Error 07 HDD problem

[David88]

Hi Guys,
Have had Xbox modded for about a week with a xecuter 2.3b lite plus modchip running Evolutionx v3935. Last game played was gta3. Now when i turn on the xbox with the modchip off the led flashes red. Comes with error 07. When modchip on comes up with Harddrive error. I am unable to boot ms dash or evox dash. Is there anyway to fix this.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Is your hard drive the original one that came with your xbox or did you put a larger one in?

Well, infedelity and I both had this problem. Mine was pretty rescent though. Anyways, I turned on my xbox with the cathode flicked on, and my hdd wasn't booting. I then clicked the cathode off and rebooted, but for some reason the HDD still wasn't booting properly. I ended up removing the cathode and it worked just fine after that. I put it back in, but never have it on ever anymore...unless Im showing off.

David, do you hear the HDD spinning at all? Or feal it vibrating (very lightly).

Interesting, but Ive never had a prob. I have a cathode runnin and never had a prob with my hdd. But mainly the reason I asked is because I was concerned for my own system. I will be keepin an eye on it.

No, I have no lights in my xbox.
Is there any way to fix this problem?

Hard drive is dead. It is not vibrating or making any noises. It is the original Xbox Hard drive. I wish to upgrade now that it has died. I forgot to backup my xbox hard drive however my friend backed up his. Will I be able to use the data from that on my new Xbox Hard drive. Any help is most apppreciated.

Well, I would first suggest to unplug the HDD, then plug it back in again and try it.

If you are going to do an HDD upgrade, and cannot get a hold of the dashboard files, look for something called "slayers auto installer 2.5". It will partition your drive, and install the evox/MS dashboards for you.
