does it have a number in top left corner?
did you delete anything else? did you leave the softmod-saves in the xbox?
-
You havent locked the drive! That's why it works in your chipped box. The HD out of your other box won't work as it's locked to that one (or not locked at all).
-
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
PLEASE
Thank you!!

Look in the "Software" section of xbox-scene. Provided you know your HD password, you should be able to lock the hard drive using linux tools on your computer. There should be tutorials telling you how to do it. I believe the tool to use is called "hdlock.exe"
-
THANK YOU!!!!
Just a couple of more questions, if someone would please answer.
1 ***Would the harddrive not being locked make the xbox not play origional games???***
2 ***I think I know the password but if its wrong is there any hope???***
Thanks again,
Joe

Joe,
In answer to your questions...
1 ***Would the harddrive not being locked make the xbox not play origional games???***
Answer: No, if you installed a different dashboard, you could still run signed code (original games). All the hard drive locking will do is allow you to boot into your original MS dashboard. If you boot into EvoX, Avalauch, UnleashX, etc. you'll still be able to run your original game discs and whatnot.
2 ***I think I know the password but if its wrong is there any hope???***
Answer: Yes, there is still hope. A smart fellow made a tool that brute forces the ATA password stored on the hard drive. There is a pinned tutorial somewhere in the forums on how to do it. If I come across it I will post it in this topic, otherwise, I would suggest you start browsing the xbox-scene.com tutorials. It's on there somewhere. Good luck.

Hi there
i think i did something stupid, i think i deleted my backup file as i get the error 21 message but the system still allows me to play games it just doesn't go to the desktop?? I try and reinstall the splinter cell save files and it goes to a french version of the UMX installer but then says no! Anyhow i can get a new back up or how can fix my dahsboard and try again? thanks!
-
To update, i think i deleted some files when i looked in the save section under unleashx (its in french so harder to navigate!) thats what i think did the HD and error 21?? However i can go through splinter cell and reload linux but get to screen which asks to back up, can explore drive and see that i have eeprom.bin file and txt file which shows HD password so is this any help to maybe reinstallin HD??
Many thanks in advance

just use a bootcd and ftp a new dashboard
-
just checked, ftp wont let me connect to xbox for some reason? is it possible to connect the HD to pc as secondary and extract that way then use cd? Anyone know how or if?? I mean i can get into explorer from going through splinter cell hack but not MS dashboard??
-
you don't need a msdashboard. just ftp in. if you don't know how ftp works go to the n00bie forums. make sure your network settings are correct before burning the disc.
-
Try Switching PASV mod on or off on your FTP client.
-
you could use slayers to restore to absolute stock but you would have to be carefull with it. (never unlock your hd for instance).
then use a decent package instead of that french crap
-
my xbox not chipped so how can i run slayers disc?? sorry im not hot on this side as never had this trouble. It has all come from the french crap program
-
the french crap comes frome france and not from this site. whoever told you to use it is a moron. and first start by being clear in what you can and cannot do. you say you can run games. Can you run burned discs also? can you load your exploited save? If one of the last two questions was yes you should be able to solve everything very easily and you should not need to hotswap. Just learn to use ftp
-
is your xbox connected directly or via a router? can you acces the network settings through that save?
-
does it show an ip adres on that screen?
-
why not?
-
have you tried coldbooting a burned game allready?
-
no burnt games available, but im guessing it will work as the system is showing the backup when i explore the HDD thru UXE screen menu
-
you can explore the hd? why don't copy a dash from the exploited save to your dash location?
-
i can explore as is allowed by unleashx it shows two sides with all the drives and whats inside them, not sure what to move where and if anything is possible to move
i have a copy of ur uxe installer for ntsc which im hoping i can use on a pal machine but need to find slayer, hopefully form a fast server and one that is trustworthy
