when you used xboxhdm, it's possible you made a bad burn.  i think that could cause a freeze. another problem could be that you're not hotswapping right, a locked drive could cause a lot of problems. there's also a thread in xbe exploits called "xboxhdm for dummies" with a lot of good info into that program.

you should really read daddyj's hotswapping tutorial regardless of what you use to edit the drive, it has a ton of tips and tricks for getting it to work. other than that i'm not really sure...
