Easy.  You remove the drive that's not working.  Then you fit a drive that IS working. The key word here is try another  HDD.  Not the same one.

Yeah but that's providing you saved a copy of the eeprom.

Ehm, no. you just hook up an empty new harddrive and boot up with slayer cd. Point is that you just have to make sure it is not your harddrive that is dead.

Thank you, it did cost me some time to write but if i can make people happy.
I'll have a go on it :-)

I wrote it because i hate to answer the same question (error code X!?) over and over again and it has to stop!

so what would you make of an error 9 on a known good drive?  (put the drive in another box and it boots fine).  Just curious 'cause you don't say much about it.
I've got a box that with the OEM drive gives an error 7 (drive dead?) but when swapped with a 60 gig maxtor (which runs fine in any other box I have) it gives an error 9.

Any thoughts (beyond try another drive)?

Error 21

XBMediaplayer started  giving me "Error Code 21" every time I played Audio CD og DVD. Uppgraded to XBMplayer 2.4, still same problem. Uppgraded with Slayers EvoX 2.5 and still have the same problem. (MS Dashboard also bootes to Error 21).

Anny good ideas???

[bleugh]

if ms dashboard is giving error 21, thats a problem with the dashboard itself more than likley!

what mod chip do you have?

how is evox installed (if at all?)

could be that your xboxdash is renamed to something else,

you need to have a bios that boots a different name other than msxboxdash first and leave the stock dash well alone!

I am getting "Your Xbox Requires Service" when booting in retail mode.

However, no error codes are displayed.

Any advice?  I don't think it's error 16 because i can still boot to evox with the chip on and it gives me a clock readout.

Is it possible that the M$ dash should be named xboxdash.xbe rather than msxboxdash.xbe and the evox dash should be evoxdash.xbe in lieu of xboxdash.xbe.

Is this a function of the latest version of evox and it's possible that I used an old tutorial which indicated changing the the file names?

If I do need to change the file names as shown above, can it be done directly in FlashFXP?  That would be a great easy fix.

Thanks all for the great posts.

Yes, you can rename the files in FlashFXP. You should take a look at your BIOS with a tool like XBTool to see what its boot file names are. Otherwise, once you rename the MS dash xboxdash.xbe, that's what it will load first. In XBtool there are four places for the "order" of dashboard filenames. xboxdash.xbe is usually first, so if found, it will be loaded first. You would want to edit that to evoxdash.xbe to be first and xboxdash to be 2nd. Don't worry, cause the original BIOS only looks for xboxdash.xbe, so this will have no affect on booting the original BIOS.

Thanks for the info Cap!

I'll give it a look.

Not very common... And now I'm the one with the error  
I can only boot from retail bios and can't open the drive...
I'll check the cables or swap the drive when I'm back from school. Hope I can get it fixed.
