the original hard drive is still in the xbox... i dont know how to install configmagic... could you give me a once over... do i just install it on my pc or on the xbox hard drive? ... maybe i have to make myself more clear... i am guessing that you need your eeprom.bin to use configmagic right??? if so, then i am still fucked cause thats the file i been looking for. on my stock hard drive, the one that i softmodded.. in the backup\ms\ "nofuckingfile.bin" ... its just not there, what do i do??? i am getting no sleep

well i fixed that.. unleashx sucks, evox is better cause that eeprom.bin was nowhere to be found when i used unleashx... but there is a new problem... i formatted hard drive and put it in xbox and is working great, but!!! it claims that its only as big as my previous hard drive???? how do i fix it so it says 60 gigs free space!!!???

PLEASE HELP ME

CHEERS


@rxn155

goto settings in Evox. Make sure it say use F drive.

it definately does.. but speaking of that, when i was using xboxhd, it said something about the F drive and i said no... should i have said yes, i didnt install an F drive.. should i have?

i followed this tut

http://www.techfreaks.org/articles/modxbox2.shtml

@RETURN

currently my F drive is calculated to "0.00" so i guess i messed something up cause correct me if im wrong but this should have been where my extra disk space should be?

do you have Unleash dash?
if so, go to format option. FORMAT F DRIVE ONLY.

Hi Guys you can use Swapmanager to do the pc trick watch here :http://softhelp.cc/ssi/swapinfo1x.html.

Hi,

Just wanted to say thanks again for all the help. All is now well with my new HDD and softmod... i boot straight into evox and have edited the INI so it looks and acts the way I like! 8-)

One small note that may help some people. Make sure you chnge the read-only setting on the files that you are going to copy to C and E drives in your XBox (whatever they may be). It is such a pain to have to do this via FTP once you have them copied over.

Thanks again!

Cheers

hey return i know you daid that you cant hot swap if microsoft isnt visible below the big x but i tried anyway and was able to view what was on the hard drive.....being that i could view what was on the hard drive using Xplorer360beta4 will i be able to fix my xbox....i am not getting an error code just boots to serviec needed screen...thx......

yes you can try to hotswap it. If the xplorer360 can read the xbox's hdd, then you are able to fix your xbox.

Remember to download both ms dash and softmod files on my tut.

thx return....i downloaded ms dash and the files you named further up are there but some are a folder......xboxdash.xbe, Xbox.xtf, Xboxbook.xtf these files are in the xodash folder.....should they be there.....

Original MS dash has these:

FOLDERs:
Audio, Fonts, xboxdashdata, xodash

FILEs:
xboxdash.xbe, Xbox.xtf, Xboxbook.xtf


YOu can get ms dash from your friend's xbox too.

i have those files they are in the xboxdashdata folder tho.....should they be in or out of the folder......thx

Hmm... They are not the same.

I dont know why you have the in xboxdashdata folder. Insteresting!!!

Xbox.xtf and Xboxbook.xtf are in FONTs folder.

Xbox.xtf are Xboxbook.xtf are out side by themself.

BUT THEY ARE DIFFERENT IN SIZE.

The Return, thanks a million for indirectly helping me. Your suggestion of xplorer360 was the catalyst I needed to finally get an Xbox I purchased off Ebay months ago back to life. I had given up last December and for some reason decided to try my hand at it again. Coupled with Xboxhdm I was able to perform the necessary steps to get it working and revel in sweet success after many, many hours of dead ends and frustration. ;)

If I hadn't succeeded this time I surely would have abandoned the project as hopeless. Thanks again!

does this delete my saved games/albums/etc/?

well back them up to PC first. Then delete them. FTP them over xbox later.

If you cant get ms dash work, then try the softmod file 325MB.

but what if you dont want to take you xbox apart can you hook it up throught the network jack on the back?

Also Can you put music on you xbox by the networkjack w/o moddchip

Then you can't do hotswap.

network jack won't work.

hey return, i really need your help. So i let my friend try to softmod my xbox but he messed up and got me an error message 16. I let him try to fix it but it didn't work. I decided to try it my self with your tutorial but now when i hotswap it, Xplorer 360 doesn't want to open it. Also after i connect it to my computer, it shows me another error message, error message 21. I heard that you could just fix that by turning off your xbox but now he won't get past the screen with the big x and microsoft symbol. PLease can you help me?

So when you turn on your xbox, you see microsoft logo shows up. Then it hang, doesn't it?

So when you do hotswap, make sure you disconnect IDE cable right after microsoft logo shows up and before xbox hang.

If you dont see microsoft logo, you still can do the hotswap. Disconnect IDE cable just before xbox hang.
