Tysonb Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) hi there, im sorry for my english i'm dutch so it's far from perfect. I have a problem with upgrading my hdd on my xbox classic, i saw on youtube that i can buy a sata hdd, a convertor to sata and a 80 wire cable. When the xbox starts i get error 16. My drive and the disc are good because with the original hdd it runs hexen 2019. Im a bit of a noob with this so please be gentle with me. I hope some one can help me Edited August 13, 2020 by Tysonb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ging3rguy Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Hiya, do you have a hard or soft mod as the upgrade procedure is different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tysonb Posted August 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 I don't know, i softmodded many xboxes to sell them but these 2xboxes i didn't do myself..can i see if it's a hard or softmod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ging3rguy Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Easy way to see if is a chip is to open it up. If you have the new hdd already put it in the Xbox and turn it on with Hexen in the dvd drive, if it asks you if you want to format the new drive it’s a hard mod.

Ging3rguy Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Okay then it is probably a soft mod, use chimp to clone your drive to format and clone your c and e partition. Here a how to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDShadow Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Softmod plus disc plus unlocked new master HDD = Error 16. One thing to add - make 100% sure you've partitioned the extended partitions F:\ and G:\ correctly. I'm sure those videos covered it but it is vital with a 2TB HDD that it is done correctly. Check with the app XBPartitioner v1.3 that both drives 6 and 7 (ie. F:\ & G:\) have roughly equal volumes <1GiB each and that there are no ER (error) notifications for either drive.
