lwilson Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Hello, I am new to this site and I have this 1.0 version xbox and it used to work fine and it wasn't modded in any way shape or form. Now there is a clicking noose coming from the HHD and I'm assuming it's dead or dying as I keep getting the error 07. Is there anyway to fix this without modding the console? All help is appreciated!

SS_Dave Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 I would say no. The easy way is to fit a mod-chip the you can fit a new hard drive the use a install disk of your choice to set up the drive to you liking, There are mod chip's for around $4usd and upwards. Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 It can be fixed but much easier after installing a modchip. Hard Drive Replacement Without a Modchip You need an EEPROM reader, PC with a 9-pin serial port or Raspberry Pi and 3 dupont jumper wires to read the contents of the serial configuration EEPROM on the motherboard. Using a PC with a serial EEPROM reader, run PonyProg software to read the content of the chip or with a Raspberry Pi use the PiPROM application. Save the 256 bytes of data to a file named eeprom.bin. Build a new HDD with from a PC running Windows 7 or 10 64-bit version using XboxHDM23USB Beta 2 or 3 (requires a new hard drive - IDE or SATA, if SATA an IDE-to-SATA adapter and 80-wire 40-pin cable to replace the one in the Xbox), and a USB-to-HDD interface adapter to connect the hard drive to the PC. The Xbox hard drive needs to be locked so copy the eeprom.bin file read/saved earlier to the folder where you extract XboxHDM23USB Beta 2 or Beta 3 to on your PC before running it. XboxHDM23USB Beta 2 needs a copy of the MS dashboard files (latest version is 5960) added to the provided C folder. Beta 3 is pre-configured to install a bootable version of Rocky5's Xbox Softmodding Tool installer. Modchip Hard Drive Replacement With a modchip installed a new hard drive and IDE-to-SATA adapter and new high-speed 80-wire 40-pin IDE cable (24" length) is required but no EEPROM reader or building the Xbox drive using a PC. Boot Hexen 2018, format the drive and build a new NTSC or PAL hard drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
