.6 and i booted it up, it loaded the M$ flubber intro screen and then went to a black screen with a scrambled color bar across the screen.

i then panicked of course and tried to reformat the drive with xboxhdm, when i realized that i forgot to backup the EEPROM, C and E, i knew i was screwed.

I booted up again and now im getting an Error #16

SO then i tried formatting it back to its factory settings with the Slayer's 2.6 installer that has the 5960 dashboard that i need for the 1.6.

Of course, the hard drive was locked, so i couldnt do anything.

I have heard that when you boot up the xbox the hdd is unlocked for like 1 or 2 seconds before it realizes that it has the bad kernal and then locks it. but everytime that i try that with the xboxhdm hot swap, it can never read that there is a hard drive connected to it.

Since i dont have a backup of C, E or the EEPROM...

I copied the C and E files from the slayers disc over to my PC and burnt them onto CD. So my theory is that though files should work if they can turn a non-retail hard drive back to its factory settings.

If someone can explain how i can get xboxhdm to recognize my locked hard drive and i can use the C and E backups to fix that, it would be great help.


I have done TONS of reading and researching, im coming up to my last straws.


Anyone has any other suggestions?
