My xbox works fine with the retail HDD in (Xecuter 2.6lite and Slayers with Bios 4983) but when I connect my new Maxtor 160Gb It wont boot the slayers disk and is giving Error 9. Ive tried flashing the bios to M8 but its the same.
Jumpers on the HDD are set to CS (ive tried all settings).
Any suggestions?

here's my problem...i don't know where else to go with this

i had to get another xbox and i bought a new chip and i want to take the hdd (120 gb seagate drive) and move it over to the new one...but what happened was weird

when i put the drive in and boot normal i get error 21...i', sure theres something i have to do but i tried it anyway

now when i booted slayers exov bootdisk and apparently the xbox doesn't recognize the HDD...doesn't even show a HDD connected...i then put the old one back in and it read the drive no problem...so i set that up and got a new set of problems

i want to know if there is a way to get the drive from my original modded box to work in the new xbox...is there some way i can make it read the drive?

could this perhaps be a bios issue? (stats on my setup below)

now a second problem is trying to load things in evox on this new xbox...if i try to load XBMC for example it shows the loading screen then goes black and doesn't start...but i can run some games...i can't figure out why the hell it does the black screen...it does this for some backups and so far all original games and dvds...

i'm trying to elaborate as much as possible


here's the setup

XBOX 1.0
SpiderGX with evox M8 bios
samsung dvd drive (works perfect)
retail xbox drive that i don't want

the desired setup would be with the 120 gb drive hopefully not needing to be formatted...as i have tons of stuff on it that i don't have backed up

i hope someone gets back to me on this...

hmm i'm seeing a lot of problems here and not too many replies to fix them, but i'll try too. i followed this tut- http://www.xbox-scen...dd-install2.php to put a maxtor 120GB HD in, i get the full screen with error 13. don't know what that means, but here's what i'm wondering about- when i got to backing up my original hd in evox, i did it. the tut said it would make a /backup/ directory in the C drive with 5 files, and it didn't. i did it again, and the backup folder still didn't show on flashfxp. so i disconnected, rebooted xbox, and everything and nothing changed. so i tried just adding the backup folder manually on flashfxp. when i did, the 5 files were automatically in there. so does that have anything to do with why my new hd won't boot up the install disc? anyway here's my setup-

V1.6 box, Xecuter 2.6CE, Evox M8 Bios, Evox 3935 Dash

Sorry, but stickies usually require good grammar and spelling. And TR4G-, no one cares if youre mad or not, or how much you spent on your big hard drive. Maybe you should head on over to the tutorials and read how to create disc for an Xbox.

yeah, i was thinking about that. But you know, everyone has their bad days, sorry bout that.

But i have read the tuts, and i did make a disk  but my xbox for some reason wont read the disks i create [ive tried on multiple platform disks]. But i think ill eventually get this down.

Ok i know some people are having trouble getting their new hard drive to work and it really sucks. I had this same problem.  Evrytime I would try to boot up to a evox cdrw i made for formatting drives i would always get an error or a or the screen half cut with the error in the corner. Here are some of the steps I took 2 get my hdd 2 work.

1. If u cant get ur hdd 2 work and have an xecuter 4977 bios maybe thats ur problem. After I changed to the evox d6 bios evrything worked out perfectly. Read this guide on how to reflash ur chip: http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?act...ST&f=38&t=60720

2. After ur done flashing ur chip to the d6 bios then go into ur evox menu and click on the thing that says system utils. Click on backup and this will make a backup of important stuff about ur xbox and will be located in a folder called backup in the C directory.

3. follow this guide on how to make an evox disc for formatting drives and other stuff: http://xbox-scene.com/articles/hdd-install2.php
you can skip step number 2 if u want since we already did that.

This is exactly what I did and it worked for me. The xecuter 4977 bios was what was causing the prob for me.

Oh yeah if u want after u have the drive installed and evox on the hdd u can reflash ur chip back to the 4977.

good luck

p.s. i have a western digital 120 g. got it for 60bucks brand new at circuit city. they had two 30 dollar rebates  :D

**WITH THE NEWER BIOS U PROBABLY WONT NEED TO REFLASH YOUR CHIP THIS IS FOR PEOPLE STILL USING THE OLD BIOS**

Another option is leave your original HDD in and power with your boot disk. Unplug your old HDD and plug in your new one then proceed with formatting it and installing what ever you want on it.

I had to do this today.

Only difference between the x2-4977 and the D6 bios is the fact the D6 ignores the clock.

Sounds to me like what you actually had was clock issues, rather than issues with the x2_4977 bios itself, boot up the Xbox with new HDD in but Xbox has been unpowered long enough to reset the clock, so it ignores the DVD check and tries to load the dash straight away to set the clock (which of course, the dash isnt there, hence the error)

Best thing to do (provided you still have a working origional drive) is boot the Xbox from the origional drive first, make sure the clock is set (even set it again if you have to) then power down the Xbox and swap the drives over.

That should then allow the 4977 Bios to boot from the DVD drive and install the new HDD.

Of course, that will only work if you have a working origional HDD, if you dont, then what you say is fine.

not exactly true with D6 you have to manually patch some games that you dont with 4977

Yah that is true. I worded it badly.

what I should have said was...

The only difference between the D6 and the X2_4977 regarding boot from DVD to install evox etc... is that D6 bypasses the clock.

Obviously the 2 bios's have differences, but with regards to using them to install a new HDD, the only difference that matters is that D6 bypasses the clock and X2_4977 doesnt.

For sure, I only use X2_4977 for the day to day "running" of the Xbox.

thanks!

Damn, this play just keeps paying for itself..  er, wait - it's free, nevermind.  biggrin.gif  I just installed me first HDD and this post solved the one problem.  I didn't have the clock set and was getting the 1/2 screen w/ error code.  Dropped the original HDD back in, set the clock, swapped to the new HDD (while off, I don't like hot-swapping anything not expressly designed for it) and away she went.  

Time to figgure out all the stuff I can do now.  biggrin.gif  beerchug.gif

BUMP! I had this problem, fixed it just this evening by reflashing to Evox d6 with a db25 cable, as I have an X2 PRO.

Usually about 4 - 5 hours unplugged and the clock resets.

That depends, if your friends xbox is modded so it will boot with an unlocked HDD, the best option is to connect your new HDD to your friends Xbox, use Slayers auto-installer to rebuild the drive, then put the drive back in your xbox.

as long as you dont lock the drive on his system you should be fine (asuming your xbox is also chipped, so it will boot with an unlocked HDD)

yes, both boxes have been chipped, my old drive is useless from what i figure anyway, it wont boot, wont even power up.

Can you point me into the right direction for the slayers auto installer?

I made a boot disk using the new hd installer for evox, is this what your talking about?
Title: Read This If Your New Hdd Isnt Working
Post by: [SDK]Devilman on August 30, 2003, 12:47:00 AM
evox new-hdd installer and Slayers auto installer are different.

evox new-hdd installer does just that, formats the drive and installs evox on it.

Slayers not only formats the drive and puts evox on it, but also installs the Live dash and various other usefull apps (HDD loader, config magic and XBMP to name a few)

You can get all the info (including how to get it) from http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?act=ST&f=16&t=47876&hl=slayer

i have another HDD that i want to use. standard 5 gig. i tried booting up with my original HDD and my evox disk with "install new HDD," but it freezes at "formatting c:" the clock's fine. i use some chip that says "xecuter 2" on the boot up screen, but it's not a flashable chip so i don't know what kind of chip it really is. i've had several 120gb HDDs that work, but sometimes they don't and none of these suggestions have worked.
