I have an old xbox that wasn't working for sometime. My hard drive was shot and its been collecting dust. A friend of mine recently burnt up his motherboard installing a mod chip and decided to give me his hard drive . I took his mod chip installed it on my motherboard and am using his OEM hard drive. As most of you already know, and as I just recently found out, this aint gonna work. His harddrive was never unlocked.
I have an xecuter 2.6 with Flashbios 3.03 on 1 bank and X2 4.0 somthing on the other. I have yet to install a dashboard, because I keep getting the oops screen with the 06 error. On the Flashbios bank I keep getting. "Unable to read HDD first sector. . . "
Basically am I screwed or what? I've read where I could swap the eeprom. I really don't feel like doing all that soldering. Is my best option just to by a new Hard drive? Do I have any other options. I tried Slayers disc, but I'm assuming I have to have an unlocked HDD to install it first.
