we need to know the error code, my guess is its error code 05, which means your hard drive isnt locked. without hard drive locked, factory ms bios will not boot the hard drive. kinda a bitch because as far as i know, you can't lock or unlock without a savegame hack which wont work cause you need the box to boot before you can set it up. only other way is chip it again... but sucks cause chip is buggered. which chip is it?
