Ldots, my man, can you please explain to me how to upgrade my hard drive using Xboxhdm, assuming i have backups of my hard drives on my pc. Also, do i need to backup my eeprom, and if so, then how?

If you have some kind of exploit running on your xbox upload ConfigMagic and run its backup option. This will dump the eeprom. Alternatively have a recent version of Evox do the same.

Prepare the xboxhdm CD as explained in the thread/tutorial, putting a working backup of C: in the xboxhdm/linux/C folder and optionally what you want in xboxhdm/linux/E. Also copy your eeprom to the package as xboxhdm/linux/eeprom/eeprom.bin

Run the make-iso-win.bat script and burn the iso.

Boot with your new HDD on Primary Master and once bootet type xboxhd and push enter.

Choose "Build HDD from scratch"

Then choose "Generate HDD password" and afterwards "Make DOS floppy with locking tools". Write down the generated password (triple check!) or copy it to the floppy :
CODE
mkdir /mnt/floppy
mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
cp hdkey.txt /mnt/floppy
umount /mnt/floppy


reboot using the DOS floppy and lock the HDD with the hdlock command. (triple check!)

In the near future the copying or writing down of the hdkey.txt file should not be nessecary smile.gif

It's possible - I think smile.gif but requires some work. Some time ago I did some reading on the ATA specs and pretty much know what to do. It will take some time though - something I dont have at the moment.
Seems that making a locking tool to work directly from linux will not work, but I think I would have to embed the locking/unlocking code in the linux-kernel. I hope to get the time to try this in the future, but dont expect a solution soon.

I thought hdtool in the cvs is supposed to be the one to do this lock/unlock things under linux ?

It is - and it might work on the xbox, but I have had no luck running it from xboxhdm, or any linux on the PC. Dont know why exactly but I have a feeling that once the linux kernel has accessed the HDD it will not accept the ATA security commands.

Has anyone locked/unlocked a HDD on a fully bootet linux system with hdtool ???

I read in the cvs log that the queue task file feature needs to be enabled in the ide driver. I am working on a custom xbox kernel to make the ide driver as a module and changing the linuxrc script to not loading it. After that, would need to buy a new 120G HD so I can test the process in place(hotswap out the DVD).

Hmm, cant seem to find anything about that in the CVS log. Can you point me in the right direction?

Could it be the CONFIG_IDE_TASK_IOCTL feature that is needed? I see that the ide-taskfile.c code has the ATA_SECURITY commands mentioned.

I saw it under the 2.6 kernel log :-)

Thanks. Xboxhdm is using the 2.4.25 kernel but there is no reason to believe this doesn't apply to that kernel also. It was the .config entry I listed in my previous post smile.gif
Will try and see if that makes a difference.

another n00bish question, this doesn't require linux to be running does it?

oh and, do i need compressed forms of c and e and the eeprom, or the actual files to be in the folder?

It's build on linux, but you dont have to have linux on your PC. The xboxhdm CD is a small linux OS in itself - a CD bootable linux.

Just add files as they are to the C,E and eeprom folder. No compressing.

It's just that earlier you said 'a working backup of c and e' so i wasn't sure if you meant a compressed form of it created by your ude installer or not. can i put the backup from your installer in the folder instead? does it matter which i use, for example could i use a backup of C and the eeprom but the actual e drive instead?

p.s does the media i burn the iso to matter, e.g speed and cdr type? and i just restart with the cd in the drive?

It will not work with a compressed image of C:

You can take the backup generated from the UDE installer but you must extract it before adding it to the xboxhdm/linux/C folder.
You can leave the E folder empty if you like, but if you add files here they cannot be compressed.
Finally the eeprom must be called eeprom.bin

so i can just ftp to the xbox and literally drag all of the c and e files to the corresponding folders in the linux folder and then burn it?
