Good News. New 2tb Hdd rebuild has been successful. The error 16 was due to me using the original 40 wire ide cable. As soon as i switched to the new 80 wire it loaded. Rebuilt the c dive with original MS dash, also built the E partition with the rocky5 softmod files. That way when i loaded up splinter cell the softmod save was ready to go. Got xbmc4gamers installed and made sure the F and G partitions were formatted and ready to go. Happy with the way things turned out with xboxhdm. Thanks for all the help. Would have posted my success sooner but i had a 24hr limit cause i posted too much yesterday.

My initial softmod went without a hitch. Managed to copy my eeprom and null the hard drive key and backed it up to my pc. I started to have issues when i was trying to upgrade the HDD. My first issues was ChimpLoader wouldn't load and would just shutdown the xbox. That turned out to be the component cables. Swapped the cables for composite and Chimp loaded. After fiddling around with the cable swap fir Chimp i noticed i lost video signal. I rebooted the xbox and then started getting a loud continuous beep coming from the stock drive. I hooked the stock drive up to my PC using an IDE to usb adapter and after failing to read the drive using xboxhdm i noticed that the adapter was super hot and i could smell burning. At this point i knew the drive was dead. This is what brought me onto try and rebuild the drive using a new 2tb sata drive.

Thanks for the response. So i tried xboxhdm again. I noticed that i would get the out of memory error when it would ask if i wanted the F partition formatted. So this time i told it no and it continued without error, says it copied the C and E files i had placed in the relevant folder. So after all was done i locked the hdd and popped it back in the xbox. Now comes a new error, Error 16. Now i read that error 16 is due to the xbox not being able to find the clock setting part of the dashboard. Did i not copy the correct C drive files? the ones i used were in the Rocky5 v1.1.8 under Installer variants > XBHDM Build > C . Are these the correct C drive files or was i suppose to add some other C drive files?

Thanks, i did watch a pretty good video by The Tech Hoarder on using xboxhdm but i ran into a problem that i havent been able to overcome yet. About half way through the process i think during the formatting section, i get a "out of memory" error. Then for all remaining steps it reports errors. I did a search for this error and found a couple of references to it, but non gave a solutions. If anyone has any solutions to this error it would be appreciated. I have tested this on xboxhdm23usb-Beta2, xboxhdm23usb-Beta3 and xboxhdm23usb-Beta4 and im using a 2tb sata drive.

Hello, So while softmodding my V1.0 Xbox i managed to fry the original HDD. I was lucky enough to be able to get the Eeprom from the old hdd before it fried but i haven't bee able to find a guide on how to build a new drive. I had originally bought an 80 wire IDE and startech IDE to SATA adapter and have a 2tb hdd ready to use. Can anyone guide me on what i need to do to create a new Hdd?
