ok sorry was away
just came back to change my hdd
ok basically what i did.....
i setup floppy with windows 98se bootable
when i tried the first time, it can't detect the drive
so when i tried open msinfo32
i notice that my scsi got no info, info only available in ide
so i change the hex value accordingly and when i connect the drive again when i tried to enter hddhackr -f it can detect the drive
then it prompt for flashing i click 'y'
then prompt for create undo bin i click 'y'
right after that, the error message comes up
*
i think the it's the formatting floppy with windows 98se. How did you format to that format?

Put your floppy in. right click in and choose format.

There is 2 small boxes. 1 is quick format and the other 1 boot with ms-dos smth like that. Tick that box and format.

You got to do hexing.

Using the hex workshop, clicking "Edit" then "Goto", typing 400 ( hex ) in the "Offset" field and choosing "Beginning of Drive" in the "From Where" section.

If you see all zero, then continue to the next step.

i see all zero, then i open the xplorer using hex workshop as well right?
then when i save and load xplorer again, nothing happen

i don't need to change anything when i open hex workshop on step 17 and 18?

ok ok...i managed to figure out and got the partition 3 appear, plug in onto the xbox dy, now software update....


Added on November 22, 2008, 12:50 pmok managed to complete it.....haha spent till 230am last nite figuring out the hexing part...

er bro mmx, on the hexing part right, we still need to enter those values in row 400 hex right? if not xplorer360 still won't recognise the partition 3

apart from that everything is alrite, i think i encounter a lot of problems, from the flashinb part up till the hexing part haha, but good fun...

Sorry I couldn't reply. I got class so I had to sleep early. Pure theory class for the next 6 hours, ya it's unbelievable if you don't sleep in class.

I'm also preparing for my exam. After my exam, I'll simplify the hexing part.

Any comment you want to make on the guide? ( like hard to understand this part, not simplify enough , etc )

can you guys Pm me your Mobo brand of sata and what OS you guys using? So that I can make a list of compatibility.

So doing this more worth it or getting a new 120gb hdd?

i think your guide is ok, but do add the part where it requires you to add in the hex part as mentioned in scene-xbox, i think that would ease the confusion. and about winhex, it's good coz i think the main reason the author put that is so that we can check whether we correctly hex the part to XTAF (as in 80000 hex)

no problem about the model, will update later coz not at home......but i think worth it, although i spent much more on a 250G HDD...kekeke
