I have read a lot of hotswapping threads but I am stuck. I have the xbox connected to the pc. On the desktop screen, that little box in the bottom right corner pops up telling me it detected the harddrive. This is the point where I am stuck. Here are my steps. I copied the xbox c folders to the C folder in xboxhdm 1.9. I did the make-iso-win and burned to verbatim cd with dvdecrypter. I can not get the cd to boot up. I even changed the pc's startup to boot from the cd-rom first. Here are the sites that I have used. http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=244043 http://www.xbox-hq.com/html/postt13750.html http://www.xbox-hq.com/html/xbox-tutorials-161.html The reason I am hotswapping is I have error 21. I have a softmod with evox. I am able to play original games but no backup nor can I go to any dashboard. I tried using a game with xbox live to reinstall ms dashboard but kicks me to error 21 screen. I also tried flashfxp with no luck.
ok do this my friend if u didnt delete the softmod saves put the game u softmodded with inside the console this will send u back to the same screen that u had when u softmodded with ftp capability now ftp the C back to your xbox.....if that dont work i will send u a tutorial on how to hotswap...
My problem turned out to be the dvd drive. It doesn't like cd-r's. I burned the program to a dvd and it worked. By the end of the evening so does the xbox. This was one heck of a learning experience. Perhaps this will help others.
