something to do with the sata adapter...

what is a dead drive ? how is that possible ? my hd works perfectly fine, if i change it with an other dvd drive than he dead one i get error 13-- i have tried 5 different drives (including a samsung 616dt)all 5 drives(including the 1.6's dvd) work in other xbox's just not the 1.6

i was trying trying to replace the dvd drive in my 1.6 rocky 5 softmod, uix dash ..when i change dvd drives i get an error 13 when i swap them , if i put the old broken dvd the softmod boots fine..i dunno what to do hear i went as far as removing the softmod but that didnt work either .. thoughts ?

im not ftping them they are already the xbox drive in iso format , its bout sixty games i would like the quickest method

so i finally got the unlock from my OG XB hard drive i ported all my files over and i dont see any games i had in ISO format , if i FTP i can see them in my games folder ... i used the rocky 5 softmod on my new XB ,so did i do something wrong ??

i already tried that with both of modded xbox's , then re-build to a stock 5960 , no matter what i do the HD drive i pop is always black whrn i power it on or has unleash x and any app i use turns me to a black screen ..even used a xboxhdm and i get the same result . @KaosEngineer is it possible to just use the pc drive? i read in another forum someone used a standard dvd in an xbox and crediting to you a guide he use to loop and ground the dvd power cable so that a regular dvd drive could be used in its place

i tried that when i did it the back will not boot

the softmod didnt finish , it rebooted to finish the final step when the drive died , for the most part my softmod is working , i have SID with unleash x on it , i hate that dash and want uix , its been a good 10 years since i have done this and completely have forgotten how i setup sid with UIX in the 1st place with the SID. i keep reading that ndure is the new way to go but i kept having issues installing it , as it goes black every time i try to install it( i think it failed do to dvd drives)... i figured since the drive completely took a dump , i could get away with just a drive that can just read the disc

i got it working thanks !!

yes it does , i also have avalaunch installed as an app

I literally lost 4 xbox dvd drives this week(cant seem to fix any of them following guides i have been reading ) , and have been reading that a lg 8164b can be used as a replacement. i really dont care if can play OG games i just need it to finish my softmod . So my question is , will i need to make any modification to use this drive or will it work just plug-in it in the IDE and using a power splitter ? anyone ?

lol i figured out what you meant last night , after i re-read it ....TY ! work like a charm

um where is a good point ?

is there an alternate place to solder the d0 port than the chip ? im trying to do a hotswap to reflash my other chip
