All you need to do is lock the hard drive. Error 5 is HD not locked.

With the right eeprom.bin and xboxhdm. You can cross-check the serial no embedded in the eeprom file against the serial no on the xbox back sticker with LiveInfo beta 3.

ook I'm a little dumb for not realizing I need to lock the drive separately but I have a less stupid problem now.

If would seen my monitor dose not display in the screen resalution option 3 displays in and if I try typin lockhd -a blind it dose not seem to work

editI guess I gatt type yes thanks Darion3169

[TheRealPeppers]

yeah I'm unable to do it blind

[Darion3169]

can you adjust you monitor to be able to see the screen better? odd that you cant see it, its on the first menu that pops up.  Option #3 boot linux with locking/unlocking utilities. to get to it blind just type 3 and press enter
But incase i misunderstood what you were meaning, and that you are able to pick option #3 but cant see the screen from there just move on to the next step. (Then when its loaded up to the menu again just press enter. pick option #6 generate hd key then write down the key and password, press enter to continue then 8 to quit, type reboot again. once rebooted to main option screen again pick option #3 again and type lockhd -a it will ask if you want to attempt to lock it tell it yes and press enter. When done quit the program and hook the hard drive back up to your xbox should be good to go.)  But the problem is you need to get into option #3 to lock it.Also make sure the hard drive your using is lockable in the first place, http://xboxdrives.x-pec.com/?p=list

You don't need to pick option 6 and write down the key and password, because it achieves nothing that will fix this problem, and it certainly doesn't make the screen magically display the correct resolution when you select option 3. Borrow a different monitor, then pick option 3, then type lockhd -a

In the \linux\isolinux folder of xboxhdm, edit option 3 of isolinux.cfg with an editor like notepad and remove vga=0x317 and save the file. Run make-iso-win.bat again to recreate the iso and burn it.

CODE

label 3
 kernel /isolinux/lockImage
 append initrd=initrd.gz load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 ramdisk_size=24000 rw root=/dev/ram pci=biosirq

See if that helps with the display.

Zeroize the hdd key on both the chipped xbox and softmod xbox and make backups of eeproms to PC before you actually proceed. Lock the hdd on the chipped xbox and use it on the softmod console.

altamitly I got an old monitor to use the my troubles did not end there, for whatever reason the files copyed from the orginal hdd would not work so I took the backup the the C drive from E:\backup and made a non soft-modded hdd and then ran ndure to softmod it and then I locked the drive. that worked although this was a pain in the ass.
