Is there an error code number on the screen? Does it do this with the modchip on, off, or both? Is the HDD locked or unlocked? _________________ The World's Most Awesome Xbox 360 Room

make sure your harddrive jumper is set to cable select ,
if your xenium screen doesnt come up , try pressing the white button right after you power on the xbox , if that doesnt work that means your chip is not hooked up , that happens a lot with a solderless adapter , if thats what you are using then retighten it ,
if you soldered it check all you soldered points ,
then make sure that you have hacked bios flashed on your xenium , and you are booting from it ,
make sure you know what partition the bios boot the dash from :
example
c:\evoxdash.xbe or f:\evoxdash.xbe
if you preinstalled the harddrive with a dash make sure what the bios you have is looking for when it boots and what the name of the dash.xbe is on the harddrive ...example
if your bios is looking for c:\evoxdash.xbe and you have c:\evox.xbe its not gonna work
if your bios is looking for c:\avalaunch.xbe and you have c:\avadash.xbe its not gonna work either
get the point?
now after you get your chip to work again and you still having problems just use one of the autoinstallers aka slayers 2.6 , xbox-hq 1.3 ,firefuckers 1.1 there are many more out there pick one ,
now remember if you have bios booting from C:\ you have to install evox in c:\ same if you have bios booting from f:\ then install evox in f:\ or any other dash that you prefer ,
allright , that pretty much it ,
follow the instructions and u will be fine ,
later

If your error number is 06 you are in the same boat as me. Did you lock the HD to that other mobo?? If so you now have a 120GB paperweight.
Once you lock a HD to a mobo the info is stored in the eeprom. If you backed up your last eeprom, you can probably get it unlocked.
I wasn't even thinking...I did a mod for someone and figured before I loaded up his HD I would load up a new 120GB Hd that I got. Then, I was just going to pop it in a 1.0/1.1 xbox that I was piecing together so I had something to game on.
Low and behold, I am getting error code 06 and I can't believe I pulled such a bonehead move. I am hoping he is comfortable enough with just hooking up my HD and unlocking for me through the Xenium Ice OS. If so, I am going to send him my HD and have him unlock for me.
Does anyone else know of a way to get around this??

Without an error code, I am not certain where to start..
I am assuming you have a Xenium Ice modchip already installed correct??
Do you have any LED's lighting up no the Xenium modchip? _________________ Good Deals: Death@Hand, funkydopenloven, StaticMind, Slamscaper, PorscheXboxter

Oh, the dreaded HDD is unlocked error. You have tried locking it with the XeniumOS, haven't you? If not, do that if you can. If you are unable to lock it, it sounds like you're in the same boat as a number of other people.
Will it not boot with the chip on or off? _________________ The World's Most Awesome Xbox 360 Room

IS the Chips LED turning on?? Please turn your xbox on and look to see if LED is lighting up...
What color did it used to light up to when you booted with modchip disabled. What color lit up when you booted to evox.

hey man , why dont you quit bitching and read ,
you get the error because your chip is not hooked up right ,
because your xenium is not hooked up right , your xbox boots the oryginal bios , thats why you get the error messege
its simple shit , fix your chip connection first

I know sometimes it's tough to not yell at people...but we try to keep our cool here unlike a few other forums....if you don't have the patience for noobs who ask the same question over and over again...just move on to another topic instead of brow beating someone...
Trust me...you don't know how many times I want to scream at people who just don't friggin read...but, we try to give everyone here the same respect we would want if they don't understand something.
Hell, there are times people ask the exact same question that is posted and answered two or three posts down from the one they just submitted
ftrojan2411, most likely your chip got bumped or something. When we ask you a question don't answer it with another question bud....try to help us help you.
bobrownik and a few of us others have given you some things to check out and try, and you haven't commented on any of our fixes yet. How are we supposed to know what you did or didn't do yet. So, check your chip. If it's not seated properly...you will not get the Xenium Ice OS menu...it's as simple as that.
Now, if you can't get your chip set then there's not much we can do for you. You must get your chip fixed before we can go any further with the Autoinstaller info.
Keep us posted and let us know where you are at.
later man

I just need to get rid of that error code. As forthe chip i've tried to reinstall it like a hundred times with no luck at the xenium screen popping up. Thanks for the help and to the people that tell me to quit bitchin it's not like i havent read anything or been to like twenty different sites trying to figure this out, i just figured it would be better to talk to people that know what their doing.

Your HDD is NOT locked. If you CAN lock it, this error message should go away once you DO lock it!

I don't know about the Xenium Ice, but on the Xecuter 2 & 3, red means the chip is off. If it happens to be the same for XI, then your chip is off. The other posts suggest the chip is not install properly. Is it a solderless install? One of my Xboxs has a solderless install and it sometimes (rarely lately... must've have got it tightened down good!) becomes misaligned. The first step in this dilemma is to make sure the chip is working properly!

Maybe you need to try 101 times?
OK, in order to further educate myself, I just downloaded and skimmed through the XeniumOS 2.0 user manual. If I understand it correctly, you can change what the LEDs mean... did you do this?
Also, did you use the "Instant Boot" option? If so, you press power button to boot the BIOS you chose, but you press the eject button to boot XeniumOS... have you tried booting with the eject button? If you have and XeniumOS doesn't boot, then it sounds like a chip install problem... the chip isn't being recognized.
The next step. Once you get Xenium chip squared away, you should try locking the HDD to get rid of that pesky error 05. Choose "Disk Tools" from the XeniumOS main menu. The top item on the list should say "Lock Hard Drive" (since you're getting error 5 - unlocked HDD). The manual doesn't specifically say, but I assume you'd select this item and it would (try to) lock the HDD. It sounds like this option is not working for everyone, however.

I know how you feel. Also, I'd like to see Xbox-HQ be a place where you can get an answer in a few minutes, rather than spending an hour or two or three or more searching and reading. There really isn't one definitive source that you can always rely on for the correct answer. It's frustrating when you read two different sites that seemingly give very different answers to the same question.
Just remember we're all human and we all have different tolerances/strengths/weaknesses. Bobrownik's strength is his knowledge and his weakness is an apparent low frustration threshold. My weakness is my knowledge and my strength is a high frustration threshold. I have to have a high frustration point... I HAVE THREE KIDS!!!! But, I too have a breaking point. TeamXecuter was the last place that mine broke... with any problem, their solution is the same: 1) get the most recent BIOS, 2) RTFM!!! (there is NO FM!), 3) you screwed up the install, and 4) if none of the first three work, you must be an idiot! _________________ The World's Most Awesome Xbox 360 Room

Basically what is happening is your chip has powre but you are booting to the MS Dashboard. And, the reason you can't load the MS Dashboard is because the HD is not locked..which right now is a good thing.
At least you aren't getting error code 06 which would mean your HD was locked to another motherboard, hence you would now have a 120GB paperweight. The same has happened to me recently.
Did you try putting or other HD in to see if you end up with the same problem?
If worst comes to worse, you could always try to flip the recovery switch on the Xenium Ice chip and upgrade your OS to 2.0.1
If you are confident that it isn't your chip placement/alignment then at least give the other HD a shot to help in the troubleshooting. If you put in the old HD and your system boots normal, you can narrow it down a little. If your system give you an error code 05 with the old HD too, then you know it has to be something with the chip and maybe the recovery is the only way to go.
Right now it's all just speculation, but until you swap HD's again.....we won't know for sure.
keep us posted
