Used Chimp, killed both HDDs
Posted: Sat May 03, 2014 6:35 pm
Greetings folks,
So, to keep a long story brief, I purchased a softmodded xbox a while back, but it only had a stock HDD. Until recently, I didn't have a spare, got a 160 GB Maxtor and set about cloning the data from one to the other. I followed the processes outlined in Chimp (specifically, this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f9DR55bvx8 )
After I'd finished, the HDD booted up fine on the first try, even got Fable TLC copied successfully, started to run it, worked fine. With a yell of glee, I fetched my discs, shut off the XBOX, went to reboot, and it only went and froze on the XBOX screen. A little puzzled, I restarted it, got the same result.
Booting it with a disc loaded seems to run the game, however it can't load up any dashboard. What's worse, this seems to have afflicted the initial HDD as well. I plugged in the original and as I type this, I simply see the XBOX screen without the Microsoft bit at the bottom. This means that I (obviously) cannot restore and start over. Is there any way I can fix this? Or will I need to start this whole process from the very beginning (assuming I can unlock and wipe the drive)
I've had a brief look around, mostly people who've had this have been told "lol illegal mods got wut u desrvd" or "wipe and start over", but seemingly no resources on this process. Anyone willing/able to help me out on this?
