Error 21

[dazzle]

I recently puchased an orginal xbox that was hard modded with a Smartxx chip.  It was working fine but now I am receiving and error 21 need customer service when I turn it on and the light is flashing red and green.  I am unable to load anything from the drive.  Is there a way to fix this?

Error 21 is usually a dashboard issue. I'd suggest downloading one of the boot discs from this site and using it to redo your HDD. What events led up to it failing? Did you edit any files?

Yeah, not much to worry about sine you have a mod chip in it, just just download one of Zzk bootable cds to fix you xbox Dashboard. Also explain how you just got this error, just like SatanX said

I've been getting a lot of chipped xboxes coming in lately. Lot's of X2's. some soldered, some solderless. I'm surprised at how unreliable a lot of these are. Aside from the lack of LCD support, softmods always work great for me. I just have an Xenium Gold around in case I need to pull an eeprom from a dead box.

Sorry I am very green at this.  I'm not sure what I did to cause the error 21.  I was using the xbox, I don't think a delete a file but I might have or I might have turn it off without shutting it down.  Can you tell me what file I should down load from the file section and what I should do with it.  I didn't see any videos explaining the process to fix error 21.
