    I was trying to fix what I previously screwed up on my Xbox orignal with a slayer disc (2.6 auto evox installer), when after several attempts at reinstalling evox, saw no improvement in my dash. It just showed the same evox dash I had before, not the one in the screenie that came with it . So , I thought maybe it was because my hard drive was locked. I unlocked it, tried again and rebooted. I got an error message with the number 5 in the top left corner. With a message telling me to service my xbox in several langauges.

    Basically, I locked my HDD and need to unlock it, but cannot access anything on my xbox, not even an FTP. If I open my xbox, is there maybe a switch on the HDD to fix this? :D

    Are there any requirements for the new HDD? Like if i get rid of a comp could I just take the HDD out of that and put it in my xbox. Also could i use the slayer disc then too install evox?
