hard disk upgrade/clone not working

[corona2222]

I'm trying to replace the stock HDD for a 1TB HDD on my v1.6 xbox but get code 13 after BIOS boots.
Configuration:
OpenXenium modchip with XeniumOS231, Cerbios 2.1.0Beta
Star adapter for IDE->Sata
New sata 1TB HDD is on the compatibility list, reported to work/lockable: https://xboxdrives.x-pec.com/?p=drive&did=5971

General Processs:
I use the XeniumOS disk tools menu to clone the stock HDD to the new HDD following the guidance.
Swaped the Star Adapter jumper to slave for the clone and back to master after 
stock HDD on HD end of IDE cable and new HDD at DVD end
After clone I put the DVD Drive back on IDE cable, and new HDD at HD end.
Check all the files on new HDD are duplicated correct (pulled the contents of new and stock HDDs to PC via FTP and filediff the lot)
I put cerbios.ini on the new HDD C:\ (also tried without)
I lock the new HDD via XeniumOS disk tools menu
Tried boot standard cerbios and UDMA5 cerbios
Retail bios also errors 13 (which worked fine with stock HD)

Result:
front LED 75% red, 25% green - HD error.
Display shows error 13 (pictured)

Observations:
Confirmed Xenium works as expected with stock HDD, boots to stock xbox menu
Confirmed the new HDD is locked (going into XeniumOS and see 'Unlock')
I've also tried cloning using XboxHD and locked the HD using v1.6 eeprom - same error 13 result
Looked at the new HDD in XFATExplorer and all looks correct unlocked. Also unlocked using the eeprom & relocked - so its definitely locking with correct key.

stumped what to try next.

try inserting hexen or other tools disk like rocky5 extras, to access file explorer, to check if files are present. You could try at the same time format HDD with xbpartitioner, and reinstall stock dashboard files.

No need to lock HDD when using modchip.

You using 80pin IDE data cable, not the stock xbox?

startech adapter? It says it supports ata33, must work with stock cable. Those cheapo ebay/aliexpress supports only ata 100/133, this is why it requires 80pin data cable, but they work fine in my experience.
