| Well there are so many things wrong here! First off I am making an assumption: You have two boxes, one modded with a chip, the other softmodded (or both could be softmodded, doesn't matter. Box 1 gets error 13, this box has the locked drive. Box 2 is modded and working. You: 1. Took the HD out of box 1. 2. Booted box 2 and started configmagic. 3. Hotswapped. 4. Looked at the key Config magic gave you. 5. Tried to unlock the drive. If this is correct then: At Step 4, Config Magic gave you the password FOR THAT XBOX! The password is unique to the Xbox/HD pair, so the code generated by another xbox WILL NOT unlock a locked drive. Only a code generated with THAT HD and the EEPROM of the xbox it belongs in will give you a proper code. Step 5 was a real bad choice, though this shouldn't cause any problems, I wouldn't suggest throwing random codes at the drive! Here are my suggestions: 1. Throw away the code you have, it's useless! 2. If you backed up the eeprom/bin you should be able to use liveinfo to get the drive code. If you didn't your only choice is to hotswap! If you have to hotswap: 1. Boot your pc up to the point that the BIOS says it's detecting the drives and hit the pause button. 2. Boot the xbox, when the little white MS appears under the X, the drive is unlocked, so swap the cable. 3. Hit the space bar on your PC. Try different timings of the above until the drive is unlocked, you can usually tell by the size reported by the BIOS, if it is not right, the drive is still locked. Once the drive is unlocked, repair whatever the damage is, restore your backup (You did make one right?), or whatever. Morden. |
