    My xbox was fine yesterday, but when I picked it up and moved it, I turned it on and got the 05 error. I looked it up and it said HD is locked. I thought some wires might have came loose, but I was inside and tightened everything up, and it didn't help. Other forums are saying you have to unlock HD in the evox system menu, but when I turn the box on, I get as far as the XBOX logo. Is it possible my HD is fried?

    have you replaced the original hard drive?

    Download evoX and edit this part of the evox.ini file:

    Section "Root"
    {
    Item "Launch DVD",ID_Launch_DVD
    Item "MS Dashboard",ID_MS_Dash
    Item "Reboot",ID_Quick_Reboot
    # Item "Power Cycle",ID_Full_Reboot
    Item "Power Off",ID_Power_Off
    # Item "Lock Harddisk",@210
    # Item "Unlock Harddisk",@211

    Take out those "#" signs next to the unlock harddisk and lock harddisk. Then save and create a .iso file with a program called xISO (also found in the usuall places). Then just burn the .iso as a cd image to a CD-RW, or you might have to use a dvd-r.
    After all that, you'll boot with the evoX boot disk in, and should load evoX, now with an option to lock/unlock the hard drive. :D

    Hi

    Ok to start with
    error 5 = kernel hdd NOT locked (retail bios requires the hdd to be locked)

    It sounds like "if you have a mod chip & large hdd" that the chip is NOT booting and that the M$ onvboard bios is attempting to boot up but is failing to pass the hdd check due to an unlocked hdd.

    Regards
