So my friend gave me his xbox that he attempted to mod a long time ago but never finished....it seems that its a 1.6 but the problem is that he deleted his hd and attempted to hardmod but looks like he did it wrong....what i want to do is try and bring it to its normal stage and start from the beggining but when i turn it on i get an error 5....basically is there anyway i can reformat the hd to its original state and try to sofmod it.....ps i have a hard mod xbox myself if it works....thanks in advance.

Could try popping the hdd in your PC with explorer 360 and try to pull the eeprom off it.

You can try popping it in your mod xbox and use the AID file explorer to look for the eeprom, let me know how it turns out bro.

Use xboxhdm to rebuild the hard drive bro, we should have a few guides for it in the tuts section.

Hi Justmichael,
The xboxhdm package will let you create a bootable CD that can access and manipulate/rescue, clone and even rebuild working xbox HD's from scratch on your PC.

You can softmod the xbox like any softmod and then make your connection on the mobo, from there use the AID bios flash tool and its tsop option.
link to solder points if you still need one. http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/TSOP_flashing_HOWTO

so i soldered the points on my xbox with the liquid solder and i botted the sid disk and it says my xbox is a version 1.1 but when i was going through the forum to determin the xbox it had everything for a version 1.4...which one should i go with? next question is assuming i am correct and it is a version 1.4 and i soldered the points how do i flash it now i read http://www.xbox-linux.org/wiki/TSOP_flashing_HOWTO but it doesnt specify on where to get the bios or how to go ahead and flash it....it just says to plug the xbox to the computer and type that ip...sorry for my ignorance
