Don't worry, the e drive is only for gamesaves, the important drive is the C drive b/c thats where the xbox's system files are

You dont have a dash on your xbox at all(hacked or M$)? do original M$ games boot? Do u have FTP acess to your hdd?

i guess you could try loading the expliot directly from you memory card, or try looking up FTP on the internet and once you have FTP acess to your xbox you'll be able to put another dash on your hard drive. or you could look up hotswapping and try that to put the files back on, of course thats much harder tho. you can download extra dashboards at the "USUAL PLACE"

i dunno if this will hel much but instructions for the usual place are here. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/206722
also if u want to pay like $50 som1 could prolly put in a modchip. then you could reinstall everything with slayers boot disc.
if u dont want to install a chip then u need to get alt dash files from the usual place, and then use the hotswap meathod, but that should be your last resort as hotswapping might ruin your hard drive.

oh yah, if you have your eeprom backed up, then you can create a new xbox hdd from scratch with xbox hdm. but if u dont know what FTP is i doubt u backed it up...

well if u wanna spend money, just get someone to install a chip for you, then reinstall everything using a boot disc, that will definetly fix it.
