I don't like to double post just to bump the thread, but I managed to extract my EEPROM backup from my 8gb hard drive today!

No, I'm in Canada.

Unfortunately so. Looks like I need another XBOX.

EDIT: Or a modchip. It'd be easier just to get another XBOX, though.

I said that in the first post of the thread. I can understand why it may be missed, since the post was quite long.

I do not have an EEPROM backup as I lost it in a computer reset, and my original retail 8gb softmodded hard drive provides the same error as my current HDD.

My XBOX isn't booting into dashboard anymore. It's softmodded, it's all plugged in properly, but once it gets past the bootup screen, it just goes to a black screen, no error code.
