1.1 XBOX Repaired. 1.6 XBOX nearly had another life.

Hi gamers!

Today my friend An!NE and I planned to fix the XBOX today, that had the confused dashboard problem. After configuring the PC BIOS and unlocking the error 21 HDD we finally repaired the C partition. With the trusty XBOXHDM this problem was short lived. The process was interesting and took us a good 3 hours to complete, we didn't run into any problems during the process. Luckily the settings for UnleashX are saved into a different partition, so everything that was there before this error occurred was still there.

Luckily the floating point between the XBOX and PC didn't decide to jump out today, it's a step from the hotswapping art I happened to forget which could of killed the XBOX and the PC all together. What a close one.

I also have another XBOX that's running "Christmas Lights" this term comes from the colour of the front LED that flashes upon an error which happen to be Green and Red. It's got "ERROR 06" which means the BIOS cannot lock and unlock the HDD upon booting. We managed to get the drive locked again by using XBOXHDM. With an old blurry picture we managed to get the HDD Key however.. since it's now paired to the PC motherboard it's impossible to pair it with the XBOX retail BIOS. The only way to fix this error is with a Modchip, and luckily this is the XBOX I'm planning to hardmod (Modchip). Reason for this is that the Modchips have their own BIOS and which ignores the state of the HDD whether it's locked or unlocked thus letting users put any large capacity HDD and running games from that.

Interesting day and couldn't of worked out better without An!NE. Thanks pal!
