skorpiocnt Posted April 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 I have a y power spliter powering both drives and I did run chimp before switching the drives. I'll try updating chimp itself as I am using the one from the hexen disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The version on Hexen 2018 disc should be the latest 261812 version but if it's Hexen 2017 or an earlier release most likely it is not the latest version of Chimp 261812. Update: I checked the version of Chimp on HeXEn 2018. It is the latest version of Chimp 261812. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skorpiocnt Posted April 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Well, Ive tried the newest version of chimp and cannot clove the drive. It just stays stuck at the loading chimp screen once i have swapped the drives and hit A. Guess I'll have to wait till my new 80 wire comes in and try again. Unless the ide to sata bridge board is screwed but it lights up and seems fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The adapter must have a MASTER/SLAVE jumper to configure the adapter as SLAVE during cloning then set to MASTER when the HDD is installed to boot.

skorpiocnt Posted April 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 Yeah, my adapter is just a generic one I ordered of amazon. It only has a ide to sata or sata to ide jumpers on it. that must be the problem....DOH!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ging3rguy Posted April 30, 2019 Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 As you have a chipped box you can just format and build the drive with hexen. Cloning is only necessary for softmodded boxes because the hdd needs to be locked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skorpiocnt Posted April 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2019 I wanted to do that but I hadn't ever cracked that system open so when I did the clock capacitor was still in it and had a minor leak so I pulled it out and cleaned the board. When I put in a new drive with hexen I got the error 5 ( dash cant set clock). So i wanted to clone the drive I had working in it before to get around that error.

Error 5 is unlocked hdd, are you loading to M$ dash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 OP, I think you need to unlock the original hard drive before installing a new unlocked HDD. Do you know what BIOS you are booting? Verify that the modchip is enabled and not loading a stock MS BIOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
