    there should be an error code(a number) in the corner of the screen i believe. It may be elsewhere, idk. Post the error code and we can help you.

    Error 6 means that it cannot unlock the xbox's HD. Perhaps the HD is from another xbox or isn't set up correctly? Ask your friend if they swapped the hd? Because swapping the HD without setting it up correctly means that it cannot unlock the hard drive.
