Title: Hd Swap Problems. Help Please!
Post by: cjnic on January 12, 2006, 05:37:00 AM
Bought a brand new Xbox just before Christmas. Soft-modded using the Splinter Cell save exploit and everything has been working fine (amazed and really pleased with XBMC).

Tried to swap the HD with a spare Western Digital 80gb hard drive (WD800 I believe, checked for compatibility) using this tutorial and every step went like clockwork including the drive lock.
When I switch on the Xbox I get a service error "6" which I believe means the Xbox cannot unlock the HD, if I unlock the HD with xboxhdm 1.9 I get a service error "5" which I believe means the Xbox cannot lock the HD.

Tried the above three times from scratch last night with no joy.
Very new to this so any & all help to make this work appreciated.

Cheers,

Chris
