I fu-fu-fu-messed up and loaded a corrupt bios on a Spiderchip and left the hard drive unlocked...now I cannot boot to anywhere without the FRAG flashing red and green and the error 05. I do not have the "key" and am running out of options (the USB spider programmer is a heaping mound of cowflop)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

hi,
Since you have a modchip it really doesnt matter if the hdd it locked or not.
You just need to reflash your spiderchip with a good bios (probably the EXVO M8 bios) and then it will boot the AUTO INSTALLER DELUXE just fine and let you reinstall everythign and lock your hdd.
Just get your spiderchip reflashed and you should be fine.
When I boot with modchip ON the system will boot twice and shut down, then flash red and green with a blank screen. When I boot with the modchip OFF, I get the xbox splash screens and then to an error 05...it will not even try to recognize any disk I put in it either way (ON or OFF), so I purchased a USB programmer...that didn't work, either as it will not detect the modchip...that's about all my pooch screwin'
Thinking about trying to connect the hdd to my pc and running some of these Applications like fatxplorer to attempt to retrieve the key to lock the hard drive or to try to lock it some other way....I'm tired of throwing money at it.
Any suggestions?

Yup, I'd definately try fatXplorer or something similar. you NEED that key at this point! once yiou get it, you could in theory get xboxhdm (with eeprom loaded) and run lockhd -a, i think the command is. check some of the tuts. I'm sure it's around =]
Good luck

fatxplorer just locks up and crashes when I try using it with my winxp box...I'm going nuckin futz...the spiderchip mod was a piece of crap, the usb programmer was an even worse piece of crap...now can't get any of the moffle floppin cork soakin programs to work on the hdd....
I don't have anything running dos to try the other programs...like the hddlock.exe and such....is it worth finding one? can I restart to dos mode on a win98 machine to run them? or do I need a full copy of DOS 6.22 or something??

Optionally, you could to this:
1) Start>Run type in "cmd" (no quotes) (just bring up your command prompt)
2) drag the file to the command prompt and hit enter.

I just get the error "ntvdm.exe has generated errors" and it closes out when I try running it that way
Question, though...if I take this hard drive to someone that has a modded xbox...would that guy be able to lock my hard drive for me to stick back in my xbox?

What does that mean, exactly? Like he would need the key that should be on the hard drive....or the modchip that I had in there?
What I'm thinking is that there's only two ways of getting past this...three if I count trashing it and starting over....but to 1) put in a new modchip like an Xecutor and just not care if I ever lock the hard drive again....or 2) somehow get the hdd key off this hard drive and lock it in someone else's modded box...am I on the right track here?[b]
