The Hangout: This heat makes me want to kill. I'll sit on you all. Slowly. Seperately

It was working fine until I loaded xbhdm.

I only selected yes saying that the hard drive was master. Then it crashed...

I don't have any pc hdd's connected when using xbhdm.

I only had the one I wanted to format connected (as master) when I ran xbhdm.

Ah...Have you made the cd with your Xbox eeprom?

? so you had one HD connected?

okay, thats weird, it might be a xbhdm problem...

since all of your HDD's were working fine beforehand

[Inferno.]

Ah...Have you made the cd with your Xbox eeprom?

Yes.
Eeprom in linux/eeprom
and C and E in linux/e/c.
yep.
It went onto the screen where it says 'YES/NO' to device being master. I entered yes and hit enter

and I got

is that normal?

^ I hope that ain't normal. Cos I reset the computer on that screen.

I guess I've crippled the drive?

No. The only time I ran into problems with xbhdm, was when it prompted for a yes/no response. I kept putting "y", it would then hang, after putting "yes" it worked.

I'm off for my tea. I'll have more time to help later.

Okay.
I'm glad that something went wrong, then. But I think it's fucked my HDD...

Hopefully someone at Xbox-scene can help.

I'm not taking advice from Lee...

HD1: (Windows 80GB drive) Primary MASTER
HD2: (SATA) (No jumper setting...)
HD3: (80GB IDE) PRIMAY SLAVE

Make sure its set to combined mode, and try getting another cable and hooking up HD3 into the secondary channel. If you only have on channel, I'm not entirely sure what to tell you I'm not really all that great at helping people out over the internetz.

I believe the set up I have is.

first IDE slot: 16x dvd-rw, other end of the IDE cable has nothing in...
second IDE slot: 80GB HDD (windows drive) (master) nothing in the other end of the cable...

I think I got that the right way around. If not, does it matter?

[Panda Man]

Wait, I read the rest of the thread. Ok, so its fine in windoze but in linux it fubbars up? Donnu what to tell ya, I've never had more than 2 hdd's hooked up at one time.

The guy who replied is telling you the same thing I did. I assumed you knew it was a bootable cd because it tells you that in the tut.
