What seems to happen is that whenever I hotswap to the pc, the pc suddenly refuses to recognise the cd drive (which is in the IDE slave position, the Xbox HD is in master). This seems to happen whether it's before I choose to boot off the cd (at which point, it either boots into Windows, or tells me no NTLDR - or whatever - found on the disk), at the Xboxhdm prompt (where hitting 1 just causes the pc to freeze) or once it's booted into Linux (when I try to run xbrowser, it tell me to put in the Linux disc)

Is this a hotswap problem, a problem with my disk, a problem with my pc, or a problem with my Xbox hard drive?

Thanks!

I have the same problem, my computer refuses to run both the HD and the disk at the same time..
Anyone have a answer?

i'm sorry but i'm jus a noob at this.

Here is my current situation/problem:
I attempted to hotswamp(not sure if i did it right or not, I've tried error 11, no dvd ide, gameplay, music, and the 8 sec count).  When I think I did it successfully I would type 1 to enter vga mode and it would give me picture 1. Other times it would read unknown patrition. I'm wondering if the HD is still locked in picure 1.
I bought my xbox the 2nd year it came out and played halo2  on it.

Also if it helps anyone to help me, my computer has 2 SATA HD connceted by I tried eliminating that as a factor for the problem by disconnecting the SATA connection on the mother board. My cd-rom drive is connected by a seperate ribbion than the one that IDE that is being used to connect to the xbox HD.

I think that's all the information I have about my situation, been trying this for a few months(a few days each month). I'm really hoping to softmod my xbox. Thanks in advance, and just thanks for taking to read my problem.

your still locked.

[rebirth]

Thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

So if I'm going to unlock while playing a game, when should I swap it? For say a specific game like Halo 2?

Is it already modded?

[rebirth]

My xbox isn't modded yet but alot of failed attempts at hot-swapping.


Would it be okay if I asked you on Msn?

IIRC, you have to connect the HD and the CD drive on the same ribbon on the Primary IDE slot.  You set the CD drive to master and the hD to slave.

^I'll try that tomorrow when I get back from work.
Thanks in adv.

Adding a gamesave, thru hotswapping
Hope that clears some confusion about that, and if you have something to add, please add it.
Hotswapping a gamesave is only neccessary if you dont have a memory card, but own an exploitable game

 

Omg thank you! I been looking for this and a easy round about way. You are god haha! I put krazies save file in E: part of the folder. Before I did that I was about to keep it as "UDATA" and also made a "TDATA" folder I bet i would of screwed it up if I left it. Gonna give that a go. One question though I never see anyone answer. Do you put and run the exploit first then install the dashboard or first install xboxhdm then run the exploit? I know it sounds silly lol.

yeah the s.xtf is a scrap font, used to cover memory layout issues, it wont hurt anything.
the nk directory prolly contains a default.xbe which is nkpatcher, so everything should be fine.

 

Question out of the three folders from the new fonts what one should I use for bert file? Each folder has like 9 diffrent bert type files.

you''ll get it ..

1) unzip uxe complete v0.21
2) open the uxe complete v0.21 folder
3) open the supportfiles folder
4) run the 2 batch files i mentioned above
5) now get the contents of uxe-c-replace folder onto your xbox c:drive using the same method you used before with hotswap/xbrowser


the xbox c:\ should look something like this when your done

c:\xboxdash.xbe
c:\fonts\dashboard (folder) and its contents
c:\fonts\nk (folder) and its contents
c:\fonts\bert-generic.xtf
c:\fonts\ernie.xtf

 

I ran the ude2-complete-v0.2.2 bat files and poot them where they are supposed to go. The fonts folder did not have a dashboard folder. The only dashboard folder was in "E:/root" .  My xbox just hangs at the xbox logo and does nothing. Even when I put a game in. This is after i followed the tut and everything. Thing is i would try again but i cant get my harddrive to unlock no more no matter how many times i hotswap it! I know I am doing it right because just like 30 mins ago I unlocked it and installed xboxhdm. Can ANYONE please help me? Wake up this thread is like dead for a week now.

I have tried this so much and i think my xbox must hate me.

i connect the drive to my chipped xbox, start the xchanger menu and go in and unlock the hdd, i get the message "hdd is unlocked, press a to reboot" so i pop out the ide cable and my pc is at the menu where i choose 1-4 and pop the pc's ide cable in the hdd and press 2 and enter. typing xbrowser and it says "hdd found, checking for xbox partition" and then i get no partition found, damnit.

What the hell is wrong with my drive?

Yea hi. I am trying to soft mod my xbox but I keep getting this message:

Looking for CD-ROM in /dev/hda
Looking for CD-ROM in /dev/hdb
Looking for CD-ROM in /dev/hdc

No disk drive found on /dev/hda
We will now search /dev/hda  for an xbox partition table
No xbox partition table found on /dev/hda

    I have tried copying a cd track to the hard drive then playing. I have tried the error 12 way. I have also tried inputting a game and trying that way. I have even tried the M$ logo way. But all have failed. I am not sure why my drive is not unlocking.

    I know my IDE cable from my computer is correct because I took it out from my hard drive on my computer. I made sure to check if it was primary and it was. I have my secondary IDE cable going to my two DVD drives the slave on that is the one the cd is in. I have tried this at least 15 times already always getting the same message. I came here wondering if anyone can help me on this. I am just lost because I tried so many times but it is still not working.

Also if anyone needs my computer info I have an emachines T2885.
