you might also want to check the jumper settings on your hd. just make sure its master and not cable select. i kinda had the same problem one time but it was just the jumper settings.

Put your xboxhdm iso in pc and open to view files. Check eeprom folder and see what the size is. It should 256 bytes and if it's 0 bytes, that's the problem. _________________ XBOX V1.4

well if its locked and it wont unlock in your xbox, you probably got the wrong eeprom in it. _________________
