For clarity I was using xboxhdm1.9 above. Found the xboxhdm 2.2 in the forums that offers the ability to use other ide channels than hda so I'm trying that now....
Im guessing its a hd issue (on the 80gig) but it cant hurt to try. Am I correct in assuming that I can take my c&e drives from one of my other sotmodded boxes (using ndts to get the REAL c) and build from scratch using that as I know it works? (again I already have the eeprom from the target xbox from the aborted/failed hotswap softmod)
In other words, since I can lock/unlock the drive using my eeprom.bin and have no interest in the MS dashboard I can just populate the hdm C & E files on the thumbdrive with known working files and rebuild from scratch usinh xboxhdm 2.2?

did you get it to work?
use xboxhdm 1.9 or the latest one. Make sure your IDE cables work correctly, I had problems with mine before, and I put new ones, 80 instead of 40 and its much faster now. and always write your eeprom down and make a floppy back up. if the floppy fails you can use the written one. I had alot of floppys go bad for me. and did you get the eeproms from the drive before you tried to put the files on the Xbox from the other one. and for the hotswap its tricky, I had to do that to a friends xbox and it took me about 30 mins just to get it right, but I also never did a hotswap before. make sure you pause the PC bios.
also try just having the cd drive and the xbox hd plugged in no other devices.
Do Not use slayer on a softmod i don't know if thats still true but i used it once and it destroy all my data.
