    i have just purchased an xbox from Game Stop. I attempted to softmod by running the games save files on splinter cell all went well untill i got to the part to install Ndure Krayzies nfpatcher Everytime i try to install in it says action rename. I created a profile on Halo 2 however i have never connected to xbox live and wonder if i have to register it or not? Im lost need to know what i did wrong because i cant get it to work. Please help

    there is a part in harddisk settings where it says teset and cancel changes could i do this and would it remove the softmod data from my hard drive and allow the xbox dashboard to work properly again
    thanks for the help!

    The nkpatchers won't work until you create a back up of your C:/ with the softmod installer.

    As I recall, krayzie designed it so that you can't soft mod it unless you do things in a specific order. Ideally, a back up of your C:\ would be made with shadow c maker and placed on E:\ somewhere. Afterwards, you can install the actual soft mod.

    At least, that's how I remember reading it anyway.

    Based on your description, it sounds like you didn't even select Xbox Live, even after playing Halo 2 for a bit...

    You need to update the dashboard. Just playing Halo 2 isn't going to do it. You have to select Xbox Live and force it into updating it...
