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?

My xbox (original) is softmodded. I can ftp blah blah blah. I went to sell it and thought if I deleted everything off of the one crucial drive, it would unsoftmod it. I don't remember what drive it is, i'll probably edit this later on after I figure out which 1 it is. (I did that like a year ago) Haven't touched in since, and decided like having a fun lil' project, and fix it. Any suggestions?

Random Info I remember

I'm pretty sure it was the one where the BIOS were stored and so were the games...i have to read some tuts to figure out which it is.

I want to keep it softmodded now.

I still have the evo x dash except instead of many options its just launch disc and settings.

I can still play burned games.

i can't seem to find and evo x ini file in my c drive nor my e drive.

if needed I can upload screenies of my c/e drives.
