I got it working !!!
After getting pissed off with this BIT*H, I decided ( ) fu*k it, wipe it ALL out and start From scratch !!!.... so I pulled the drive and used the Lin*x boot disk in my computer, unlocked and wiped that puppy out......
After FUC*ING the drive out of its contents, I created a new xb*x HDD with xb*xhdd and relocked it (It's a good thing to have your orig. box backup) and put it back in and turned it on.
Now about this large HDD thing with the original setup because I booted a (more or less) virgin box with the MS dash and 200gig HDD and it acted like it was just out of the store, so I laid it to it to see if it will crash... I ran many games from the CD's to get game saves etc. to see if it was going to act up and it didn't. I even pulled the plug a few times and put it back in trying to crash it and nothing happend, now it's time to fix it..
I logged in to the HQ and got AID2.0 and the update patch 2.01 and patched the iso as the directions said and burned it to a CDRW..
Next I got the splinter exploit and FTP'd it to my other chipped box and put it on my memory card to run on this one.
(Call me nuts but I have seen alot of articles on FAKE or Bad copy's boxware, so I decided to do it all from scratch and redownload everything. I even wiped out the memory card just in case)
After the splinter took affect, I used the AID 2.01 CDRW and did a complete softmod from the disk, rebooted, took it for a test drive tried playing my backups again and everything works fine..
Dont't Know what the problem was but it works great now. !!!

Well I re-softmodded mine and re-did the hard drive and it is still doing the same thing. Oh by the way I think I forgot to mention that I can't copy music tracks to the hard drive anymore through the MS dashboard. It says there may not be enough space on the hard disk. Umm...what the freak? Its been doing that ever since I made the hard drive tho.

alright I have a theory. When I made the iso using xboxhdm, I burned it to a cd-r disc since my computer would be reading it and not my xbox. Since my softmodded xbox works fine copying any game with its stock hard drive, I figured it had to be a problem with xboxhdm. Could it be because I burned the iso to a cd-r instead of a cd-rw or dvd-r?

I doubt it. It could be the media itself (meaning a cheap cdr vs a not so cheap cdr). Also, as I have said before in other threads, be sure you are using the most recent version of DVD2Xbox to eliminate most issues. The one from Slayers is so old, it farts dust. I have no idea why I went there with that, but I still feel that way none the less.
I have read " I burned it to a cd-r disc since my computer would be reading it and not my xbox." a few times and I still don't understand what it means. Can you elaborate a bit? _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

Like they say to burn all media for XBOX's to cd-rw discs or to dvd-r discs. The XBOX will not read cd-r's but a computer will. So instead of burning it to a more expensive cd-rw disc, I just used a cd-r disc to burn the xboxhdm iso. And they aren't cheap they are made by fuji, but that could be the only thing I could think of since my stock hard drive works fine with those games, which means my softmodding is fine and dvd2xbox is fine. Its got to have something to do with the hard drive upgrade procedure.

I'm curious about this myself, since I seem to have a similar problem. I used HDDLoader to install three games; the SegaGT2002/JSRF demo, Halo2, and Tenchu. The only game that works is, ironically ehough, the only game that isn't Live-enabled (the Sega demo disc). I'd love to know if there's a fix to this somewhere...
alright guys I decided to try something drastic. I deleted my gamesaves and started all over. I created new profiles on halo 2, and they save fine now. I suppose that when using my method of burning the iso to a cd-r it doesn't really like transferring gamesaves over the disc. but what was funny is I had a gamesave from action replay for halo 1 on my hard drive. It was a save that put you on the last level on legendary. Well I figured if I couldn't load up and save my other gamesaves which were too far from the end for me to complete, I'll just load up this one and beat it that way. well after I beat it, all my gamesaves dissappeared. That tells me that they were corrupted. So I fixed the gamesave issue. However, I still cannot copy poker or nascar so if anyone has any suggesstions on that still I'm open to suggesstions.
