That means the HDD was still locked, just hold off till Im done uploading the video then we'll replace that corrupted drive with a modded one. Part 1 is about 5 minutes from being uploaded. Unless having the MSdash is a big deal in which case keep trying to hotswap tp replace the drive. If you cant get it to work with an error 12 you can try plugging the DVD drive back in and the second you get the flubber screen hotswap

Ok heres the video
Part 1
Part 2
Be sure to watch the entire thing before trying. Just make a copy of your XBOXHDM folder and delete the contents of the C folder and use it for your XBOXHDM for the mod. This mod uses NKPatcher 6.7 and Unleashx dashboard. Its not quite as new as SID but Ive never been succesfull making a SID XBOXHDM installer. Thats more for guys on the level of DJB or User1.

its a great tut only he has to hotswap (no eeprom) and you may as well mod it while youre in there (he doesnt have the games to do an exploit) so it doesnt realy apply here

i cant unlcok my 80 gb one? do i need to get a new one?
i didnt manage to get the thing to the oreginal M$ dash yet so I cant do the things you showed in the NO:1 video since the HDD is locked, If i format the HDD in my PC, will I be able to get rid of the lock?
thank you for investing time in creating those video's

The hotswap is your only option because of the messed dash/c drive and lack of an EEPROM.bin. You wont be able to just format because its locked. If you try youll get a message along the lines of Windows cannot access that drive.
Hotswapping is a bitch thats why I only recomend it as a last resort. In the video it took me 3 tries with the error 12 to get it unlocked and swapped

yeah it will work, like I said its just a pig, the hardest of all softmod methods simply due to the hotswap portion the rest of its a joke. When I first started out I actualy threw HDDs into the wall I got so frustrated But in the old days the hotswap was the only method available

I tryed like 10 times and everytime I get the massege that my HDD is locked....
I am so frustrated, tommorow I go to a vacation and I will be back in like 4 days, I will try some more when I get back..
just to clarify my thoughts here, I unziped the download of the hxboxhdm, I pressed the make-iso-win.bat file and let it run (no eeprom in the folder since I dont have it) and then just burn the linux file created using a image burn to a disk(DVD-R) and do all the process you told me (on that disk if I didnt use endure I should have the virgen 5960 original M$ dash as default?).
another thing I dont get is how this hotswap thing works and how can I insure that I cought the HDD unlocked, if I manage to do the xbox boot process to the the error 12 quiker, I mean unplug the HDD faster from the xbox when i get the "12" error and plug it to my pc IDE, will it help me to get pass the HDD lockdown?
man I really really apreciet the time and willnes of you to help me and I hope I will pass threw it aventually.

The XBOX unlocks the drive at certain times, like during an error 12 or the flubber screen. Thats why the hotswap works. You have about a 5 minute window during the error 12 to swap the drive, you should actually hear a tiny click come from the drive when it unlocks. You can also try leaving the power plugged in but unplug the IDE from the DVD and this will force an error 11 and also unlocks the drive just like a 12 supposedly personaly Ive never tried it

Hey man I got some good new's, I just managed to hotswap well and get the HDD formated and back to the original M$ Dash!
THANK YOU!!!!! you saved me!
next step will be to burn the disk with endure on it and get the xbox to run the unleashX dash (and hopefully finally rerive the original eeprom and save it!!)
just please tell me if I need to go threw the hotswap process again in order to get the xboxhd software to install the ndure thing like I just did to get the M$ dash.
man, I dont know how to thank you, you helped me from getting a broken xbox to a working one!!!
more to do...
waiting for instructions from you. (I will be away for the next 4 days,vacation, when I get back I will start working on getting it done)
thanks

Well I got more good news for ya. Ive finaly gotten a SID5 XBOXHDM installer made, working and tested. Ive got the video for it uploading now, its a cake walk. Im sorry to say however since you have no exploitable games you will need to hotswap to install it. But it only takes 8 minutes to install and when its done youll have SID5, XBMC, DVD2XBOX, DVDx, Enigmah, around 75 skins and FCEUltra, Mednafenx PCE, PCSXBOX, NeoGenesis, Surreal64, XBOYAdvance and ZSNEXBOX installed.

what I want my xbox to do is to have the abilety to play games from the HDD( games I got there using FTP), play games from cd(games I bought) and run DVD movies/play music.
if this SID 5 solves it then I am a happy man.
thanks

No point, youll just be adding an extra step to the process, if you want SID5 then just use my new installer disc, otherwise once you have Ndure installed I reccomend leaving it. Once you have the eeprom hotswap is a thing of the past, and you can get it from doing this install as well.
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
This will do everything play burned games, games off the HDD, emulators, apps XBMC, FTP, pretty much everything short of doing your laundry
Just download the torrent file (I had to zip it so I could upload it here) unzip and double click on the torrent file. If you have a torrent program like Utorrent/Bittorrent or Azureus installed it will start downloading it[/youtube]
