I got an 1.6 xbox softmoded and I want to install an aladdin chip. Is there any possibility  Softmod interfeer with modchip? 
 
Am I good to do it?

Hi, 
I have an OG Xbox with an unknow (to me) Mod, it was given to me maybe 10 years ago as it is now. The mod chip has a paper backing with no writing and the other side only has info re: the jumpers (pic), no identifiers that I could find. The boot screen shows XECUTER2 (pic) and the dashboard it goes to shows RemoteX v1.8.2812. It'll play backed up games and had one game loaded to the HDD listed in apps (not games), but due to E: being low on free space I deleted the data files for said game so it is up to over 4GB free now. 
I tried to upgrade the HDD with a 500GB SATA HDD using a PATA to SATA adapter (setting the jumper as needed) but the system would boot to a service error. I then tried a known good IDE drive which lead to the same error. Unless that is not a mod chip and this is soft modded?
I have HeXEn 2018 on DVD, booted to that and tried to install Chimp to E so that I could clone the data to another drive. It installs but when I go to my dashboard I do not see chimp but the files are on E:
Any ideas if this is soft modded or is that indeed a modchip?  Suggestions on how to proceed in getting another HDD in the system? I don't need any of the data on there, would just like to be able to get the drive in and FTP over some games.  Any other suggestions? Thanks for reading!

Hey all, I recently ordered a 1.0 motherboard and hdd off of ebay and went to mod it.  Before modding, I booted them up and found them to be working properly.  The clock cap was leaking bad so I replaced that.  I soldered up the pin header to the LPC, connected a wire to the D0 pad and routed that to the Open Xenium I have, and went to boot it up.  I'm greeted with a solid red LED on the modchip, and the xbox booting up into the normal bios.  Attempting to boot into XeniumOS by pressing the eject button yields the same results.  This modchip did originally come out of a 1.6, flashed with Evox M8+ 1.6. 
Just to rule out the modchip going bad on me, I wired it back up into the 1.6 and it booted perfectly.  I threw an Aladdin chip, that's also flashed with Evox M8+ 1.6, into the 1.0 also, and it will not boot into custom bios either.  I've reflowed my joints multiple times, and my D0 solder job is good (I believe lol), so I'm really not sure what's going on.  Any tips would be greatly appreciated.  LPC solder joints have been reflowed like 4 times so they look bad lol, forgive me.
