Now i would be really happy to know if the alternative d0 is still in the same place! Would you mind trying it out!

Could you also tell me what K: D: you get in system info in the ms dash.. thanks

now i think the key thing to note here is that some people that have tried to mod the v1.2 (including the l33 case) said that they soldered the d0 where the grey blotch is. i think it was just a gross miscalculation

Everyone should remember (earlyer in this topic) that I still have not been able to get the 120 Gig. HDD to work with this moded box yet.
I will be trying to some new ideas this weekend that my son gave me and I will post my findings.
If anybody else has any suggestions please let me know.

Thanks...IBNewBe...

Well, if everything else works, there's no reason why the hard drive shouldn't be replaceable.

I realize you said you had CS selected, but you might want to double-check, as many mfg. charts are pretty retarded (Samsung comes to mind) and can easily be confusing.

Likewise, when you got error #6, did you try booting your Slayer's disc?? If the cable setting was incorrect, it might have interfered with the DVD drive, too, though.

Obviously, the HD won't boot if there's no DVD when it's scratch.

Logically, there can be NO changes in the BIOS with regards to the HD operation, since it booted the original, which requires the password unlock. IF there was any board level changes or BIOS changes, your hacked BIOS would also get the error trying to boot the original drive.

Doh.... actually, wasn't there some bizarre issue with new hard drives and the 4973 BIOS?

I recall others having this difficulty.

Here's the thread over on TX:

Yep! I tryed all the jumper settings just to make sure and I used my Slayer's DVD on another XBox after this one so I know its OK too.
I looked at the thread you suggested and I will be trying that too.

Thanks again...IBNewBe...

do you have a 1.1/1.0 box as well, does the drive work in that. do you have any more drives you can test? its odd that it wont work with a new hdd but works otherwise

very wild guess here - have they changed the PSU so it only has enough power for the origonal HDD (im not clued up on how much power drives use, but im guessing more platters = more power..but i might be wrong..prolly am

)

Well, the PSU is a creative guess, but the bigger hard drives probably consume LESS power, actually (newer designs).

Additionally, if they tried something like that, the system would be tremendously flaky.

Most likely it's the 4973 BIOS HD bug as I mentioned.

OK, I tried another new fresh out of the box 120 Gig. HDD and I used my custom Slayer's DVD and got the error 16 again. I rechecked the original HDD and it booted with my Slayer's and works fine. I still have not made any changes to the original HDD (i'm just plane old checkin I guess)

Any idea's?

Thanks...IBNewBe

Try installing slayers onto harddisk on another xbox then placeing that into your machine maybe M$ have written some code to detect non locked hds on modded xboxes

Just a tought

BenJeremy, Any idea why I was banned from....forums.gotmod.com.
I tried to post my new findings on the new XBox v1.2 (above) and found I was banned. I thought I was providing helpful information.

Well anyway, hope this information I have provided will help others.

Wow... no idea. I'm a bit shocked.

I'll ask about it, though....

I still don't know why forums.gotmod.com banned me from their fourm and really don't care anymore, but I would like for the readers on their fourm who need my info on the new XBox v1.2 mod to be able to see it.

So would you (or anyone else who can) post my findings on their fourm?
I know there was a lot of intrest on this subject.
This is a great fourm here anyway....Thanks Extreme Mods....

Thanks....IBNewBe...

They unbanned you.

It must have been a mistake, near as I can figure.
