Dash is booting after hdd is locked so I assume that C partition if fine but what can be error then?

So what is it that isn't working. If the dash is booting then your disk has locked OK. You should have used NDURE 3.1, but you can upgrade it quite easily.

Or are you saying that it is booting the MS Dash, but isn't modded? If that is the case then read the link in my signature - "Softmod With eeprom".

I suspect you are right, and the hard drive is broken.

Try unlocking it, then using Windows to format it, and run checkdisk. If it all works, then try the method in my signature "Build a new softmod disk with eeprom". It uses the same xboxhdm, you just choose slightly different options.

If formatting it in Windows doesn't work then you know that the hard drive is broken.

Hi,
I didn't manage to do something. Can you explain me step by step how to rebuild and reformat hdd? I have eeprom.bin but I dont have any backup from C and E partition. If it is easier iI have spare HDD from 60GB and I can make XBOX hdd from it.
I try to find somewhere C and E backup from other console but search fail. Can I use others C and E backup? Console is never modded. eeprom.bin has been read from chip with programmer.

Again me smile.gif I manage to install original C partition on new hdd with eeprom file. But I have troubles with Ndure. After install script and returning back xbxo start and after microsoft logo picture missing and yellow ring start. I connect xbox over component HD AV cable. I try with oly kernel selected and with all option but every time, after start screen picutre missing after Microsfot logo. If I only rebuild partition and recreate C partition everything work fine but console is not softmodded smile.gif Eeprom says that this is NTSC console. Can this be problem? Ndure works like charm and no error at all but problems start after reboot smile.gif

Is this the original disk, or a new disk?

If the LED is yellow then the Xbox is modded. Connect the Xbox via a composite cable first, just to make sure it works.

If that doesn't work, follow the instructions in my signature - "Build a new softmod disk with eeprom".

Hello,
I finally got composite cable for Xbox. Softmod working, games are working. I use Unleash X dash.
My last question is next. Is there anz waz to make this dash permanent? My xbox is banned so I dont need original dash. When I press button to open traz after game is in he return me to green M$ dash an I need to power off and power on to get Unleash X.
