Hey guys, decided to fire up my old xbox, and all I can find for it is the original hard drive.
So I decided to upgrade that, but all I have spare is some sata drives,
which I have managed to get working and move all the save data to it.
It boots in the xbox just fine but just to the plain ms dashboard.
I used Mechassault to softmod it originally but sadly the dvd drive refuses to read it.
I do have the eeprom backed up and i tried using xboxhdm with my sata-ide adapter. but my current pc has 1 ide port and refuses to boot from dvd when the sata-ide adapter is in.
What's my choices here? I'm more than a little out of the loop when it comes to the Xbox.
As far as I can see it I have 3 options:
Suffer with the 8gb HD,
Buy a replacement DVD,
or try to find a decent IDE drive somewhere
Any options would be appreciated.
