Xbox running very slow

Just installed an Xecuter 3 into a 1.6 xbox, everything went great.. I flashed the chip with the latest bios, Xbox was booted nicely, then I decided to throw on a dashboard - EvoX.. again everything was working nicely, uploaded some applications and was finished!

Only thing left to do now was to screw the top casing back on.. so did that, then rechecked my xbox and I start getting some weird errors - error code 6, hmm..

After much fiddling around I got it booting again but now it's going very slow (the startup animation sequence is slugish), and now my dash is gone and boots to the X3 setup screen.. when I hold Eject and Power at the same time it gives me the message - Drive 161 : Not Detected - but it correctly identifies the drive right above. I've also been getting messages saying cannot read partition...

I can ftp into the xbox, but again goes very slow and I cannot see any files or folders, except what is in the Admin partition

Any ideas on what happened here and what I can do to fix?

Oh man! Not sure how it happened but after doing more trouble shooting I discovered it was the IDE cable.. I actually damaged the cable when pulling it off the DVD drive (which was not being detected).. replaced and everything is running smoothly again!
