Is it possible to softmod my xbox even if i already have a modchip? Problem is i dont know if my chip is still in good working condition cause sometimes my xbox just loop then flashing green/red or doesnt load evox. Can i use this cause i dont want to buy modchip again. Any suggestion what should i do?

[nukleuzdj]

I have an xbox with a broken DVD drive (error 11 flashing red and green)

if I do this mod is there any chance it could work evox from hdd without the need for a new dvd rom?(probily not as im assuming its a bios error so it still would not boot?)

its not chipped hacked or anything just a totally untouched xbox

I just tryed to soft mod and Something went wrong I get the error 21.Anyone know how to fix?

[nukleuzdj]

So I jumped right in and did this mod, which worked perfectly, even with a broken DVD rom.


Using an old PC cd writer as slave to trick the xbox into booting, (no more error 11)

and now its got a 20 gig laptop HDD (biggest spare I had lying around)
booting and running perfectly

also just changed the dash over to XBMC

So a pretty much written off xbox is now working great again (well with no DVD rom anyway)

Thanks to op and others in this thread

how would i do this if i hotswapped on my windows machine while its running? I cant run the cd this way? confused any help will be appreciated
edit: i dont have an IDE cable to use?? dammit dell so i need to use my dvd drive IDE how can i run the programs and install them while running windows?

[Sudds]

You must change your comp settings to boot from the DVD/CD Rom Drive, not your HD, which will in turn free up your IDE cable that you need to hotswap with.

[slammed00si]

thats not the problem? somehow my dell doesnt use a standard IDE for the hd? it only has a standard IDE for the dvd drive? So i would have to swap while the comp is booted to windows already.

[Sudds]

I think your stuck then, you need to boot the CD from the get go.
Does your HD use SATA?
