cba.gy Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) Yes but you must still have some files for the installer to install. Im presuming your softmod comes with the xbox dash and the unleashx dash modded. If so your good to go. I see you copied the c drive files.

Californiadad Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Son-Of-A B.....nothing is going to be easy for me. I'm following this step-by-step http://www.techfreaks.org/articles/modxbox2.shtmlAnd im going good all the way untill I get to the lockingHD part. I type in the cmd to Lockhd -a, and it tells me abort. checking hd status.Not letting me lock the hard drive i guess.here are the specs of my HD 40GB Deskstar Model# IC35L040AVER07-0HD firmware ER40A44AHD Ser# SXPTXPV8366 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cba.gy Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) If you cant lock the hard drive then that drive is a no go for softmods. It is a requirement of the xbox dash, to which the softmod needs the xbox dash to be bootable. You could mess around for ages with online tools that claim to lock certain brands. Trust me ive tried quite a few. Pop the old one back in and when you can afford a new one treat yourself. If you want to get into emulators then probably a 160gb should be the minimum. Im presuming your a, shall we say, not a youngster now, so put your hand in your pocket and get a new one mate !

Californiadad Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Man that sucks. I remember looking at an online list of HD's and that one said it was lockable. Guess I'll have to try another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
