ka5ug4 Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 I tried to load a DVD-R of the Rocky5 extras disc (trying to TSOP flash with a lost usb cable and nonworking Ethernet), and now my system throws up an error 21 on boot... The HDD refuses to be recognized by fatxplorer (could the locking be the cause?) after attaching it to my PC via this adapter. I'm considering just trying a modchip, although the only I found so far (OpenXenium) requires internet for a BIOS flash, so I'm hoping there's a way to make this drive bootable again.

KaosEngineer Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 Do you have the eeprom.bin file from your xbox saved on your PC? FATXplorer 3.0 beta will not be able to access the drive's content until it is unlocked. While the hard drive is connected to your PC with the Vantec adapter, start a cmd.exe window and type in the following command: wmic diskdrive get model,name What is its output? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USB alone cannot power a 3.5" drive. It requires a power supply to provide 5Vdc and 12Vdc to the hard drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also forgot to add that I tried the Xbox Live disc method, (Halo 2 was used) and I still got the error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMartigan Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 I bought this one off eBay for less than $5 shipped years ago when I ran into a console repair with a similar issue. It worked perfectly while using the Xbox to power the drive. Were you attempting a HDD upgrade or are you trying to recover the stock HDD? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ka5ug4 Posted May 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2023 Apologies for never responding, but I'll give an update on what happened to ensure nobody in the future is left in the dark: The AGPTek one didn't work either so I bought another one. The new not only didn't work, but had the power supply explode! Suffice to say I've decided the only true fix for myself would be to hardmod with an OpenXenium chip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos for choosing the openXenium over a god damn Aladdin chip. You made my day. Happy modding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
