[Write Softmod Directly To New Hdd]

The only issue I had with the process is that my usb to ide adapter isn't fully supported and I had to modify lockhdd.bat and unlockhdd.bat by adding "-d sat" to all of the smartctl commands:

lockhdd.bat

@Echo off & SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion & mode con:cols=80 lines=35 
smartctl.exe -d sat -g security /dev/sd%1

smartctl.exe -d sat -s security-eeprom-setpass,..\eeprom.bin /dev/sd%1
echo Press any key to continue

pause > nul

unlockhdd.bat

@Echo off & SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion & mode con:cols=80 lines=35 
smartctl.exe -d sat -g security /dev/sd%1

smartctl.exe -d sat -s security-eeprom-unlock,..\eeprom.bin /dev/sd%1

smartctl.exe -d sat -s security-eeprom-disable,..\eeprom.bin /dev/sd%1

echo Press any key to continue

pause > nul

Followed along with a 2tb drive and it seems to have worked, the xbox is booting up again. Thanks again for the help.

So I have a 1.0 with a dead HDD, I used PiPROM to recover the eeprom.bin so I can build a new drive. Is there a tutorial somewhere on adding a softmod directly to the new drive before I lock it?
