That would depend entirely on the error. If you have no code, and no idea what is wrong, then it might, or nght not work...

Hi,

with a modchip and the correct bios, you should be able to boot the xbox from a dvd or cdrw, even with a blank harddisk connected to the xbox. You can use something like the Slayers rescue disk to partition and format the new disk.

regards.

Thanks for the reply.  Last question is: Do you recommend a particular chip for such a swap?  I have read on some tutorials that  in order for the mod to work, you must start with a working xbox.  Most of the online stores have sold-out of certain models.  Thanks.
