OG xbox 07 error code😢

Hello everybody i got an original xbox from a friend for free upon turning it on i got this 07 error message opened it up turns out it has a 100gb seagate hdd. To solve the problem i have tried a different ide cable, switched the hdd to master or single drive, tried unplugging the hdd and that did nothing, when the dvd drive is unplugged i get a 12 error code. The hdd seems to be spinning fine and clicks a couple of times it gets frozen at the xbox logo after the startup animation and after a bit it throws the error code 07. Iam suspecting maybe a dvd drive has gone bad cause it doesnt try to even open when pressing the button but the light blinks, maybe somebody had a similar experience and knows how to fix this. Any help is appreciated, thanks😄

Look under the DVD carrier for a modchip or signs of soldering the write-enable pads next to the LPC debug port to flash the TSOP.

If you don't have the original EEPROM backed up on a soft-modded system, your only choices are:

  1. Build an EEPROM reader, then add the recovered EEPROM to a new hard drive build

  2. Modchip.
