Hi guys,

As many of you are quite aware, I mainly concern myself with the Xbox side of things. I have a background in Electronics, Consoles, Mobile Phone reverse engineering and am a Network Engineer by trade.

Below you will find my 'Xbox Troubleshooter' which can also be found by clicking on my signature found underneath all my posts.

The Troubleshooter is aimed at helping members find the problem that directly relates to their own issue and hopefully use the corresponding answer to solve the problem.

I have a background in Xbox Softmodding and general hardware issues. I know VERY little about modchips and flashing them so please don't ask.

I would also ask that you thoroughly read through the Troubleshooter before posting either on the forum or here on my personal page.

I do not communicate via email, AIM, MSN Messenger, etc.

I am only too happy to help you through your issues, but I'd like to use them to better the Troubleshooter so others can find their solution quickly and painlessly.

My Troubleshooter and my tutorials are solely written by me (with credit given to certain parties where necessary) and are free to use for personal and private use. Any profiting from these freely available materials is strictly prohibited.

Feel free to enjoy what I can offer and your appreciation for said items will not go unnoticed.

Regards,

Chunkhead

  Hi Chuckhead.
  
  Reading all about your knowledge for the xbox soft mods and I have a little question.
  
  I burnt a new copy of xbox hdm v1.9 with the latest ms-dash in c.
  
  I can get to the option select screen - i do:
  
  1 noapic apm=off (for some reason without those the thing crashes and restarts)
  
  Then the odd following error appears half way down :
  
  hdb: Unknown partition table
  
  hdb: read_intr: status=0x59 {DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error}
  hdb: error = 0x01 {AddrMarkNotFound}, LBAsect=4609027, sector = 4609027
  
  and repeat the above 2 lines on and on and on and on then says I/O error dev 03:40 (hdb) sector 4609027
  
  The harddrive was taken out of a V1.0 xbox - I dont have the eeprom for the xbox backed up as this was my first time dealing with a softmod. I am unsure as to wether or not the xbox drive works, as I get error 16 with the drive in and everything plugged in normally instead of a dash.
  
  Please help me - do you think the drive is dead / or possibly i unlocked it incorrectly or would this not happen for that case?
  
  I better mention that I had the harddrive on secondary ide and cd on primary - but it shouldnt make a difference surely especially when both were detected in bios.
  
  Please help and many thanks in advance.
  
  (I dont know if you can reply directly to this message - if you cannot please -email me at armcompservices@yahoo.co.uk)
  
  Thanks so much I have been searching everywhere for answers,
  
  Andy

  Hey i have a problem and have not been able to find a solution on here. Could you possibly help me out?
  
  I have a softmodded xbox and the kids did something to the ms dash and it would only load the evox dash through splinter cell and loading the linux checkpoint. Now it wont boot up at all. I turn the xbox on and it gives me the 16 error. what can i do to fix this?
