For a week now I have been having troube installing a new HD on my softmodded xbox. Today is the day I fianlly think I can do it but I did the most stupid thing in the world and fear my new HD is a paper weight. I was unlocking the hard drive in ATAPWD and stupidly froze my HD. (there is a + under the F colunm) There is no unfreeze option and I do not have a clue what to do. I have searched all over google for help but found nothing. Please I would really appreciate any helps anyone could give me. Thanks for your time, Dal.
Okay I fixed it on the same day. One thing not to do when you muck up is panic. This is how I fixed it. The HD being read as frozen is actually due to how your computer reads your HD. So if you ever freeze your HD in atapwed.exe by mistake, then all you have to do is go to your computer bios and change how the computer reads it. So from it being "AUTO" you would change it to "DISABLED" or in my case on my bios I had the option "NOT INSTALLED". I now have a working 160GB HD in my xbox. SWEET! Please e-mail me at scapegoatwax@hotmail.co.uk for any help if you are having trouble with your softmod hd upgrade. I went through nearly every possible error, but can tell you that it was well worth it. Cheers for all the help on this site and all the guides, Dal.
