Basically it comes down to this. Error 16 has to do with not finding the menu setting with which you can set the clock of the hdd. This happens to a lot of people that erase their hdd (original/upgraded) or MS dashboard files and after that they don't immediatly install the hdd but leave the xbox without power longer than 5 hours.
It's all about the hdd can't find the menu with which it can set the clock. This is mostly because the xbox hdd is empty (you removed dashboard or fux0red it via ftp). The problem arises when xbox searches for menu to set clock with, can't find it and voila: error 16. Well read on please!
So you have an error 16 huh? Don't worry "nothing" is broken!
You have an xbox hdd that is locked. And normally you can boot in original and modded mode. Retail or upgraded doesn't matter. You start playing around with xboxdash.xbe etc. using ftp programs. While doing this you "accidently" remove your MS dashboard and also your alternate dashboard (Evox, etc.) so there is no dash anymore on the xbox hdd.
YOUR SOLUTION IS:
Use your Chip Features to unlock drive.
Take xboxhdm_1.9 put retail MS Dash files build a disc.
use your pc, and put that hdd to primary master IDE 1, on the pc
with no other hdd's plugged in, and boot linux CD and make it build
an xbox hdd from scratch, after put it in your xbox again, lock it and it
will boot to MS dashboard to set your Clock, once that's done, you should
be fine.
in the Linux Disc options will be something like this.
-main menu, choose option 1 or 2, then type "xboxhd"
-the next menu, you'll get 8 choices, this is where you choose
to rebuild partitionC
Simple enough, can't figure it out, look in tutorials for more info on "xboxhdm_1.9"
Thanks for the reply.
Just a reminder that this is a virgin HDD. Currently my only problem is getting the AID2 to boot. I will try DVD-R media and hopefully that will resolve the issue. I have tried all other media types and had no luck.
Again, thanks for that reply and I will use it as a last resort. Mind you I am not too sure how to do some of that stuff you've mentioned, but will let you know how things go first.
Thanks

doesn`t the latest UnleashX have a work around for the clock?
I saw it pop up yesterday making me set the clock the moment the dash booted.
couldn`t a simple boot disc of this dashboard fix the problem?
