Install CHIMP to E:/Apps, and place linuxboot.cfg into my E: drive I ordered it and attempted to configure it (using the original 40 wire IDE cable and no SATA to IDE adapter of course), and while I was able to launch CHIMP, it errors out part way through the process. I ordered another one, and it wouldn't work either, so I realized it was a compatibility issue.Īfter this, I decided to switch to a smaller, cheaper IDE drive ( this Maxtor Diamond Plus 9 hard drive) that a friend said he had gotten to work before. There was a spark (I didn't think to cover the connection), and since CHIMP would never load, I assumed I had fried the drive. When I first attempted to configure the drive, the exposed contacts from the back of the SATA to IDE adapter (where the power connects in) touched the back of the hard drive when I was hot swapping the IDE cable. Along with it, I got a SATA to IDE adapter, an 80-wire IDE cable, and the molex power splitter. Originally, I had gotten a 1TB SATA drive for my XBOX (WD10EZEX-22MFCAO, which seemed like a good choice, since many other WD10EZEX drives seemed to work for others in the hard drive compatibility chart). I currently have it softmodded with Rocky5's softmod. I've been battling with it for some time, so I decided to get some help. Hi all! I need some help with switching out the hard drive in my XBOX.
