    @cjcinci. You have to re-run your softmod then delete the ms dash then either put in an xbox live game or download it from xbins or other sites. Also you MUST turn off your parental control.

    @ csosq..sorry for the lateness..

    Your disk looks right, the new dash files go in the folder C:

    For the hotswap go into your pc bios settings and set the hdd detection to auto....xbox hdm does it differently anyway, it doesn't matter if the pc reports the wrong size for the drive, as long as it finds something..

    First thing to do is get the eeprom.bin file off the drive, copy it somewhere safe..you will ned it to lock the drive again, or just hotswap back...read all the data that comes with xboxhdm carefully, especially the warnings about playing about with the drive locking tools...better still if you can..print all the readme's and tutorials..it's only about 7 pages...

    Its alright Jan. I got so frustrated with it after spending a few days trying to get the PC to find the HD. That I sent it in for repair. It should have been back right now so I am wondering what is going on. But I will keep that in mind next time I buy a broken xbox or my xbox breaks.

    Either a whole new generation of morons are modding or people are just careless! How in the hell could you delete files you need for the Xbox to run properly in the first place. Lesson learned here,

    If it looks important or you dont know what the file is.....DONT TOUCH IT!

    Ok i got a box that my friend tried to softmod. He didnt do it right so he tried to delete it, but he deleted the dashboard and system files i think... I read about the slayers auto installer and stuff, but i also read that you need a modchip to do that. I DO NOT have a modchip, is there anyway to do this?

    First *sigh*we'll all start again.....how was it softmodded, and do you still have that game??, if your friend f***** it up then go get the game off him...Load the game and load the save that says "linux"..and that will do...otherwise put live enabled game in(halo2 or something..dont connect it to the internet, thats not what we are doing)..and go to the live update bit...it will say "updating settings"when it finishes you should be ok....

    If for some reason that doesnt work or you are getting error 5..

    go here and look at "error 16"

    http://my.afterdawn.com/thereturn/

    look at the tutorials..

    then go here

    http://www.llamma.com

    and follow the same ideas..go look in the forums and then go to the hard disk section..don't take any notice of the unlocking stuff on the frontpage...look for things with my name on 'em..

    i think its pretty much screwe cause, it wont load a game when inserted. Unless there is a way to format a new hardrive?

    I dont know if this is possible, but this is what i would like to do.
    I have an old hard drive from an old computer as set it up as a slave disk on my current PC and cleared everything on the drive. Right now there is nothing on it. I wanted to see if i could download an auto installer and install it from my computer and then just plug it into the xbox. Im thinking this will work, but im not sure of how to exactly do this. I want to use slayers auto install.

    Sadly your plan has no chance.. Try one of the auto installers in the pc... You will get either no disk or invalid function errors..

    You need to do the hotswap with xboxhdm and replace the ms dash files on the original xbox drive.. Then you need to check and see if there is a file on the drive called eeprom.bin.. If there is all well and good.you can make a new xbox drive and lock it with the eeprom.bin file you have.. If not then you need to do another softmod and get that eeprom data..Or buy a chip..that's the easy way..then you can fit just about any pc drive you want..

    Look here for all the facts...
