Don´t know about how u got banned, u had ur cable ethernet plugged in to ur xbox? if yes, that´s why I guess.

About the HDD yes, certainly need to get a new one with the new eeprom (Marriage Theory).

Possibly if you went on live with a different game region than normal then M$ may ban you. At present there's no evidence either way for this.

shady, you probabally got banned some other way honestly, don't know how tho.

Honestly your best bet would be to get a new HD.

You can't change the HD Serial. It's embedded in the HD's firmware. The HD Key is part of an EEPROM and is used in conjunction with the HD Serial to create the HD Lock/Unlock password.

when I put in the stock hard drive I get an error code 6 when the mod chip is on and off, and it doesn't boot to Slayer's Auto Installer with the mod chip on.

Config Magic Saved the day, and saved a back-up of my old eeprom (I'm soo lucky) I was able to get my stock HD working fine. What's the easiest way to keep the stock HD in there and change the eeprom with ConfigMagic w/o evox installed? I want to leave my stock HD untouched so I can't copy over ConfigMagic as apps in evox and run it through there, how can I go about updating a new eeprom?

Can I create a ConfigMagic Iso that will boot? (If I make a cd with ConfigMagic Directory will the default.xbe load at start up?)

SimpleXISO or Qwix will compile an ISO from a given folder on your PC. Remember that you will need to rename the XBE to default.xbe as the kernel will look for this filename only. You could install EvoX with all your applications provided you made a few changes to evox.ini

If burning to a CD, you will probably need to use a rewritable disc as write-once discs don't usually work.

That said, you should be fine having your apps on the HD, provided you leave all M$ files intact. I initially kept my HD totally free of non-M$ files after unbanning myself in November but in mid-December I copied EvoX etc. back to the HD and I'm still unbanned.
