    Alright. Two things, if you can load up games, go with "Slayers Auto-installer".. If not

    Get a copy of "xbhdm" get the back up info you got. Hopefully the "C" and "E".. Take those drop THE FILES into the "C" and "E" folder that came with the "xbhdm" then get your back up info the "HDD Key" aka "HDD Disable Key" and print it out.. Now, click "Make-iso-win" I believe it is, or something along those lines, and burn the ISO it created to a disc.. Now, with your HDD key printed out, and your software in hands, turn off your comp.. Unhook all the drives to your comp, when I mean drives, I mean "HARD DRIVE" place your xbox drive on the MASTER cable, and boot your PC with the disc you made.. Now, at the load-up screen click "Lock and unlock" or something believe it's #3. Once you enter type in "unlockhd -p ########" where "####" type in the HDD key. Now the drive is unlocked, reboot PC, load up the disc you made and go into "option 1" then type in "xboxhd" then at the next screen "build HD from scratch" and with the supplied files from the "C" and "E" folder you backed up the disc remakes it back to normal pretty much.. So after it's done rebuilding the "C" and "E" drive ect ect, you have to "lock" it, so shut down your PC start it back up, press "#3" unlock lock toolz again.. press in "lockhd -p #####"<~~ number is "HDD key" again. Then once it's locked you're good to go..

    BTW if during the process your comp tells you the drive is frozen.. You have to either find a older computer, or hotswap. (I hotswap with my HP pent 4) once the computer starts like it says the name of it, mine is HP so the "HP" screen loads, then your program loads. Well after the first screen, hook the ATA cable up quickly to your xbox HD (Have the power cord already hooked up)

    I'm also screwed. Tried to softmod my sons and somehow it bombed. Now there isn't any way to restore and get the MS dashboard back. Does anyone know how to restore it?

    I brought an unlocked hdd (with the xbox operating system on it) off of ebay then Installed it using x3 bios, then locked it and it is now locked to my console. everything works fine and you don't need the eeprom or anything because an eeprom is an eeprom no console has its own.

    Guy EACH xbox has a Duiffernt eeprom. REASON you can read unlocked drives cause of Xecuter 3. FOR ONE.. So, yes eeprom is VERY important... READ MY POST ABOUT XBOXHDM if you don't have the info like, eep or HDD key, then mod your system with a modchip. If you can;'t buy a new system simple as that.. Also, ol'buddy says eeprom all the same.. Take a eeprom and load it to your xbox, and see if it cuts on. That'll show you that every eep is differnt.. ALSO it is how M$ bans people.. through there EEP cause it contaisn all vital information

    SEARIAL NUMBER
    HDD SERIAL ect..

    This happend to me all i did was load up a ftp dashboard (evox)on another xbox. and then take out the hardrive .and stick in the hardrive with no dashboard whilst its still on and select msdash after swapping them while its still on then go to msdash from there and copy the linux installer to the dashboard which will now apeare because its loaded it from the working xboxes hardrive and then once the linux installer is on the dashboardless hardrive boot up the disk that u r softmoding with i suggest splintercell and install the modified dashboard on then run it and ftp a new msdash across from another xbox and your done. p.s i cant spell and hopfully you can understand this hope it helps.

    I softmoded my xbox and put both evox and unleasedx on it. It was working fine for a day or two then when i rebooted it came up with a screen that said my xbox needed service and there is no number. It also doesn't read games at all.
