i don't think people know what to do anymore lol
as far as i know, the slayer disks are for chipped xboxes. (hardmod) not for softmodding. i could be wrong, hope someone corrects me if im wrong, and hopefully give me some advise on what im doing wrong aswell.
do you know how to re-build your xboxhdd? sounds like thats the first thing u gotta do.
Thanks mate, my xbox is modchipped, and no i do not know how to rebuild my xboxhdd (yet...)

this is the way i rebuilt my xboxhdd back to it's original state.
i followed this forum and had great success!! there seems to be two ways to do it.
1. Hotswapping by hooking the xboxhdd up to your pc's secondary IDE cable and using xplorer360 to restore the hdd.
2. Hotswapping by hooking the xboxhdd up to your pc's primarary IDE cable and not using your pc's hdd at all. then booting your pc with the linux disc,and installing it on your xboxhdd.
the method i used was #2 because at the time i could'nt get xplorer360 to access my xboxhdd.
here is the forum for restoring your xboxhdd if you need to.
but you might be able to recover your mod or use some kind of auto-installer disc.

if you need my assistance i'm more than happy to give you what i can
since i recently softmodded my xbox by myself thanks to this forum!!

your dvd drive doesnt work or do you want to play dvds? Softmod doesnt mess with the dvd drive so if doesnt work it probably got diconnected. If you are saying you can't play dvd's then install xbox media center.

Hullo I'm new here.
I'm being given an Xbox and would like to mod it. However, all three of the PC's I have are 4 sata one IDE.
I don't know if this question has been asked, and I really don't want to trawl through 87 pages so I figured I would ask.
Can I boot windows from a sata drive and hotswap the xbox drive into my IDE channel?
I can't see this making any difference to using 2 ides but hey, I figured I would ask :)
Thanks !

Make sure your pc is paused. And make sure that the version of xplorer360 is recent. Or it will not respond.
I run on vista pro aswell didn't think it would work with that os but it does. This tut is the shit.
Oops. Sorry guys.. There's my answer..

after restoring my xbox to it's original state....i then softmodded as well with success but without any DVD playback.
i even went out and bought the DVD playback kit and when i try to play a dvd it says "your dvd playback kit supports the wrong region"
something of that matter.
and i know it reads dvds because it did before. and i can copy dvds onto my xbox hdd but thats a hassle and dont have the space for it on my 8gb hdd.
any suggestion as to how i can get my xbox to play dvds again??
ive tried multi-region settings and NTSC which is my region. i don't know what i'm missing or doing wrong.
thanks for any help.

Hey great tutorial, very helpful thanks, i just have one problem...
I have error 13 because i tried to change my dashboard from evox to unleashx but copied the wrong files to C:\ ...
I think i managed to get the hotswapping part right as it shows up partitions 0,1,2,3,4,5 when i load it on xplorer360 BUT, when i go to delete anything or copy anything onto the HD it freezes up and stops working.. i can copy files from the HD but not too it, which really sucks because i need to copy over the correct dashboard files and put them in C:\ on the xbox HD
Can anybody help me with my problem please, i want to get my xbox working again asap. Thanks.

Samsung drives - flashed
BenQ drives - flashed
Liteon drives - finally.. flashed with a homemade probe :)

I followd the tutorial to the t I believe but when I plugged the HDD back in to the xbox I got error screen. So, I hooked it back up to the PC and went into explorer360 and partition 4 was gone. Any fix for this or anybody know what may have gone wrong?

Has anyone been able to hotswap using a usb external IDE enclosure with Vista?
I had it working with my old XP lappy, but that's gone now and I'm hoping to fix my bricked xbox from my Vista machine. I've tried the Run as Administrator and the XP Compatability Mode tricks with Xplorer360, but still can't find the Fatx drive. The WD driver does show up in Device Manager. I haven't yet tried Xport or Xploder.
..Any ideas??
By the way, for anyone hoping to learn to hotswap: if you can get a hold of an old usb external 3.5" HD enclosure, I very highly recommend hotswapping using that rather than your old PC's ide cable. Transfer speeds will be slower but it's much safer for your computer and you can hotswap from within XP (..and maybe Vista?? anyone??) without restarting or booting to some live CD (can also be dangerous for your PC).

Live CDS are not bad for your PC... That's almost like saying Linux is bad for a PC... real computing is done using Linux. I have done many hot swaps and never ruined a pc... I have ruined hard drives plugging them in without having the power cord disconnected from the PC. XBOXhdm worked great. I haven't tried the usb method.
