[Solved] Chimp directory help

[Jerry98vert]

Thanks for responding its so discouraging that everybody else can use Chimp and for me it doesn't work. For XBMC it is set to wide screen and nothing else is checked like 480i or 720 and 1070i it's all greyed out I have hooked up the Xbox component using the original Xbox component device. For the hard drive I bought it on EBay, do I need to do something to the hard drive before I try Chimp?


Thanks

Make sure that the jumper is set to the slave position. That's it. Badda bing. Hotswap the DVD-drive and new HDD after you have started XBMC, but before you start chimp.

Jerry, I have one more idea that may work for you. Get yourself a DVD-R. If you have a DVD burner on your PC or know someone who does, great. Download imgburn or Alcohol 120%. Download a copy of Slayer's 2.98. Burn the Slayer's iso file to your DVD-R using imgburn. Burn at the slowest speed possible. Pop into your xbox DVD drive and turn on. Follow instructions onscreen where it says HDD upgrade.

Ok so I got Slayers Evox AutoInstaller on my screen from the DVD disk of course I would need to see "A HOW TO" I do see #7 Clone Softmodded Xbox HDD.

1. do I need to copy this DVD ISO file to the current hard drive
2. or can I do this with the DVD in the DVD drive
3. if I can leave the DVD in the drive then of course do I do #7 first or is there a how to link.

Once again thanks for your time walking me thru this.

Actually, from here, make a topic requesting help from Idotsfan. He frequents this board, so you might also send him a PM. I believe that once it loads, you're golden. When it loads, hotswap the new HDD in the place of the DVD drive. Worst thing that will happen is that the program stalls when it attempts to perform the scan of the devices. Remember to follow my advice step by step once it loads. Good luck buddy. We're almost there...

The "links" above dont work for me...theres no down load button......im having the same problem.

[mrmajikbus45]

Link reuploaded. Perhaps someone with a file hosting account could give this a permanent home?

I did get the downlaod, but let me know if you have solved this problem I can't seem to get my new HDD to clone. I am ready to take it to a gaming repair shop and bite the bullit on the cost.

You may want to try using XboxHDM, http://youtu.be/XlF8UDedjYc?t=7m9s great tutorial on how to clone your drive with it

[Jerry98vert]

It's alive!!!!!It's alive!!!! It finally worked......Well sort of, first I was successful on cloning the HDD and this is what I did. I changed the Xbox output wires from component to RCA and then I used slayers App and ran Chimp from Slayers App and was able to see the screen to do the Chimp cloning menu and it worked perfect but.........

Now I see F: unavailable so now I need help so the F: drive sees the new 250gig HDD, I hope Mrmajikbus45 can continue to be very nice and help with, what I hope, the last step.

Jerry, load up your Slayer's disc. Go to option 9 (System Settings). Scroll all the way down to Use F Drive. Press A. Select Yes. Go to Save and Exit. Go to option 10. Do a FULL reboot. You're welcome, check your HDD space now.

Just a qucik question I still have slayers in the Xbox should I still use the DVD disk or can I use Slayer in the Xbox's hard drive, does it matter?

Thanks again.

[mrmajikbus45]

Either way works.

[Jerry98vert]

Well I went to #9 and of course F was set to yes to use I rechecked and full reboot and still F unavailable so I still fail.

Any ideas thanks again!!!

[mrmajikbus45]

Does F show when you FTP? Sometimes the xbox likes a file in it to detect it.

[Jerry98vert]

Nope didn't work F shows 0 bytes I think it needs to be formatted somehow.

[mrmajikbus45]

You can use Xbpartitioner, google that.

Place folder into your E:\Apps folder after extracting via FTP. Restart your Xbox, and run it.

Hover over the first item in the second box and press white. Enjoy!

WOW, that did it you the man (or woman no offense) so everyone knows the program came up and showed only 120gb I saw help you can increase by L button but I couldn't get the 250gb I had, so I played around with buttons and hitting B the numbers started to change I got it to 225gb and hit start and (I was scared) but it did it.

mrmajikbus45 thanks for taking your time helping me for like 3 weeks now but all is good it is finally done WOW again!

[mrmajikbus45]

Wonderful. We finally got it! It does say "mr" in my name, so you assumed correctly about me being a man. lol Please edit your initial post to include [Solved] in the title so that the next person who may have this issue will know where to look to get an answer. Enjoy your new larger HDD my friend, and I hope to see you floating about the forum from time to time.
