is my xbox dead

[laroc]

After reading various threads I managed to get ATAPWD working. I managed to get the xbox HDD to have these attributes

S E L F X V
+ - - - - -

Ater running xboxhdm and them checking ATAPWD settings were as above I pluged the HDD into the xbox nad when it boots up I get these error messages

boot up with no game ERROR 16
boot up with original game ERROR 5
boot up with slayer disc ERROR 16

if a hot swap is an option, I'm getting the big green X with audio sound, ( there is no MICROSOFT in white letters under the x)

I may also have a chance of getting another xbox unmodded if that would help

any advice would be welcome

If you used ATAPWD on the hard drive and it shows those attributes then You most of erased it .Did you have it moded and have the eeprom backed up if so you will have to build hard drive from scratch.
 Thats the reason for the errors when you puit it nothing on it not locked .
   Im just guessing what it might be but thats what im thinking

if you have your eeprom then try making a new harddrive from scratch with xboxhdm 1.9.

there are some tuts in the tutorial section on how to do this.

let us know what happens.
