A hard modded (mod chipped or bios reflashed) Xbox can use a PC DVD drive to read non original game disks and home brew disks ( Hexen, OGXbox Install, Slayers).
You will need a power cable splitter for the 4 pin HDD power.
Then remove the 40 pin cable from the Xbox DVD and connect to the PC DVD.
Then load the install disk in the PC did drive and power cycle the Xbox and it should load.

Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.Nope. 07 again.

Or you could try and find a PC IDE DVD drive to connect in place of the Xbox DVD drive and use a install DVD to repair the HDD in the Xbox.

You could try making a new hard drive with Fatxplorer and see if it boots from that as the mod chip may/should allow a unlocked hard drive.

What were all the lines displayed after executing the unlock option?
There should be many displayed showing the result of each step being performed.
What is the vendorID and productID of the USB-to-HDD interface adapter you are using?
Some require editing the batch files to add an additional command-line option to each call to the application smartctl.exe.
First this:

The hard drive will have to be unlocked first.
XboxHDM23USB Beta 3 can be used to unlock it. Place the eeprom.bin file in the folder where you extract it.
I checked after unlock and it's says this
"ATA Security is: ENABLED, PW level HIGH, **LOCKED** [SEC4]"

salvageable, since you have the eeprom.bin backup
there should be files in the C and E partitions
Try using FATXplorer Beta 3.0
I tried but HDD didn’t shown on the list.

I was trying to upgrade my HDD with chimp but end of the sequence I can’t get pass the startup screen (without Microsoft logo). I tried xbhdm both disc and usb but no luck but Iooked at the HDD, C and E files is there but they’re empty. Btw i tried Hexen and og xbox installation discs but again doesn’t worked. I’ll add the board’s picture and you’ll notice that the chip is different and an odd one. I also have HDD’s eeprom.
Is this situation salvageable or is it dead? I also have an non-chipped non-softmodded spare one as well. Thanks in advance.
