Hey guys. i had the most stupidest of days 2day. Well i was up all last night tryna softmod my xbox (i had an xbox memory card connected to usb acting as AR and a female usb in controller) not important.
anyhoo i got it somewhere around 3 am and fell asleep feeling like a champ. i woke today and realised my screen was black and white. nuts i thought . i decided i may try to reinstall the mod, after uninstalling i couldnt reinstall...error...action...name or sumtin like that.
i searched the web and came to the conclusion that some of the initial install was still on the xbox. in one of the folders. in a rush, typically late for work, i searched the folders on my modded dashboard. in the E drive i noticed some cache files. thinking that was the prob i deleted them, the whole drive...this is where the stupidness kicks in.
the xbox gave a #13 error. whatever, went to work. came back to an error #16. more googling and decided the answer was to dload slayer and xboxhdm to reinstall. only prob is i have a laptop and cant access the ide...without breaking a second machine in one day!
is there another way?
i was thinking of buying a new xbox. i use it for dvds n stuff, plus came from malaysia with lotsa burned games. its kinda a necessity. in that case could i use the new xbox to bring this one back to life??? then sell it on or use it for sumtin cool like [insert hack idea here].
need ur help! thanks people. technology u made my enemies list!

thats problem of needing a PC and not a laptop as the IDE connections on laptops are a 2.5" IDE connector and the computers are a 3.5" IDE connector, hence the problem.
There is another fix where you can chip your xbox and fix the harddrive in the xbox using the AID disk. _________________
