Hello, this may seem strange but i aquired a box of a friend but have no idea what dash it is using at the moment. When it boots up it says Media X menu ( never heard of this) and it scrolls down code like the matrix. it then goes to a screen that says 'loading Ltools' and then when its booted it says Ltools v1.8 at the top. it has a menu down the right hand side with
Ms Dash
Reboot
Power Off
Ltools
Dashboards
Can I just load up Aid Installer to put a new dash on or does that not work on softmodded boxes?

Yes, Media X menu is the dashboard. But it is suck. Replace it with Evox.
Download Evox from xbins, If you dont know how pm me.
Then extract it and ftp all the files and folders to root of drive C on xbox.

msdash.xbe = 1.56 meg
xboxdash.xbe = 1.9 meg
i have found another dashboard folder on the e drive with MXM.xml & menu.xml & cache_menu.xml. would they be the files that i'm looking for to edit?
on further inspection of these files in the cache_menu.xml the title is msdash and says to launch msdash.xbe

the only MXM is the MXM.xml and thats on the E drive. there Is no MXM.xbe on the C drive
The msdash is the actual Microsoft dash so that would mean that the xboxdash.xbe is the one running Media X, is that right?

13 - kernel - Dashboard launch fail (due to missing/bad key, or anything else that would prevent it from running) and the dashboard didn't specify why it failed.
The error it gives is because of the incompatibility between the (older) dashboard (4920) that older slayer cd installs and the new dashboard/kernel versions found in some new xbox's and found in xbox's that have been connected to xbox live (when you go on xbox-live, it'll upgrade your dashboard file to i believe it is now 5659.03. This dasboard is incompatible with the dash that (old) slayer cd installs (for example 2.5 or lower) for you.
(In detail, in the eeprom chip there is a kernel which is incompatible with the dashboard (4920) that slayer installs.)
So what do you do to fix it? You can use the dashupdate found on most new xbox games! Be sure to 1st unplug your ethernet cable before you do so!!!
Besides that, just use a good installation disc and all is fine. Use a 2.6 slayer or something similar

I think you told me wrong info here. The msdash.xbe is NOT the actual MS dash.

14 - dashboard - Error loading dashboard (dashboard generic error)
Same thing as above (error 13). This time it is also a little mistake from you on changing names or having played around with files on the xbox harddisk. Error 14 is most often because you changed boot orders or names of startup files on the harddisk. It can also happen when you are rebuilding your xbox harddisk with a slayer cd and the power was cut.
21 - anywhere -
This error says that the machine was booted to display a error, basically someone told the machine to reboot (or launch a xbe) with this flag, and the error code just means its been rebooted by the flag
This occurs frequently when the xbox is unable to boot due to dashboard changes being made (ie Gcue true blue hasnt been resigned, parts of the stock dash are missing - incomplete FTP backups copied to a new HDD for example).
