This one allows you to upgrade your HD in place.
The difference between this and ldot's xboxhdm is that his run on PC, mine run on Xbox.
Mine is designed for people who are :
1. extremely rich and runs Mac
2. extremely poor who doesn't have a burner nor a PC(I am using a 5 years old notebook)
3. extremely lazy
Now people said that hotswap/hotplug may have the remote possibility of damaging your IDE device as it is not designed for such activities so if you are paranoid and do have a PC, play safe and use xboxhdm.
EDIT: thanks for ipodder2003 for hosting the file, the package can also be found here

Full Version: Yet Another Xbox Hd Tools
I haven't actually tried this yet, but assuming it works as stated, all I can say is that is cool shit, good job chimpanzee!
It works on my 1.1 Xbox though I can't say for sure if there are bugs that I have missed(hopefully not as I have tested it in a number of 'dry run' scenario) :-)
BTW, you can try out the cloning even you don't do the swap. It just dump the data from the HD to a black hole, no harm done. Of course, you cannot do the lock/unlock as I hardcoded it to only do it for the secondary harddisk though if you know linux script, you can make modication to it and try that on the master HD.

Just popped in after weeks of absence...
Nice job on these packages (linux UDE installer and HD tool). Just had a look at the scripts and tools included. Development is good, but a little credit would have been nice

Another difference : Your tool is purely a HDD upgrade tool. Since you use the 2.6 kernel you cannot access the fatx filesystem. Xboxhdm can also be used as a rescue disc.
Nice job on the xpad driver and linux loader. I'd like to make use of those in the future.

ah, sorry.
Since I seldom care about credit, I didn't pay too much attention to that either :-P
Actually, I hope that you and a number of other authors who have created those executables/xbes would include some copyright material into the source so at least people running it would notice that.
I have no intention to take credit, just lazy.
As for rescue, it is basically self explained as if I cannot boot up Xbox, there is no way I can run anything on it :-)
Better to get your files hosted at the "usual places"
As "geocities" has shut down your site, due to too much
users accessing the files, going over their allowed fixed
"bandwidth" for a general free web site.
But the utility does like very good.

geocities is my last resort as freewebs.com doesn't allows me to up load file > 750K and usual place are not too keen on hosting my stuff too, after all, I ain't one of those fame characters like ldots :-)
i want to bump this because of this well thought out tool , wish i could have done it!
my parents won't let me take apart the computer, so i can't use xboxhdm. and i fucked up one of my xbox, cause i'm stuck in a clock loop, so if i could use xboxhdm on my xbox, that would be great! This is a good step to making xbox HDD recovery, cloning, and modifying self contained! Good job!

I was in the same boat as you which was why I made these tools. The only difference is that I have well passed the age of parental control, and that I am only poor and don't have a PC :-)
are you planning to make this tool for Splinter Cell and 007: AUF?
no, I have no space to host it.
However, making one for yourself is pretty easy. Just get the 007/SC game save from somewhere else and copy over my files and it is done.
My programs don't care where you launch it from, it can be any game save or even just from Evox, or on a DVD.

Apologies if this is an obvious question but it is late and im extremely tired!
If my xbox is already softmodded with ltools mechassault and I wish to upgrade the hd, do I :-
Put the second tool from your page on a memory card, set up the two hard drives with power and run the gamesave from memory card and follow the menu/instructions?
I guess what im asking is, do I need your UDE installer or can I run the hdclone with an already installed softmod?!
Thanks anyway as the idea behind it is great!

Gamesave exploits must be run from the HDD (copy the gamesave to your harddrive first). You cannot launch apps from a memory card.
As for installing the softmod on the new HDD, well you can just copy the UDE files from one HDD to another, so you don't need to use his UDE installer, but if cloning it doesn't work, then go ahead and just try his UDE installer.

since you already softmod your box, you just need to ftp the essential files in my hdtools zip file to Xbox and launch it from say EVOX. No need of the installer or a memory card. The memory card is just a way to get the file onto your box.
Treat both of my tools as "Xbox applications" which can be launched from one of the following :
1. game save(put them in the directory of the game save of your choice)
2. E:\apps\whatever
3. DVD
I only package for MechAssault because that is what I have and the most popular, IMO.
Thanks for the quick reply.
What im saying is that the new hd wont have anything on it.
The "new" or "chimps" mechassault save is put on xbox hd, both hd's are then plugged in and the hack run from mechassault. This will be the new hack which will then let me clone the origional hd that has ltools UDE on, over to the new larger hd?
Does that make sense?!

my installer is for linux only and most people will find it 'useless' thought ;-)
The only thing that my installer has which ldots' doesn't(he did it for safety sake) is the game region change option. You can switch the game region from one of the menu option.
Chimp, you obviously were replying as I was writing. Thanks again and for having patience with what is obviously an easy question for you guys!

well, just just run my "apps" or "hacks" depending on how you launch it and follow the simple instructions which will copy everything of your existing HD to the new one. Then just lock the new one, again follow the menu. After that, exchange the HD, put the old one in a locked safe and you are done.
Your new HD can be one straight from a sealed bag, no need to do anything to it on a PC or whatever. That is the whole idea behind the tools, make it simple and easy to upgrade, anyone knows how to open the box should be able to do it by just from the menu.
oh man, i can't wait for the day when xboxhdm is actualy ON THE XBOX!! it's so close i can taste it. mmm... silicon.
Sounds great, thanks to all you guys for your continued development.
Ok, I thought I was going crazy last night!
It seems that both of your files are the UDE install Chimpanzee. Can you put up the hdclone zip as I really want to have a go with it.

will this work on / lock a 1.6 box?
yes. You may not be able to do it in front of the TV though.

wait, what does that mean? I tried it on my 1.6 and the screen just went fuzzy and garbled and the eject LED turned orange. How would you use the program on a 1.6?
Sorry guys, my crappy hosting is out again; I apologize to you all. I'll see what I can do to get it hosted again.

telnet into it, the linux display driver still has problem with 1.6
What about the video display drivers from GENTOOX, don't they work on v1.6
This would be the best tool, once v1.6 video works, as it would remove the need of any PC, as what is the point if I need to TELNET from a PC. Is there an TELNET app for an XBOX, so I can use a second XBOX running the APP?
Hmm, just random thoughts.
Are you sure the "LOCKING" part works on the v1.6 with your package, I know the first XBOXHDM had problems until the most recent version v1.9
And another question, is it safe to LOCK the new drive while running your package with the old XBOX original hard drive still plugged in.

telnet-ing doesn't require any special program. just open up a DOS command prompt. Just go to "Start", then "Run", then type in "cmd.exe".
Now, type in (without the quotes), "Telnet (your xbox's IP address)"
The menu should be the same if you used the program from the xbox, so the process should be the same. Correct me if i'm wrong, chimp.

I know you don't need any program to TELNET on a PC. I remember the days before the WEB when almost the whole INTERNET was TELNET sites.
What I was wondering if I DIDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO A PC, if I could use an APP on a SECOND XBOX to do the TELNETing.
I guess if the SECOND XBOX had LINUX installed I could use it instead of the PC.
The best way will be to get the VIDEO DISPLAY working on the v1.6 thru LINUX,
then we would be all set with one of the best new tools.

Geez, sorry. I guess if the other xbox has a Linux distro on it you could.

I have no idea what gentoox used for 1.6, I only use the latest kernel patch from xbox-linux. I have no idea why it still doesn't work even though they said it should be find on standard composite box.
While telnet from a PC seems to be making the whole thing ridiculous, I am one who only use notebook so xboxhdm is still of no use to me but telnet is easy.
As for locking, yes I have waited till ldots fix the new 1.6 EEPROM decrypt so the locking should work(I don't have a 1.6 to test but the coding is there).
And yes, it is safe to lock the new drive while the old one is in, the whole tools was for my own use to upgrade my own HD.

Avalaunch has a built in telnet client I believe.
I'd be willing to host for a few gigs or so, PM me if you guys need
I'ma try this tomorrow, as xboxhdm is failing me ... still can't lock this 1.6 the correct way

xboxhdm 1.9 should lock 1.6 Xbox correctly or you may fail with my tools as well as the same program/codes are used.
What kind of error you get when you used xboxhdm to lock it ?
it can't find the eeprom to auto-generate the lock code.
you need your eeprom.bin file (backup from evox) to have an eeprom that this tool (or xboxhdm) can find to lock ur hd 
Yeah, it's on the HDM 1.9 cd in the /EEPROM folder ... but all the files are in caps, I'm wondering if I should try it in lower-case -- maybe that's the reason it can't be found
hi, this is a stupid question. can i use this cd to fix my HDD that i fucked up with EEPROMER? its a 1.6 xbox, that boots to a error 06 off the stock kernel if so how?
thanks.
thanks.
bump easiest way to clone hd
how come when it asks for partition, it doesn't show F as an option?
Because it doesn't see one.
Note because of the incompability among various partition schemes between linux and hacked BIOS(unfortunate but have to cope with), I can only use one scheme i.e. everything after E: is F: and > 137G is G:. Beside, both must be formatted to FATX.
Now if your original HD is not using this scheme, I would advice you just do a raw clone. The choice provided is really for those cases when one just want to dup C: and E:.

I was runing it through evox through latest bios. How can I change the x to do a raw clone? I tried all the buttons but when I hit A it just goes to okay.
The left joystick is the "space bar", press the center of it.
of course, you can always telnet into it and do it from your PC/MAC/notebook, the menu is exactly the same. login/password : root/xbox.

thanks. by doing the byte to byte clone, will it allow me to use the extra space or will it leave it as a sepearte partition? I'm upgrading from a 120gb to a 200gb. Thanks again.
This is no difference from ghost on PC. So if you have some partition scheme, it should work as the extra space would just be 'unused' as it is on PC. Just create a new partition on this extra space and it will become G:, H: or whatever.
Now don't expect to 'extend' existing one as there is no such thing for FATX. May be better to just backup the files and restore.

can someone please PM me chimp26.zip? All the links are down. Would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Me too! I can't find it either.
