Softmod copy over

I also have the option to dowmload the full version of XBMC 59Mb

 

download anything you want

 

ok,

I have the xbox original dashboard which I downloaded from the site link you gave me. I think the only way to do this is via the instruction set on hotswapping. I have an old PC that I can play around on so I wont blow anything up.

I will take the xbox apart tomorrow and try the complete rebuild over the weekend.

I dont suppose you can start from scratch with a new HHD can you?

Will you still be around to contact over the weekend on here?

I just hit the power button ans it has loaded something called softmod installer deluxe 3?????

This is good right

What should I do?

MD

 

OK,

EVOX dashboard is now working again !!!!

fusk me I was worried for a good hour or two

MD

 

yes fusk YOU. Make me have more works to take care.

 

Return,

I cannot thank you enough for all the support you gave me yesterday and I am sure it was pure fluke that the mod installer loaded back up. So, now that this up and running again I have made a complete backup of the xbox drives. c,d,e,f,g,x,y,z using FTP. I found I get access to more if I use the Evoxdash. I reckon the unleashed dash looks better thou ?!?!

If I had the media centre as my dashboard can I still rip games to the HDD? If so will have this as my dash change swap out the HDD for a big 250gig one and leave it there.

That way I will have the media centre in the car and I can ftp all my music, movies to it. rip the games to it and I am happy.

On the home straight ??!?!

Cheers Dude.

MD

 

Dont make more problems. As you know my last day coming soon.
Cheers

 

Dude,

I promise to follow your every command.

1) Can my games be ripped to HDD from XBMC
2) Can you show / guide me in the HDD swap out
3) Guide me how to get the dash to boot as XBMC

I have created a backup and I will do nothing without instruction when it comes to copying, moving, deleting files.

Cheers

1/ I dont think that you can rip games from xbmc. Just download dvd2xbox.

2/ Make sure you have the eeprom. If you dont, download the config magic to xbox. run it then click on the Backup eeprom option. YOu can also write down the hdd key too. DO NOT UNLOCK THE HDD.

Then backup everything to PC. So dont touch that working hdd.

Here is the tutor

3/ Later.

 

Cheers dude,

Do I download DVD2XBOX to the xboxitself (when the HDD is swapped) and then just run it from the file manager ?

I already have config Magic so I will just load that up and do the eeprom backup and then backup the drives the PC and follow TUT you sent me.

I will try this (HDD swap) tonight when I get home as I am at work at the moment

Will keep you posted.

MD

 

Make sure dont touch the working hdd. it is your back up

Cool,

thanks for that.

I guess I am only doing the part in tutorial called:

INSTALLING F:\ Drive or UPGRADE YOUR HARD DRIVE:

and thats it !!!

Return,

I am following some instructions to swap out drive. It appears I have an older version of xboxhdm and once I have created the ISO file I cannot burn it. I have tried alcohol and nero and it just wont write.

Do you know where I can get v1.9. I tried xbox-hq but they have some really fusking annoying download thing where you have to click these buttons to enable downloads. I keep on doing it and it keeps sending me back to the enable downloads page after 4th attempt I got pissed off.

Any ideas?

MD

 

goto my page and look for download xbox files. I have 3 address there.

 

already done and it is building the ISO file. Just hope it burns this time.

MD

 

OK,

I created the ISO and burnt it to DVD in Nero. Shut PC down and changed BIOS to boot from CD drive and it wont do anything it just boots into windows and thats it.

In nero all I selected was burn image. It seems to have worked as all the files are there OK. I cant use alcohol as it get to 2% and then it stops.

Ideas?

MD

 

do you burn it right?
It has to boot.

 

I am guessing I burnt it right.

1) loaded Nero V6
2) Select DVD
3) Select copy / back up menu
4) Select 'Burn Image to disc'

It runs?

Is this right?
