Generally when you get error 13, the xbox can't read data from the HDD to boot the dashboard. HDD or adapter going bad. Sounds like you need to try a different IDE to SATA adapter. My Xbox gave me Error 13 earlier today and I took the IDE cable out from HDD all the way back to the motherboard and reinstalled it. It's working again, for now.
