Ok, so I have a confession. I've never soft modded an xbox, just chips. Anyway, chips are getting hard to find and I'm trying a hotswap and keep running into an issue.
I'm using xboxhdm 2.2 and endure 3.1. I 'm possitive that I'm unlocking the hard drive and it is showing up in Linux and Xbrowser. All files copy over but I get an error 21 every time. I can't even get it back to stock using xboxhdm.
My stock files are coming from HEXEN but I'm starting to question if they aren't getting corrupted when I unpack the ISO and copy them to the USB stick.
any thoughts? I'm trying to think if I have any other relevant info. I await the expertise of folks like SNAAKE and Sharpfork

*Edit
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I don't get any errors on xboxhdm. Ndure was giving me a no-CD error until I edited the script and removed all the calls to the CD drive. I only have 1 IDE port so xboxhdm 1.9 is not an option. My next course of action is to put the HEXEN ISO on my usb stick and try and unpack it from inside Linux to see if that helps anything. The dashboard version doesn't really matter as long as it is stock, correct? I was almost certain I was on the latest dashboard before I attempted the softmod but that wouldn't change anything would it.
