    No, but you can try to fix it using a pc with a SATA adaptor.

    Has the warranty sticker been tampered with or did they use the heat and pull method when flashing the xbox?

    MS have started banning ppl with flashed drives, even the new fw's re being banned. Bans the console completely, so no setting up a new xbox live account. So i'd think twice about flashing!

    From Major Nelson :


    17/05/2007
    Xbox LIVE security

    As you can imagine, we have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to modded consoles connecting to LIVE.
    We're very serious about this, and if we detect you have a modded Xbox then you will not be able to connect to Xbox Live. If you see this screen and get Status Code: Z: 8015 - 190D…that means your console has been banned.

    We'll continue to enforce this rule to ensure the integrity of the service and protect our partners and use

    @that guy 901

    Not good news for you is it! ;)

    That could be the end of xbox live and modded xbox's unless an MS employee leaks how there checking if a console is modded or not

    Stay off Live for the next few days and turn off auto sign-in and wait it out for a few days.

    Things are going to be ugly!!

    No it doesn't. They have been collecting info for yonks and if your on their list regardless of whether you flash back to original your biox is banned. If you had been updating your firmware to the "stealth" versions you would be on live right now.
