yeah option A is probably the best and only way to get your xbox working again.

i think you need to combine A and B because even a modchip won't be able to help if you made a mistake locking the HDD with a wrong password...

yead thought a and b would be a combo cuz it only displays a smily. Anyway only a chip wouldn't solve it.

if your eeprom is in your harddrive image, you can get it with FAT-X-Plorer. Just click on read image and select the bin file of your harddrive.

If, like practically all good tutorials tell you, when you first modded your box you hit "Backup" in evox, then transferred files to your computer, chances are there is a c:\Backup folder with your eeprom in it.

If not, options a + b (or d )

I suggest follow the XboxHDM tutorials and unlock ur box with your xbox then keep the power on the drive but hotswap the IDE cable to ur PC and run XBOXHDM by Famous and talented programmer Ldots    and follow the instructions he provided with the app. You can save ur eeprom to a floppy or boot disc of the XboxHDM and it will unlock the drive. If unlocking doesn't work and you used Configmagic to lock your hdd then maybe u shoulduse ATAPWD "FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO A 'T'!" and recover the hdd with a master password "TEAMASSEMBLY" w/o the quotes, make sure you you disable the hdd or it will lock once power is taken off the hdd.

fatbastard911 i don't think he can hotswap because he gets a locking error (6 probably)

it can't be locked with the correct key from the EEPROM or your xbox would work.. don't worry about getting that bin file, you won't need to lock the hdd once you get a chip anyway

well....i have a backup....but the prob is........i cnat open it... i tried fat-x-explorer....but it kept crashing on me.... im going to ttry to clear some ram... got ne other progs that can read the .BIN image made by hdd_driver? --Yu

Hmm... I've read multiple .bin images created with HD Driver with fat-x-plorer never had it crash, i just tried loading up an eeprom.bin just to see if that would crash it, and it didn't...

There's also hd fatxbox explorer but it's all in french... i think the readme has the translations. I think this is the same prog as fat-x-plorer though only in french and a slightly different gui, but give it a shot
