    I just got a new hard drive and I have my old HP computer here. I put the hd on master and then plug it into the Hp and then I have my xboxhdm boot cd. So i make sure it boots from cd first. Then Iit does that and I press option 1 and enter. It loads some files. Loads inirt.gz and goes on to the next screen and jsut stays blank. The keyboard seems frozen> I burnt the boot cd correctly too and I duno what could be the problem> I laso tried the hard drive on cable select and even user hd on the bios? Any one know hwy it wont work?

    If your keyboard is frozen your hd isnt connected correctly, just try it again until the keyboard is unfrozen

    It turned out that the pc was the problem. I had to go downstaires and use the other computer. I guess older pc's are not so good at this. It seemed the cd reader was not detecting the drive yet.

    my personal experience with xboxhdm 1.9 is good however i had the opposite experience with it.

    my new pc's would not boot or would not lock the hdd, however when i put the disk in my old HP 400mhz it booted, completed the process, and locked the hdd.

    Hmm, it could be also that my old HP was hit by lightening a while back although now it still works fine if it had a hard drive in it. I duno why it would not laod anything off of the cd after that certain point. You also have to watch out that your new pc doesnt have SATA connection cables too.

    well if your softmodded xbox has the ms dash on there then it should
    in xboxhdm 1.9
    you put your C and E folder into your linux folder along with your eeprom and burn that iso it should copy that to your new HD exactly how your original....the only problem i had is my UDATA....

    What ever you put on the linux cd, it will create on your new hard drive. I cant acess my xbxodash.xbe in unleash x for some reason. Its prolly because it did not copy it or something. Other than that everything else is fine.

    To get your MS dash back just turn on the xbox by pressing the open tray button. You will be loaded to the MXM menu. Choose Restore ms back up and you will then have your original Ms dash back.

    Ah, Id id not know that you wanted to change the dash of MXM itself. I know you can do it, but I have not tried. I know you can also get skins for MXM too.
