Am I missing something really simple here guys ?
Do I just put the eeprom files anywhere on the built drive then lock it ?

Hi guys thank you so much for your patience but I gave this another try but with no luck again :-( error 06 flashing red/ green lights when put back in softmodded box .
What I have done so far in case you can see where I went wrong
Softmodded my original xbox using splinter cell and got it booting to xbmc ages ago .
So I want to upgrade the hdd
Ftp in to it and find the eeprom file in backups folder and put that on laptop .
Took new hdd and put it in chipped box , formatted and installed softmod using HeXen , ftp the eeprom file across to the new formatted drive .
Run config magic and choose update eeprom ,
Lock hard drive
That's it .
I know I can use chimp to copy but I would like to do it this way if possible plus I don't really want to run the risk of breaking my stock hdd which still boots up fine in the softmod box :-)
Heeeeelp ....

In this tut http://www.biline.ca/xbox_uxe_hd2.htm it says about using the same version of config magic. Do you know if that is what you did?
it's worth a try :)

If it's a 1.6 Xbox you will need to use the last released version of Configmagic, (1.6) as the eeprom is in a different order on those version of Xbox.

So using configmagic v1.5 with an Xbox v1.6 eeprom won't work.
Download Xbox Softmodding Tool & Extras Disc
