Can somebody confirm this pls...i beg of you! ,thanks for the quick reply there pal  ...well i have an evo-x disc here w/ configmagic on it, well i hope that when i turn on the my xbox it wont give any error code so i can unlock my hard drive...i really hope this would work...aaarghhh!!! |

BY DEFAULT, YOUR XBOX WILL LOAD OFF THE HDD AND HDD ALONE, WHEN THE CLOCK HAS RESET.
EVEN WITH A BOOT DISK IN THE DRIVE.... IF THE ENTERNAL CLOCK HAS RESET..... YOU'RE GOING TO GET AN ERROR 6. |
...hey tester in laymans' terms pls!:(...enternal clock???...never heard of it...i know its a dumb question!...how can i reset the enternal clock if its possible?... |

Have you ever unplugged your Xbox for an extended period of time? Then plugged it back in, turned it on and it takes you straight to the clock and date settings menu?
Well your enternal clock has reset, and the Xbox mobo's asking you to set it again. By default, it will boot from the HDD and HDD only.
The only way to get around this issue is to have another, unlocked HDD. You're going to have to buy one, or borrow one from a friend.
Maybe if you got a friend with a modded Xbox to unlock his drive and let you borrow it you'd be set.
Install your mobo, hook up your friends UN-LOCKED HDD to your IDE cable and power source. Then boot up your Xbox with your mod chip enabled, it will take you to a menu to set the time and date. Set the time a date, then put in your configmagic disk. Then immediately turn off your Xbox, hook up your locked HDD, and boot up. Form the configmagic screen you can then un-lock your HDD, and then lock it back. It will then "Marry" that HDD to the mother board.

That would work as long as it has been formatted specifically for the Xbox and has the MS dash.
It has to have the MS dash so you can set the clock.

i had this problem ages ago when i rebuilt a box from scrap(came with no hd) you will get loads of errors either error,6 error,7 error 21 or error 13 i think and and the infamous error 16 (cannont locate msdash) you should read the tutes on xbox scene.. it may take a while to get going ,but basically you need access to another box with a unlocked drive to make it easy on yourself . and get all the tools mentioned config magic for unlocking etc and the SlAyErs for everything else good luck..
