Well i got a free xbox from my cousin and i thought hey why not softmod it.
i seam to always mess up any mod I do even if i folow everything to the tee.

I read read and read on how to softmod and founf the xboxhdm and nudure seamed the more logical way to go.

so i downloaded them both and selected the correct check mark that fit my xbox and created th boot disc.

i then hotswapped my xbox got it on the first try and typed xbrowser selected the ndure file backed up my hdd while it was backing it up it then froze and said canot complete the process. then i exited back to the main xbrower to discover all the files in C and E were all like "10dfs0df34j34kjjw3e2"

so then i read read and read and found out get the original dash board then put it on the C file in the xboxhdm then burn a disk now the hdd in not recognised at all it is unlock but it says not xbox partion what do i do i have tried all the windows programs and live cds

Sorry for the double posting and repost but it would not let me edit it.

so then i read read and read and found out to get the original dash board then put a C file with the dash files in there on the xboxhdm then burnt a disk

I did the hotswap again and typed xboxhd selected 2 but i got an error canot find the directory i then figure let me try xbrowser it siad could not find directory.

i decided to boot the hdd in windows it is recognised in the device browser and i used LiveInfo.exe and it recognies the HDD and says it is not locked and i extracted the eeprom.bin not sure that will do any good since the drive is corupted. then i opened up HD_fatXbox_Explorer_1.4,FATXExplorer,Xplorer360 and not one coud recognise the HDD as a master or slave.

i then started up the xboxhdm in frustration and booted xboxhd then selected 1 and it gave me an error could not find partion then i did it i hit the number 5 dont know why but i did. stupid me.  I still get an error 13.

then downloaded the AIDv4.30 and have tried 10 times to burn it but evertime it will not burn i tried slayer but i canot burn the disc and i tried SIDv5 but i canot burn any of them for some odd reasopn with image burn, power iso, majic iso, ultra iso, active burner. they say they burnt the iso's but then the disc is blank with no files on it and will not boot off them.

What can i do to get it working again.
and softmod it.
i get an error 13 on the xbox.

Do you have the correct eeprom.bin from the xbox?
Can you unlock and relock the harddisk without hotswapping?

Xboxhdm can prepare a harddisk for a xbox from scratch. Some pc biosses have trouble with locked harddisks.

You can extract the original M$dash files from the Slayers rescue iso. I use Qwix to extract xiso's.

I would try to return the disk to a working unmodded state first before I would try to mod it again.

The disks you burned probably aren't empty. Your xbox simply refuses to read them. The xbox dvd drive is very picky about what media it reads.
I don't even understand what you are trying to do with a rescue disk if your xbox isn't modded.
Unmodded xboxes will never read non original disks. (Unless someone finds the private key to sign things properly)

I think i am not sure i used LiveInfo.exe from the install package from the HQ PC Essentials v1.0.exe and it showed my xbox hdd and siad it was unlocked and i hit the save eeprom button but i dont know if it is the right eeprom.

no i have not unlocked or relocked it with out hotswapping.

that is were i got the orinial m$dash from was the slayers iso. i put it in the c and e directory then burnt another xboxhdm disc.

but once i do the hotswaping and load up xboxhdm it give's canot find error when i type either the xbrowser or the xboxhd number 1 or 2

But if i reboot the computer with the HDD in to the win it shows up in device manager and in liveinfo.exe but not in HD_fatXbox_Explorer_1.4, FATXExplorer, or Xplorer360.

now i get error 16 becuase some one disconected the power to the xbox.

I have the impression that your harddisk is not getting unlocked.
All the symptoms you describe point into that direction.
LiveInfo just reads the harddisk parameters. This can also be done on a locked harddisk.

The Eeprom you saved by hitting the button is simply the default one liveinfo shows you.
You can alter it's contents and sav the file again afterwards.

There is no eeprom on the harddisk. The eeprom is a small memory chip in the xbox.
You can backup the contents of that chip in a file on the harddisk. (Once the xbox is modded)

Look for other methods to hotswap your harddisk when your xbox boots into an error 16 screen.
I am sure you are not the first with such a behavour.

Okay i figured out the problem my master IDE conector was broken causing the HDD  to show up weird and not being able to fix it.

so i got the xbrowser and moved the files over my self on the C drive

but the E drive has lots of file that are corrupted and cannot be deleted. how do i wipe and re create an e drive to free up space?

It is all fixed now i just wiped out the HDD and that fixed all the problems and got a new IDE cable.
Thanks for the help i just need to look a littel closer at my cable connection.
