Error 21 has to do with the ms dash missing files. So either your back-up is missing files or you have corrupted files, because a clean install of the ms dash should fix error 21.

The disc i used has a clean version of an older dash that i used to fix an error 21 a couple years ago. It may be scratched, and messed up though.

I'll build one with a newer clean dash to try, before i call it quits. Just let me run this by you to see if i got it right.

I run the ndure installer and replace the c folder with the c folder from the stock dash, delete everything in the e folder other than the empty udata and tdata folders, then make my linux iso. Hotswap into the drive and rebuild the drive from scratch with option 1.

Is that right, or am i missing something along the way? It's been so long that i'm just not sure.

The dash i have to try out is the ms-c from an aid disc.

You can use the hot swap method here: http://www.xbox-hq.com/html/xbox-tutorials-161.html and i think it has an option to unlock and lock the hdd with a key code.

Thanks. That's one way I tried, but no luck. Still error 21 with either hdd. Was up till 5am workimg on it, not getting anywhere.

I remember when i had the error 21 before, replacing the stock dash was all it needed, but it's just not working now no matter what i do. I must have went through about 10 cd's so far with different dash versions, ect...

I'm starting to run low. Low on cd's, low on time, low on patience.lol

What program are you using to burn the Linux ISO?

I'm using nero. The disc burn fine, xboxhdm boots, and everything works. It all ends fine, but just doesn't work when the hdd is back in the xbox. Confused

I've tried with a clean c and e from a 4920 dash, and also a clean 5960 dash, along with trying to just redo the softmod, and replacing the c with the ndure c folder. Nothing works.

I don't want to, but i may have to end up selling it broken/as-is on fleabay, and use the money to buy another dde xbox from there. That will be a last resort, but i'm just about there.

Well, i'm throwing in the towel. Rebuilding the hdd isn't working. I tried a entire backup from a working hdd, minus the eeprom and hdd password, which i kept original, but it still ends up the same.

2 different hdd's, 3 ide cables, 2 dvd drives, and 2 yellow cables. No matter what i do it can't get past the error 21. Crying or Very sad


Is there any hope for chipping it, or does it sound like it's just a lost cause?

You might need to get a new hdd or a mod chip to get it running again.

Sorry to hear about your troubles bro. Sad If you do have to get another xbox I would suggest looking in your local pawnshops before giving any money to the money grubbing corporate losers that is gamestop. Sorry just hate the place! Evil or Very Mad Also check on ebay you can get some super sweet deals if you are patient. You might even find a already modded box! Wink If all else fails I can sell you one of mine. I have several that work just fine if you keep a disc in them. Otherwise the drive door won't open and to date I have not found a fix that will work on them. Sad And yes I have tried everything and every idea never works. Confused But like I said they work fine and run perfect if you don't mind keep a disc in them. Or you could always put the drive that is in the messing up xbox in one of mine. Anyhow if you are interested let me know. My ebay feedback is 100% and I sell under the ebay name rebelcharm2002 of course! Very Happy

I have a 20gb hdd not being used. How do i set it up for use in the xbox? I've only upgraded 1 hdd and that was when the xbox was working with the softmod already. Figure i have nothing to lose, so i may as well try it.

rebelcharm I never give any of my money to gamestop. I always buy from ebay. Usaully pick up an xbox for $20 or so shipped. Just look for the ones that work, but give dirty disc errors. I'll keep you in mind if i decide to buy another.

I've officially given up on this xbox. I've come to the conclusion that when the psu died, it took a part of the mb with it. If i ever ger around to it, it'll be put back together and sold as non-working on fleabay to fund the purchase of another.

I'm gonna do some reading now to figure out how to use the 80gb hdd that was in the old xbox in the new one. I have the eeprom saved and have the hdd key/password, but xboxhdm won't recognize it.

Since i have now lost all my games and emulators from the drive, and will have to ftp them all over again, i'm not in a big hurry. Rolling Eyes

rebel, you have pm
