    I dismantled and washed an xbox and cleaned the motherboard with alcohol tips - the problem is that the motherboard - controller ports - inner plastic parts of dvd drive and hard drive still stink - it’s like a stale cigarette smell any suggestions? Thanks

    Does it look like a 1.6? I thought a 1.6 wouldn’t work if you remove the clock capacitor. I opened the dvd drive and there was goo all over the inside of it - I’m now beginning to think that someone spilt a drink on the console and that nothing has leaked - could I be right? i cleaned the dvd drive with alcohol and q tips but it still won’t read disks

    I opened an xbox that I picked up at the weekend last night. There was a problem with the disk drive as it kept opening an closing and wouldn't read a disk when it was held closed while the disk was spinning. I suspected a faulty drive but when I opened it I found that it was absolutely filthy inside and that something had leaked - I have attached pics - I think it's a 1.6 so I don't know what is leaking or if it is repairable - any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Very interested in this - I haven't done anything yet but I am afraid that his might happen.

    I have 3-4 original xbox consoles - If I null the hard drives on all my xbox consoles will I be able to interchange hard drives between each console? I want to clone a nulled drive and put the clone in another xbox with a nulled drive - will this work? Thanks

    Thanks - do you mean null the eeprom then copy it to a PC and put it in a folder with a title that relates to an xbox it came from? Sorry if this is stupid question.

    Thanks - I thought I read somewhere that it isn't a good idea to that on all versions of xbox - 1.6, 1.4, 1.2 and 1.1 are the versions I have lying around the house at the minute.

    A friend of mine setup my softmodded xbox hard drive with emulators, games etc and a cool dashboard - I'm just wondering how to clone the drive in order to use it in my spare xbox - I can unlock the drive in HDM V1.9 and there seems to be an option to clone a hard drive in HMD V1.9 as well - anyone tried this or is there another way without TSOP or chipped console? Thanks

    Softmodded - would this work? 1. Backup SATA drive to PC 2. Create a fresh 500gb IDE drive using old PC and HDM V.1 3. Softmod Freh IDE drive using ROCKY 5 4. FTP files that I backed up from PC to new drive Will it know to start in the xbmc 4 gamers dashboard as that’s the way the current SATA drive boots up?

    Hi - I have a 500GB SATA drive upgrade complete with Startech SATA to IDE connector and 80 pin IDE cable. However, I still feel my 400 GB IDE xbox loads coin ops games quicker. I bought a new old stock 500GB IDE drive and now I want to clone my SATA drive to my IDE Drive. Is this possible? I could use Chimp or could I use HDM V1.9? I would Prefer to use HDM V1.9 but I'm not sure it would recognise a SATA drive even if it is connected using a Startech SATA to IDE - anyone shed any light on this? Thanks
  12. C64MidRezzie
    It's long but the cable is designed to have two hard drives on top of each other connected to a pc motherboard so no matter what I do the two close together IDE connectors won't connect to both the dvd drive and the motherboard at the same time.
  13. C64MidRezzie
    Okay so the cable I got from my local pc repair shop won’t work as two of the ide connectors are too close together - has anyone a link to a cable on Amazon or the like that definitely fits the xbox - thanks

    What skin do you all like? I'd like to use xbox xbmc emustation but I can't seem to get Coin Ops Ninja Massive to appear on it - so I'm looking for an alternative skin - any ideas greatly appreciated - thanks.

    The HDAT2 disk fix and repair showed that the drive had 5 bad sectors and it couldn't fix them - I guess it's time to chuck the drive - nothing I need on it as I was going to just use HDM V1.9 to create a fresh new hard drive for my xbox.
  16. C64MidRezzie
    It's actually a completely fresh upgrade mod because I used HDM V 1.9 - it's a fresh clean install of the C and E drives. I prefer to softmod a drive that doesn't have any clutter on it from previous mods.

    It was my treatment of the drives that caused it - We moved to our new house 4 years ago and they were put up in the attic - the usual - freezing in Winter and boiling in summer. I must have put them up there by accident because I didn't even realise they were up there. I found a 300GB, 250GB, 160GB and 500GB (all IDE) in the attic a few weeks ago. My notes say I tested them before I moved house and they were all working perfectly. However, only the 300GB Maxtor and 250GB survived. Funny, you should mention PS2 - I picked up a SATA Hard Drive connector for my Phat PS2 when I was buying my Startech IDE to SATA connector for my XBOX. I was just trying out a 500GB SATA drive that I pulled from my old SKY Plus Box. Even with the Startech IDE to SATA I find it much slower than the IDE drives when loading games from Coin OPS. Not that it matters - I still play C64 games so it's still lightening quick by comparison. I think SATA is the way forward for me in the long run - just annoyed with myself for not leaving the drives in our spare room along with all my other Consoles.

    I know that the files are fine as I built another hard drive for the same xbox this morning and it works perfectly. I'm scanning the physical drive for errors now using HDAT2 and it already found an uncorrectable data error - that along with searching on google has led me to believe that the 500GB is dying. During my research I learned that the xbox might not load the drive if there are bad sectors on the disk - looks like the drive needs to be chucked in the bin.

    I successfully created and locked a 500GB IDE Seagate Hard drive using HDM V1.9. I transferred it to my xbox and it gets stuck at the xbox splash screen at start up for ages and then goes to Error 13 - any ideas? (It can take 2-3 minutes for the word "Microsoft" to appear under the xbox splash). Thanks
  20. C64MidRezzie
    Very strange - I know but glad it works
  21. C64MidRezzie
    I've sorted it now - see my last post but when I used Chimp it kept saying the Slave Drive was locked and I could not unlock it again. It unlocked the very first time I tried it - I know this for sure because I took a picture on my phone - however it must have locked the second I powered the xbox off. I tried countless times after that but I failed to unlock it. Thankfully the HDAT2 program worked and the guide was really easy to follow. Thanks again for all your help.

    Gave up on DBAN - Quick Erase at 00.04% after 15 minutes. Decided to follow the guide you linked above on HDAT2 - used the XBOXSCENE password and it worked! Thanks so much - I never ever heard of that program before - it's amazing and the guide was excellent. Thanks again!
  23. C64MidRezzie
    Tried Darik's Boot and Nuke - selected Quick Erase - it correctly identified the drive but after 4 mins it has an estimated 238 hours left I’ll give it an hour and see where it’s at
  24. C64MidRezzie
    Thanks - unfortunately you need the console it came from for this to work and I don't have that console any more.

    Do you know any such progs?
