    download the shademand softmod file 324MB. then extract it all the way until you have C and E folder.

    can you still ftp?


    @lilpimpjj

    There are 2 ide cables in PC: primary and secondary. The pc's hdd connects to primary ide cable. The xbox's hdd will connect to secondary ide cable.

    So make sure you understand these before doing hotswap. You can ask someone who knows about PC too.

    I dont do hotswap now. So I can't take pics.

    Ok do the hotswap and disconnect IDE cable from xbox's hdd JUST BEFORE xbox goes to error screen.

However the dashboard still does not work. i have repeated the process again and it still does not work.i have nothing in partion 0-2 and i have audio, fonts, xboxdashdata.1012a700, xodash, and xboxdash.xbe. And in partition 4 i have tdata and udata. please let me know if anything is incorrect. thanks

    Try to download the Shademand softmod file 324MB on the first page. It will fix your xbox. Just follow my tut again.

    I just tried installing shademands softmod but i still get the error thirteen. im not sure why neither are working. im fallowing the tut on this page. is there any special way i should insert the files? What i do is pick partition 3 and insert all of the files from foler "C" and in partition 4 i insert all files from folder "E" from the shademands softmod using xplorer360. then i click "close drive", disconnect the hdd from my computer. Then i reconnect the hdd to the xbox and then i turn the xbox off. when i turn the xbox back on, i recieve the error 13. If any of this is wrong i would appreciate any help. thanks again for the responses.

    Shademand softmod file:

    C folder has: audio folder, backup folder, fonts folder, xboxdashdata.185ead00 folder, xodash folder, xbox book.xtf file, xbox.xtf file, xboxdash.xbe file

    E folder has: apps folder, cache folder, dashboard folder, screenshots folder, shadowc folder, skins folder, tdata folder, udata folder


    So copy to eveything C folder to partition 3 and copy to eveything E folder to partition 4. So you will have like this in xbox.


    Partition 3: audio folder, backup folder, fonts folder, xboxdashdata.185ead00 folder, xodash folder, xbox book.xtf file, xbox.xtf file, xboxdash.xbe file

    Partition 4: apps folder, cache folder, dashboard folder, screenshots folder, shadowc folder, skins folder, tdata folder, udata folder


    That is it.

    urrg.. yep ms dash problem.

    did you clean up the xbox hdd before copy shademand files over? You may have corrupted files. Try to download another one from other sites. It is 324MB.

    Shademand files have been working on a lot of xbox.
