I have no way to fix my xbox....

ok. sort out which ide is for the hdd. Then leave it alone.
So the other ide, remove all devices, just leave the IDE cable alone and stay connect to motherboard.

 

I gotto go now. talk later.

 

Ok, I found the IDE wire, but my cpu will not pick up the Xbox. I think I have done it right and over 50 times. I am either not doing it right or my cpu isn't picking it up.

 

what you do is to restart mechassualt when you get to the screen where is says to create mod backup and so on. Under all that there are the choices that say to restore ms and another one but i forgot what it was but what you want to do is to click on both of the and let it restore everything. Once it is done you should turn the Xbox off then back on and everything should be back to normal.

 

hmm. where are you at now?

The actual work process NOTES:

I'm not good at explaining things but if you have followed that guide above and now have your box ready and your pc ready then here is what I done.

Both are turned off to start with.

I connected a power cable from my pc to the xbox hard drive. Obviously the ide cable was still going from the hard drive to the xbox mother board.

I then powered up my pc but just before it goes through the detecting hard drive stage I pressed 'pause Break' on the keyboard.This stops the pc fully booting up.

Next step was to power on the xbox and just as the logo loads up disconnect the IDE cable. You can now plug the IDE cable from your pc into the xbox hard drive.

Once that is done press 'A' on your keyboard and this should start to boot your computer again. You may need to press it a few times.
This should now boot your pc and when it has logged on to windows you may get a 'detected new hard ware' message(i done mine twice, first time it detected it and second time it did not so its worth carrying on even if it did not detect it)

I then opened up xlorer360 and you should see 5 partitions down the left hand side. You want to put your M$ dash files in partiton 3. then when you put it all back together you can load up splinter cell and the soft mod save and Re do what needs to be done. Forgot to say, that you must put your xbox hard drive back in to the box before switching it off so this can relock it to your box.

 

can anyone give me a game that has that option about dash update?

 

IF you can find the dashupdate option, then try to hook up to xbox live to see if you can find it.

 

These are the steps I used and printed out when I was doing it, I really don't care anymore about it, I will just find another cpu and hope it works.

 

ok.
