Hello people



I seem to have fooled myself into thinking that i have solved my problem with my version 1.6 crystal xbox, by buying ionicle's great xbox, because although i am very happy with my newly aquired xbox, i am still in thought's as to why i cannot get my crystal xbox back in working condition.

So i am posting some new question's that may help me try and solve the problems/error's with my crystal xbox.
without further adue

1 What is the actual file size of an eeprom file?

2 Can a chipped xbox be hooked up with my crystal xbox and pass file's over to lock/unlock the original drive?

3 Can config magic in chipped xbox, help the crystal xbox out in any way at all?

4 Would i gain any help if i installed config magic on my secondary pc, and lock/unlock original xbox hard drive with the eeprom?

5 Is there any other software available that will lock/unlock my original xbox drive?

6 Is it true all xbox motherboard's are married to the hard drive's?

7 Is it also true that all DVD ROM drive's are compatable with all version's of the xbox



Any help would be fantasic ??? :chef::chef::chef:

Also if anybody has read an article, regarding putting a version 1.1 xbox motherboard into a crystal 1.6 case, i would love to know where you came across the article, i was reading it myself the other night, and i thought i had book marked it, but cannot find it anywhere, it was interesting???

After answering your PM in regards to some of these questions Silver Sony, I can tell you that the eeprom.bin file for a v1.6 xbox should be 2048 bytes in size. I'm not sure about other versions of xbox's though, some of the first xbox's had a full MB flash rom that was divided up into 4 sections, but I think they were all the same size though, but I could be wrong. I found the v1.6 size by pulling some of my customers xboxhdm disks that I had made for them in case something ever happened and looking at their file sizes.

as far as i know, the hard drive's and dvd rom drives are all interchangeable....

thanks to .:MAG:.

well, the dvd drives are completely hassle free interchangeable. But the hard drives aren't exactly hassle free on the interchangeable part. Especially if your dealing with a softmod. You have to be able to unlock the drive before you can put it into a different xbox.

Hard drives are married to the eeprom...so unless the machine is modded,to move the hard drive from one machine to the other...you will have to move the eeprom with it for it do be usefull.

Hello Sadalius

Thank's for the very detailed answer to my querie's, but i want you to assess the following file's that i teransferred to my main pc, when i was able to ftp my crystal xbox to the pc, and i did copy over the E:/ folder when i click on this folder, i get back up, now when i click on back up, i am taken into a folder named eeprom, and then there are file's in the following order and their size's, i go back to the point is the post regarding eeprom sizes, and can straight away tell that there is a prob with my eeprom size, here are the detail's

bios.bin bin file 1,024 KB
disk.bin bin file 512KB
eeprom.bin bin file 1KB
hddkey.bin bin file 1KB
hddinfo.txt

Looking at the eeprom, make's me think there is an error, what do you people think ???

There is also another folder i created on my pc from my crystal xbox, when i click on that folder i am taken to a new window, where i have all the other info :
Cache, config magic,dvdregionfree, E, EVX, music, newbioses, oldbioses, skin's, TDATA, UDATA, xs evox.

Let me what you think Sadalius

Also have you any idea, how much it would cost for me to send my crystal xbox to you ???
