Is your hard drive set as a slave?

If not it should be.

I'm not a complete newb either hehehe...but

It was never changed from factory settings. Worked fine before chip install, now it is unlocked. I know that it is unlocked but the xenium won't let me lock it from the disk tools.

As far as the cables being tight: I successfully backed up the eeprom and the toggle to "lock the xbox HDD" in the disk tools wouldn't be visible unless it saw an unlocked drive connected.

It is as if there is a big ass bug in 2.00-2.01 because on their official site there are dozens of this same report daily and the admins are giving generic answers that do not fix anything.

Seriously stick a jumper on it an set it to slave, your problem sounds alot like the one I had, it was solved when i switched it to slave from the default of cable select

have you also tried formatting it?

You might wanna stick it in your pc and use some fatx drivers to get the stuff of it

The easiest way to lock your hard disk is either using EvoX dashboard or using Slayers auto install disk.  Both of these have options within the settings menu to lock and unlock a hard disk.  Often you'll find you need to edit evox.ini in order to enable those commands in the menu by just removing the # characters at the beginning of each respective line.  These lines should be easily found by looking for the words Lock and Unlock within the INI file.

I'm getting the exact same error message and my modded xbox worked fine for a few months beforehand. It's either a 1.0 or 1.1. I'm using evox.

I got the error message thursday night and I had been using the xbox that morning. There were no bumps or anything like that to the xbox in between my last play and the time of the error.

If anyone can help, that'd be awesome.
Thanks

I used the same chip and this might sound stupid but is it the same hard drive that the motherboard came with?  I had a similar problem and that was the problem.  I got that fixed and now I cant get live games to load!  and I havent found the way to fix that problem.  the only real reason you need to get to the ms dash that way is to play live games.  you can just load the origional dash off of the evox dash to set the clock.
