WHAT DO I DO????? i hope i havnt fried my hard drive by playing too much... please help

Check the Drives Jumper, make sure its in CS (Cable Select) position. This can also happen if there is a loose connection on the IDE ribbon, or if the drive is physically failing.

Most of the times, the IDE cable is not properly connected when you see this error. Please reattach the ide cable.
Not only to the harddisk drive but also to the dvd drive. ALso try to reconnect the ide cable to the motherboard.
Press pretty hard so it goes all the way in. Make sure it is seated straight and proper in the drives and the motherboard.
If you still have an error 7. Try another ide cable. If that won't work try another harddisk. If there is still no go, try to
set the jumpers on the rearside of the harddisk drive. Set it to master or cable select. If still no succes,
good luck and sell your xbox to me

i have checked and the riddon wire is connected and the other wires are all connected...
hmm.....have you tried dropping it on the ground lately ?? that usually kills any noise.
or maybe your mouse inside the hard drive is getting tired too quickly and needs more cheese to spin the wheel that's connected to the fan.

IDE cable is the grey ribbon - about an inch and a half wide - connects your motherboard to your DVD drive and hard drive
ok that ribbon... got ya... ill chek it again... but when i try to start it with the lid off i can hear that sound comping from inside the hard drive... and its like off and on... if this makes any since if the sound was 1's and no sound is 2's it would be like... 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 haha pretty screwy explanation but hope it helps
any lights flash on the front of your box ?
yea the little ring light flashes green and red and then there is the mod chip light that is suppose to flash blue but it just stys on
i'm pretty sure your drive is fried.
