My better half left my X-box on over night and when I tried to play it I got a ERROR 7.I want to choke her. Everything that I have read pointed me to the hard drive. In order to replace the hard drive it would have to be moded because I didn't have any of the eprom info. I bought this off ebay with no manuals. I think I put the chip in correctly I can get to the main X-changer page and move thur them. I get a green,yellow,red on power up. I have not flashed the bios yet. I'm not sure what I need to do 1st? Do I have to install AID 3.0 or anything else before I flash the bios. I do not play x-box live or really want to install any game on my xbox. I just want to load the disk in the drive and play my games. I will save the games in progress. Does anyone have a step by step on getting my x-box to just play games. I have been online for over 5 hours trying to make scence of this. Thanks Caveman

I check the power supply and all voltages look good. All cables are tight. I can get to the to the flash bios screen. Just like the instructions tells you . I didn't load the bios. I wasn't sure if I needed to load something else 1st. As far as I can see the chip is installed the correct way because I can goto all the pages and my controller is working. I have a unformatted HD . should I flash the bois 1st or load a dash maybe I'm not asking my questions the correct way. Thanks

If I boot using the eject button and default bios I get the main x box screen and then a error 16. Hope this information helps Thanks

Error 16 means your xbox cannot find 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.
Solution: You may have corrupted dashboard files on your xbox hdd. Use the 'Auto Installer Deluxe 3' to reinstall your dashboard _________________

I've been trying to unzip the aid 3.0 and I keep getting a error. I unziped the the AID 3.0.1 without any problems . Do I need to run the xboxhdm to rebuild the hard drive. I put a new one in because my other would just click,click, and give me error 7. I put the correct bios on last night. I did this over the network. I think I should be ok if I can figure out what steps to rebuild the box .(hard Drive) Thanks I just want to play some games.

update your winrar if your having problems unziping, and you got a mod chip so you dont need xboxhdm to rebuild your harddrive, you can use AID. _________________

Ok I was able unzip aid and made a new iso. I put disk into xbox and reboot nothing happens. I just get the x-changer main window. I have a window that is the linux boot menu but I tried that and nothing happened either. I printed the instructions from the help text. I'm not sure what I'm missing. Should I be able to put the disk in and power up and it should run???? Should I get my friends xbox and make a copy of his hard drive??? Will that work ?? Thanks

Could the problem be that I put the iso on a dvd+r and not a dvd +r/rw thanks

You can try DVD RW, Did you use the iso updater program to add on the dummy file to the iso before burning it? _________________
