v1.6 softmod works great.
Made a 500 gb HDD with HDM 1.9. Locked and loads to default M$ dash fine.
Here's the problem. No (tested and working) DVD players plays dvd's/games (to re-softmod) ive tried 3. It gets "Your Xbox can't recognize this disc. Make sure it's a xbox game, DVD...". If I let the M$ dash fully load and pop in the game (splinter cell in this case) the dash freezes for a minute or so then gives the same error. If i start it with a game in the dvd player and turn on the xbox it takes a longggg time (several minutes) and then goes to the M$ dash and gives the same, Error.
Thoughts? I don't care about having a working dvd player but I do need to load the softmod...

I would try cleaning the laser anyway I can or I would borrow another dvd drive for a minute or two from another xbox to get the job done - then you can sort out your cluster size then fill it up and enjoy

Solving the problem a different way, why don't you put the softmod files in the correct places in your XBOXHDM file strcuture, then rebuild the hard disc.

Re: Softmod ungraded HDD wont read DVD's
Just a thought but you might want to try and move the Master/Slave jumper on your HDD to CS or MASTER, whichever you're not currently set to.
Maybe the IDE controller is having a hard time with your new HDD.

Re: Softmod ungraded HDD wont read DVD's
Thanks for the reply guys.
blighty: I have tried 3 different tested and working DVD Drives. I have literally booted a game with one DVD drive in another xbox, unplugged it and plugged it into this new xbox and it says it can read the disc. I have tried cleaning it also.
spicemuseum: I have directly copied all my C and E folders from the original xbox hard drive after softmodding it and placed those same files in my HDM folders along with the eeprom in its folder. What else can I do to make the drive more correctly? ]
psyko_chewbacca: I tried moving the jumper and got error 07. I tried another sata to IDE converter with the same results.
I do have a TSOP (x2.5035) box I can use if there are any other work arounds you guys can think of. When i just put the drive in the TSOP box it tries to load the config file, which obviously isn't there but should still boot either disc or to the M$ dash, but the front LED just starts flashing...

What IDE cable you using? Most adapters don't work with the 40 wire version (default xbox one)

Re: Softmod ungraded HDD wont read DVD's
The xbox won't load that HDD if its locked to another EEPROM, if it was unlocked then that xbox would load the drive fine.I do have a TSOP (x2.5035) box I can use if there are any other work arounds you guys can think of. When i just put the drive in the TSOP box it tries to load the config file, which obviously isn't there but should still boot either disc or to the M$ dash, but the front LED just starts flashing...
The loading config screen is the bios waiting for the HDD to initialize, so it can read the config file.
So there a pre a few ways to get this working without a disc.
1, unlock the drive, with HDM & use the Tsop drive to sick the correct files on. (Then lock the HDD with your 1.6 EEPROM) (use chimp)
2, use HDM to softmod your xbox. (There are tutorials)
Check all connection, or upload some images/videos for use to see

X2.5035 is a v1.6 only BIOS, which means it can't be a TSOP.
Re: Softmod ungraded HDD wont read DVD's
Did you disable the shadow C protection before coping everything over? If not all you got was a stock C drive :-/dballs wrote:spicemuseum: I have directly copied all my C and E folders from the original xbox hard drive after softmodding it and placed those same files in my HDM folders along with the eeprom in its folder.

It can be flashed to v1.0/1.1 xboxes, I was testing it out the other day, since people say its good & most use it. It's not good lol ind-bios so much better, more features & I can hide the damn config! (Custom config path)

I know why...
It's a 512k BIOS which won't fit in a v1.2-v1.5 TSOP. ...and of course it comes in a specific v16plus variety for v1.6 boxes with modchip.
There. Excuses out of the way. Apologies for any confusion caused.
Re: Softmod ungraded HDD wont read DVD's
Well I took the HDD out and tried to unlock it with HDM and go an error. It sees the drive but then says:
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
hda: DMA disabled
hdb: DMA disabled
Then once it finally loads and i try xboxunlock -a or xboxhd (depedning on what i chose in HDM) it says "No drive on master. Connect a drive and reboot" (or something of that nature).
Is the drive F'ed?
