Thanks
Just guessing but this just looks like a crazy attempt at using xboxhdm to mod an xbox with a dvdr. You are supposed to burn the cd image to a cdr and boot the cdr. Make sure in your bios it's set to boot from the cd drive first. You should try the hotswap tutorial with xplorer360. You'll get a hell of a lot further. This way you don't have to screw around with the cd/dvd issue you have. Xbox Software You will find xplorer 360 on that page Use this tutorial Oh, and next time when you post all this information include what you're trying to do and exactly what tutorial you are having problems with. There are a lot of different tutorials on here and it's hard to answer a question if you don't know all the facts.
Fair enough, I was able to burn a cd iso to a dvd before and it booted properly, won't say what the iso was of, but it didn't have linux at the core. Maybe that's why it didn't work for me, I dunno. I guess linux makes the distiction. Loaded fine up til that point. I've been working on this for a total of about 6 hours so i'm still wrapping my mind around the procedures for the hack. I actually just tried a different method using XBL & Kingroach’s Ndure PC Installer. Successfully hotswapped the drive and even went through all the installation procedures, backing up the dashboard, etc. It stated that it completed the install but alas when I rebooted the xbox, it still loaded the stock dashboard, no joy. Any ideas on that, do you need step by step info? I would like to resolve the issues with that method since I came so close. Oh, and thanks for the help
After reading the tut for the xplorer 360, are you telling me that, after backing them up of course, I can just overwrite the c: and e: folders from windows and successfully perform the hack? By the way, love the sig at the bottom of your post, funny stuff. Often thought that myself.
That's exactly what i'm saying. You can easily replace any files on any partition using xplorer360. As long as the hard drive is unlocked (which is what hotswapping does) you won't have any problems. ...and yeah i plan to add a big red search button to my sig.. i just keep getting sidetracked. [edit] you motivated me lol ... now if i could just center it
Well I screwed up somehow. I was attempting to overwrite a folder in the c drive, received a couple errors and Xplorer360 crashed. I reopened Xplorer360 and the 4th partition (E drive) was gone! Fortunately (I hope), I made 2 backup copies. One was a direct export of all partitions to a folder on my hard drive and the other was an image backup. Now the xbox won't boot into the ms dashboard, unless I eject the dvd tray after it stops at a blank screen. It shows the hard drive at 0 bytes, and it also won't play a game when inserted. I'm assuming that my only hope of rescue is SlaYers EvoX Auto-Installer 2.7 FINAL cd?
