Quick recap of what I have going on.
Installed a softmod on the retail drive.
Backed up to my PC and backed up to the e drive.
Installed XBMC on orignal drive - mistake.
Was getting error 16.
Could not find a copy of my eeprom anywhere.
HD was locked so I went to a website online that can unlock it over the net.
XBOX drive now unlocked.
Loaded XBOXHDM and explored directoy on drive. NO EEPROM BACK UP.
C drive was blank.
Rebuilt the C drive using XBOXHDM. Used a friends ISO to do so.
Turn on the xbox eroor 05 which means drive isnt locked.
Online service will give me the password they found in unlocking my drive.
If I get that pass is there some way I could lock the drive and will it work?
In other words, do I NEED the eeprom or can I get the box to work without one if I can lock the drive again?
Is there some type of eeprom editor I can use and modify my friends eeprom file to my HD PASS, serial, etc?
Ive been reading for days. I know some guru here could easily answer these questions.
Thank you in advance.
