i began to softmod my XBOX, everything going sweet, started to FTP all the files to my PC........ urrrrrrrrrrk, XBOX hdd crashes, to never return. Only got half the files off the HDD and that didnt include the eeprom.bin file.... so i cant install my new HDD...

Ive ordered a chip, but when that comes, can i just fit my new unlocked HDD into my XBOX and everything be sweet? Wont it need an eeprom.bin file? or is there anyway i can recover it?

Some advice would be great..
thanks

ry!

ahhh i thought that might be the case.

when i get the chip and the new HDD is installed, can i "build" a new or recover the old eeprom.bin file? In case i ever wanted to de-chip it?
