I’ve tried everything I can think of to fix the error 16 I’ve been having on my console for a few days now. Hotswapping and using XboxHDM 1.9/XboxHDM23USB (Rocky5’s Beta 3) to rebuild the C partition, even formatting it and building a new drive from scratch a couple times, but nothing’s worked. I even put the stock dash on the HDD’s C: drive hoping to get it to pull up the set clock screen but still no sucess. Any ideas? I’d rather not have to buy a modchip (cause who knows what clones will do to your console) but I will if it’s my only choice.
History (in case it helps): My Xbox is a 1.0 with a Thompson drive and it had an 8gb HDD. The HDD started having the “click of death” awhile ago (but sometimes works if left unmoved for a few months (unpowered) and then promptly breaks again if the power is cut), so I bought a 320gb Western Digital HDD (didn’t think to check if it was lockable until after I had it and I got lucky) and made a completely new HDD using XboxHDM 1.9 and some Ndure files. That worked and it booted into the softmodded dash. (This is where I learned of the Clock Capacitor and removed that.) After that, I had updated the softmod using Rocky5’s Softmodding tool HDD method (using his files to mount the ISO as a disc). I wanted to TSOP flash the console, but I ran out of blank discs (ordered more) and HeXEn always gave me the “Cannot read bios file” error if I loaded it from HDD. (I had also messed up the soldering point on the top (pulled a trace off the board by accident) so I use a pair of pointy tweesers to connect the points (I know that works because if I don’t it says “TSOP not writable!!”).) I had managed to get a whole bunch of games and programs on there, and then one morning it started giving me error 16 and I cannot get it to boot past it.
