    If it won't boot games, then I hope you have a copy of your eeprom bin file to use with xboxhdm_1.9!

    But..do you have your xbox drive intact?
    Read and learn..the xboxhd maker is NOT for softmodding, it's for restoring the box to factory. Why not just go here and learn something about what you are doing before you make a total mess of everything. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/357863

    The pc drives..just reinstall whatever operating system you had before.

    It will if the dash files are compatable with your bios. You will still need the eeprom data from your xbox to lock the drive. The eeprom reader is the only way to get that. You can't take the drive out of your friends box unless it is chipped, because if you unlock it to read it with a pc you will have 2 bricked xboxes instead of one.
    Read the tut and then fire away with any questions.
    I can tell you where to get dash files and utilities.. PM me if you need directions to them.
