morpheous, in the tut you posted, in Step B, it says to make the EEPROM of both xboxes match. Then in Step C it says to put in the new hd into the CHIPBOX and prepare it with a savegame exploit. Shouldn't you install the new hd into the CHIPBOX first, then make the EEPROM's match, then prepare it with a savegame exploit? Or am I missing something here?
I think I get it now. My hd, in the CHIPBOX, is not being affected at all, correct? Just the eeprom on my motherboard is being flashed (to that of VBOX and now they match.) So I take it, on a CHIPBOX, the eeprom and the hd serial number do NOT have to match? Is that correct?
Also, do I have to enter the hd serial number at some point?
Krayzie, it seems u have experience on this and if it's not to much asked, could u give the right steps that needed to be done in configmagic?
So, my xbox with my hd is turned on, conficmagic runs, I go to "on-the-fly-eeprom"
and just fill in the unique hdd key of the virgin xbox, correct? thats all? and just lock it?
Check this post. I asked the exact same thing.

That tutorial is a little out of date, maybe someone should update it.
Krayzie is right, it would be easier to do what he suggested

morpheous, what parts of it are out-of-date? Could you briefly describe what is wrong with that tutorial? Thanks. BTW, is this info correct : "Just the eeprom on my motherboard is being flashed (to that of VBOX and now they match.) So I take it, on a CHIPBOX, the eeprom and the hd serial number do NOT have to match? Is that correct?"
that's what I mean. you can't flash an eeprom from a 1.6 to a 1.0 xbox. You will need to edit just the hdkey.
Noh that's not realy it. The hdkey is located in the eeprom and not in the HD. So you need to get the hdkey form the virgin xbox's eeprom and edit it in the modded xbox's eeprom. Then when you put the new hd in the modded xbox configmagic would calculate a hd password with the eeproms hdkey. When the hd is locked with that pass it will unlock in the virgin xbox also.
krayzie, ok I think I may have it. Are these steps correct then:
1) Get access to virgin xbox and backup eeprom. Get the hdkey from the eeprom of the virgin xbox (how do I do that?)
2) Change the hdkey of the modded xbox's eeprom to the hdkey I got from the virgin xbox using COnfig Magic (this will work even though the modded xbox is a 1.0 and the virgin is a 1.6 or 1.6b?)
3) Put the new 80 gig in the modded xbox and use an Evox boot disc (or something else??) and gain access to it to FTP in. Load Config Magic onto the new hd and lock it using the hdkey I editted in Step 2.
4) Follow this tutorial http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=285877 and install the UXE.
Does that look good or am I missing something?
BTW Krayzie, I appreciate all the help you have been giving.
