Finally, It Worked!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much all of you guys for your help you made this possible, it was indeed the SATA adapter i got a new one and everything went perfect, i can finally play Thanks once again

Is TSOP flash safe to do? Can it brick my Xbox? I will perform it with e conductive paint my soldering skills are not really good.

what is that TSOP? what is the difference between the softmod i have? and how to do it please

Can i just copy all the files from Original XBOX Drive and paste it to the new Hard drive? is it going to work or not at all?

1.4

Lol, im done i will quit man literally i spent so much time with this think, i should have got an IDE drive no adapters no nothing.

ok i want to try Falcons method with XboxHDM23 Do you know how to connect my IDE Xbox drive to pc i have one of these adapters from IDE TO Sata but i have no idea how the connections need to be.

Hi Dave, yes it is on the slave and Xbox drive is On Master or single drive.

Hello guys, the issue I have here is that I do the hot swap method, launch chimp and it gives me error 21. I have tried so many times, I got the SATA to Ide adapter to Slave I start with the 80wire ribbon cable to the Disk drive and then to the new hard drive but when I load Chimp is not working. My New hard drive is working I did a low level format on my PC and is all cleaned now but still I cannot get it to do open with Chimp. what I am doing wrong? Just to add i installed chimp and when i opened the xbox with WINSCP to see the files i had to folders on E/Apps And E/Applications i erased E/Apps and just kept E/Applications Chimp

Hello Guys i am back again, the issue I have here is that I do the hot swap method, launch chimp and it gives me error 21.

Yes this is what CEX sent me here in the UK i will try and give it back to them but i thought let's see first if this works with the Xbox and then i will take it back as this is a failing hard drive. I Will try and do the low level format Kaos and then i will try once more with chimp and hot swap method, if that works hopefuly i will put it in place and wait for the replacment if not i am going to wait for the ide adapter to try Falcon's way, i am so desperate to upgrade that hard drive as the old one is so small.

Hi Kaos, yes it was a clean formatted when i received it i think it's FAT32 i will try and the thing you have told me and then try again hit Hotswap method and Chimp or do something else? this is the issue the drive showed when i checked it.

This will be really good if it works, unfortunately i do not have a way to connect the IDE drive to my PC i ordered a an adapter to do that when it comes i will try, this hard disk swap thing came to be more hard than i thought.

I Have followed his tutorial and still got the same issue, i am thinking of just doing the upgrade now straight away by installing the drive in the place of the IDE one. Can i do that? i have the Hexen disk to fix the drive but is it going to work as i seen on youtube? I Just have a softmoded Xbox no TSOP or any other Flash methods. Thanks for your reply.

It Does have a slave and master and i put it to slave since the beggining and still nothing happens at all. I Wanted to know if it's possible just to add the new hard drive without doing the cloning method, i have a Rocky5 Softmod on my xbox.

Thanks a lot for your reply bro, I just tried everything, I get the same message all the times, can I just Upgrade my Hard drive straight away or I need the old IDE drive to do that? I was thinking if I can take with FTP the files from the IDE drive and put it on the Sata one, I am just desperate to change that drive as it has only 4GB or space and its annoying with the games. Please if you know any other solutions share it with me. All the best to you!

Hello Guys, i have a softmoded Xbox console and i wanted to upgrade my Hard drive From the Stock To a 500GB Seagate Barracuda Drive, I tried everything I connected the Molex power cable, 80 Wire Cable, loaded the Chimp app to try and get inside to do it but it just keeps saying " Unable to boot the first sector" I tried again and nothing worked, I have a normal SATA to ide adapter which shows light, I put Ito slave and still nothing happens, I Have an original controller and using an RGB Cable but still nothing, all i get is this message, can someone help me please?

Hi my friend, have you tried checking the Controller ports inside the Xbox? Clean them with some isopropyl alcohol from the oustide and check if their connections are okay inside the Xbox, some cable might be loose which can cause the controller to fail, if not then it's the controller it self as you said it's a 3rd Party try open and it and fix it if not, try order one from Aliexpress i know they have 3rd Parties as well but their quality is good and i never had any problems with their electronics. Here you can check if that helps you with your controller. Wish you good luck
