This may be a stupid question, but what is the microsoft OP?

[omnedon]

That's the problem. The terminology makes no sense. Therefore, no one really knows what the real issue is. Could be a HDD. Could be an oddball Philips DVDrom firmware issue. Could be a motherbaord eeprom issue. If it's been tampered with, it could literally be *anything* including a collection of broken parts.

operateing system.

The OS then? More likely, the BIOS, which MS wouldn't have for download but...other...places just might! But yeah, need more info before something like this could be troubleshot (troubleshooted?).

It might need a new BIOS, but getting it on there will be a whole extra battle, and likely involve buying and installing a chip or such.

i would search a thing called evox slayer if I were you

Slayers won't do you any good unless you have a modded xbox.

And there is NO doing anything to any code without a chip in, and that includes reformatting the HDD, etc.
