willis Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 I have a sata hard drive that is compatible with the xbox, along with the little converter board needed. I also have a new 40 pin / 80 wire ribbon cable for the sata HDD. When I do the initial hot swap of the ribbon cable from the DVD drive, do I use the original one in the Xbox or the new one? I ask because I tried the new one and it seemed to boot up fine while both hdd's are powered on with a y splitter Molex. Now when i ran chimp, it seemed to start ok but then it just froze up and didn't go any further. It started and got to those first initial error text (which is normal on doing this I believe). However it just sat there and didn't prompt me to press a button to proceed any further. So I wasn't sure if there was any steps I missed.

willis Posted September 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Not sure what to think..... It worked when I tried it again tonight. Before chimp wouldn't go, now it did and everything seems good. I don't like when I can't explain how or why ha! HDD is in and partitioned as it should.
