So i was backing up one of my games and as soon as i restarted my xbox i heard my HD click than i get an error code 7. i read up and they said to make sure my ide connections are fine and they all are. i have a samsung 400g hd hardmodded with smartxx v3.

Do you have any bare wires near the hdd that may have tuched it and burnt it out?
If it went up that fast it must be something big that went wrong.

I just dont get how you got an error code 7 on a chiped box unless the hdd is truely dead.
That sucks so bad.
Let me guess you had it to long to return it right?

Like i said before, i do have the warrenty on it. do you think the warrenty department can fix it rather than just replace it?
