Ok so my friend took the Western Digital 8GB out of his xbox, and he gave it to me. I want to use it as an extra slave for music, and no matter now i set the jumpers or which spot i set it on the ide cable it will not show up. I also tried it as a master and putting an OS on it, no go, still won't work.

Does anyone know why the HDD won't work ? does Microsoft do something to them to make them only function in an Xbox?


ok i have the enermax temp & fan controller for my 3 1/2 bay, and whenever i turn my fans up on my Vantec Nexus the alarm goes off on the evermax that the other fan speeds are dropping, even though i have NO fans connected to the enermax ctrl.

What could cause this? Only thing i could think of is they are on the same line from the PSU and when i increase voltage on one the other looses? I'm going to disassemble tomorrow or next week to check out the situation.


Last Q is about BF1942. When it opens and the 1st EA screen comes up the sounds is crackling like a mofo and its choppy, its like that all the way to the main menu. THEN when i join a server and it loads everything is smooth as skilk. Anyone know why?

I tried changing the sound settings to default, and then to support my hardware (in sig). but it didn't make a difference. And BF1942 is the only game it happens with.

oh and hes going to be putting some led's in his Xbox controller dongles, what kind of inverter will we need for the LED's ?
 
go to xbox-scene.com for the xbox crap

no idea about the fan, its probably because the power is dropping to the other outputs, you can probably disable it somehow

try updating your soundcard drivers
 
chances are that the hd is locked not + as to how you unlock it
 
Make sure the IDE cable isn't upside-down (easy mistake) and use some boot software to format it, Xbox drives have a wacky partition setup for different files and programs.
 
You have to unlock the hard drive, as stated previously, go to xbox-scene.com for info on this.

you have to get the unlock code from the xbox and then download a program to unlock the HDD with the code. everything is at the links that have been previously provided.
 
you don't need an inverter for the LEDs in a controller, you need a resistor. Do yourself a favor, and go read EVERYTHING on xbox-scene.com.
