HARD DRIVE PROBLEMS 07-Kernel = Usually a hard drive timeout but can also be a DVD drive problem This is usually bad news. In a standard stock Xbox it normally means the hard drive is dead or dying and will have to be replaced but I have seen several instances of a DVD drive defect causing an error 7. See "Flashing Red and Green" below for hard drive information. There's no way to tell which component is causing the problem without swapping out parts and seeing if it works or not. If you have an error 7 coming up you're welcome to send me the console and I can see if there's a reasonably cheap way to fix it. If I can't fix it or it's going to cost too much there's no charge for diagnosing the problem but you'd be out for the postage. you can buy a modchip and lock an unlock harddrive to the motherdoard but it needs to be a unlock hd.
@ekim512 Not true. If he's working with anything but a hard mod, there is a good amount of effort that goes into it, seeign as they are individually locked and coded to SPECIFIC bios eeproms. It requires some effort, hopefully mikey23 has a backup of his eeprom or something, cause he's going to need it...
