I just bought a used 160GB Hard drive for my xbox. How do I change it? SHould I format it first with my computer? And, do I have to unlock the otherone from my xbox?
Can I suggest reading to it the complete works of Marx and Lenin? That should change it.. no more capitalist imperialist peeeg games on that xbox. hehehehehehehe
wait, but it detects the old hard drive in my xbox, but when I try the new one, it won't detect it, it says pleae shutdown, disconect and reboot. what do I do? should I format the new harddrive with my computer first, then try? it's 160gb.
ok, now, I have another xbox with a service error of 7. I take it the HDD is dead. How do I switch the old one out and install a new one?
ok, as for the new hard drive I am installing. I am trying to install my WD 160GB HDD using the chimp method. When I do the clone, it kepps saying all down the scrre, this: hdb: no DRQ after issuing WRITE_EXT what does that mean? does it mean it's copying the files? Also, it is saying that it is locked, how do I unlock it? I tried using chimp, but it didn't work.
I don't trust Chimp! I much prefer the good old fashioned eeprom way! Chimp has no recovery process should things go wrong!
A guy I know is making me an eeprom reader, so I should be able to fix the other one. Now, when I buy a hard drive, say it's used, I should buy it unlocked, right? otherwise it's no good? and where is a good place/site to buy hdd's for the xbox, like large ones?
I just buy standard PC HDD from my local PC shop! Cheap as anything now. Real easy to setup if you have the eeprom reader!
do you have a tutu on how to set that up? so you can just buy any ide hard drive from a pc store, and set it up to work on your xbox? how do you do that? did you set it up with your computer?
