    if you buy the modchip, you can buy another xbox like $60 now.

    Just my opinion

    Hi There,

    I recently used your hotswap method to repair and softmod an xbox. It worked wonderfully! Thanks so much for the wonderfully written tutorial. I do have a question, though. I used the mhack files to get evox on my machine. If I wanted to boot to UnleashX rather than evox, how would I go about changing this? I've attempted to change the dash, but it doesn't seem to want to boot to anything other than the factory dash and evox. I have been able to add UnleashX as an application in evox and boot from there, but I would prefer to boot straight in if possible. Any assistance you could provide is appreciated. Thanks.

    So do the ftp. List all files and folders on ROOT of C and E drive. List all files and folder inside the DASHBOARD folder.

    If there is any chance, backup eeprom.

    I can you help you out.

    Thanks for the reply. In C, I have Audio, fonts, xboxdashdata185EAD00, xodash, XBox Book.xtf, Xbox.xtf,and xboxdash.xbe. In E, there is Apps, Backup, Cache, Emulators, games, Saves, Screenshots, Skin, TData, UData, evox.ini, evoxdash.xbe, items.txt, and sid4-hd.bin. I don't have a Dashboards folder.

    what are in the apps?

    Here is what you need to get:

    - the complete working Unleash. If not, your xbox can't not load any dashboard.

    - get ftp connection. ftp unleash to root of E drive.

    Let me know what are in the ROOT of E drive before doing any thing else.

    Xbox media Center is in the apps folder. I have Unleash. I downloaded it via chunkhead's Software Download page. My ftp connection is set and I have sent unleash to E as you requested. The unpacked unleash folder contains:

    Config.xml
    Default.xbe
    English
    French.xml
    German.xml
    MetallicAtmosphere.zip
    Readme.txt
    Spanish.xml
    Unleashx0.39.0222A.nfo

    I am assuming this is complete?

    So now on ROOT E drive, you should have these:
    Apps
    Backup
    Cache
    Emulators
    games
    Saves
    Screenshots
    Skin
    TData
    UData
    evox.ini
    evoxdash.xbe
    items.txt
    sid4-hd.bin
    Config.xml
    Default.xbe
    English.xml
    French.xml
    German.xml
    MetallicAtmosphere.zip
    Readme.txt
    Spanish.xml
    Unleashx0.39.0222A.nfo

    IF NO, Hold right here.

    did you load this unleash dash to see if it work?

    IF YES, follow these steps:
    - connect ftp
    - goto E drive
    - rename evoxdash.xbe to evox.xbe
    - rename Default.xbe to evoxdash.xbe
    - reboot xbox. It will load unleash as default dashboard.


    Let me know.

    Hi I have a slave drive on PRIMARY IDE (no master on this cable)
    On SECONDARY IDE I have master and slave DVD-RW drives.

    Then my boot HDD is on a separate SATA slot on mobo.
    Which IDE should I use for the xbox - should I take out the slave HDD on the PRIMARY IDE and just use that cable??

    BTW, The last time I plugged in a HDD when the PC was running, it crashed my windows...how would I plug in the xbox one in windows if this happens??

    My BIOS does not have anything remarkable, I know both IDE are activated (cos normally I use them both anyway) and I don't think there's anything else I can configure in regards to IDE channels.

    Thanks

    So you have PC's hdd is SATA. So you can remove all devices on Secondary IDE. it will connect to xbox's hdd.

    If the windows crash, disconnect xbox's hdd then connect it back to xbox. So you can not do hotswap with these configuration.

    Last time I did it with the secondary IDE (removed both dvd-rw drives), it recognised the xbox harddrive as some SCSI device...

    If I don't change BIOS and attach a HDD to the IDE cable that has always had dvd drives in, will that matter??

    Is there any harm with doing it on my primary IDE cable instead??

    I'll give it a go once I get your reply.
    Thanks a lot

    it wont harm the PC. Yes you can try the other IDE cable.


    @pastlog
    Nobody know your xbox password. You have to backup eeprom before unlock the hdd. If you dont, you need the eeprom reader

    Dude don't unplug anything if you just bought andwant to mod it. All you need is splinter cell, action replay and flashfxp and dot halo ( both are for pc).
