Ok if you are trying to upgrade your HDD then what you want to do is download Chimp 2.4 or install it as an app from the AID disc then read this tutorial. This the easiest way to upgrade your HDD and the reason I asked what version you was because chimp doesnt work with V1.6.
Quote:
AID manual
Hard Drive Cloning using Chimp
Hardware Needed:
- Y Power splitter (or use an external power source for the second HD, like another PC or external disk box etc.)
- Torx 10, 15, 20 Screwdrivers to open Xbox and replace the HD
Software Needed:
- Chimp (installed as an app)
Steps:
1. Open the box with the Torx 20 Screwdriver.
2. Use the Y splitter so both Hard Drives would have power when Xbox is on.
3. Loosen the DVD's IDE, but must still be bootable (it minimize the remove chance of IDE damaging as it is really not designed for hotplugging).
4. Boot Xbox.
5. Launch chimp.
6. Swap the IDE cable from DVD to the new HD.
7. Follow the menu (the first item must be run before others).
Xbox 1.6 problems?
If you have a 1.6 box and you can't see the Linux prog (graphics). In that case, you need to telnet into it, the menu will be same.

it depends on the bios manufacturer. Refer to the manual for your bios/motherboard

in my PC bios it means to "disable" the drive. XBHDM will pick it up since it's running a linux system. So go into your bios and "disable" the drive so it doesn't show up. It'll work. _________________ "That which does not kill you, only makes you stronger."

i didnt find a "disable" in my BIOS i only found to disable the primary IDE connection and when i did linux didnt detect it.........it said to connect the HDD and reboot. so what can i do cuz i havent any experience with chimp and i find this way a lot easier cant i just lock the HDD with xbox hdm v1.9 on someone else's PC?

Yeah, you can do that, but you might run into the same problem. I HIGHLY recommend using Chimp, though. It's much faster and a lot easier. All you really need is a Y power cable splitter. _________________ "That which does not kill you, only makes you stronger."

Yeah it will work. All you have to do is open your pc and if you dont have an extra power connection open just unplug one of your rom drives and plug that in to your new hard drive and turn on your pc.

I had the same problem and found an easy work-around:
Using the xboxhdm bootable CD (not Chimp):
- Boot your PC all the way into the CD boot menu.
- Unplug the power connector from the HDD (NOT the IDE cable), then plug it back in.
- Select the kernel you want to boot, and try to lock the drive as before.
The problem (at least in my case) is that your BIOS sees the drive, configures it, and "freezes" it. By cycling the power, you're resetting the drive and letting it be discovered by linux in a fresh state.
Let us know if that helps.
