I can CONFIRM that IT is IMPOSSIBLE to re-vriginise drive in any way with slayers!
I Formated /repartitioned/re-wrote config sector, had nothing but retail files on hdd.
flashed new eeprom
xbox worked for 24 hours ish
NOW BANNED!
I DEFINETLY did connect to live with mod chip ON! cablw was physically disconnected!
One thing though, after flashing the eeprom i changed to region to region 2, it started out as region one. Could this have been the cause?

If that HD was present when your Xbox originally got banned then it's likely you got rebanned when M$ checked the serial number of the HD. Revirginising works with drives which have been on live before but not in an Xbox at banning time. The HD serial does not change when you revirginise.

Unlikely.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
They are not checking what you have in HDD - They check your Serial Number - If you get banned 1 time with this serial number and then they get Serial Number again on Live - they will do the same thing.
It's like Activating 2 softwares with 1 license in 2 different computers over Internet.
