No, without a dash you cant ftp. When you boot your xbox what does it say?

The xbox X stays frozen on screen?? LOL, thats the first ive heard of that issue, congratulations, lol. (kidding with ya)
Yes you can go that route. (hotswap)
Think back, You deleted stuff on the "C" partition right, Not the "E" one correct? if this is the case than your original softmod installer thing should still be on the xbox! :)
If you can boot a game (which im pretty confident you can do,.... i think) you can load the softmod installer again. (just the same as the first time)
From there there should be an option somewhere to install the original dash or "return to factory".
Try that first.
----------------------------------------
If you cant boot a game than you cant do that :(
And in that scenario a Mod chip or Hotswap is your only solution.
Do you know how to do a hotswap?

Theres an old way to unlock a drive too...RISKY...you boot an original game and when it loads the drive is unlocked and stays that way as long as it remains connected to the power from the xbox...Then plug an ide cable from your pc into the xbox hdd and boot up the pc (you may need to change some settings in the bios to autodetect the drive...You will need an app called fatXplorer to run on the pc, then copy the files from E:\ c_backup onto C:\
This is the old way of doing it and is risky....
Disclaimer
I take no responsibility for screw ups..try this at your own risk..

Just get a Mod chip and you will never screw your xbox again and its much safer with a chip. with sodtmod u will always have problem coz if u just delete a file by accident, your xbox is screwed. Get a Chip

I agree, you should get a mod chip. some you just "plug in".
Anyway, just redo the softmod. if you can boot a game you can do it. PLEASE!, it'll make me feel better.
Step 1, patch MS dash. (its an option in the softmod menu)
Step 2, install the dash 'n' stuff.
step 3, Enjoy.
It's that easy.

You mean on you comp?.. i've never used that program so i have no idea how to do anything with it.
But i'll take a swing.
If you're having trouble finding it with your comp than disconnect your computers hdd leaving only the xbox one. (that way you wont make a xbox hdd out of your computers hdd aswell.) That should make it easy to find as it'll be the only one.

Sorry uplink went out...
The only hdd connected to your pc should be the xbox drive
Ok shark if you are unlocked just put the dash files on C:(you should have them on a disk by now)..with luck the partition should still be there, and have a look what is left on E:
HDM isn't too hard when you get the hang of it..
I ripped this as-is from the manual..
(the readme.txt)
This simple script will let you build a working xbox harddrive from
scratch. This is possible due to the simple way an xbox HD is recognized
by the xbox - the partition table is simply hardcoded in the xbox kernel.
By writing "magic" words to certain locations on a HD we can therefore
"trick" the xbox and an xbox-enabled linux kernel into thinking we have an
xbox Hd attached to our PC. The mkfs.fatx utility from the xboxdumper package
at xbox-linux.sourceforge.net lets us format fatx partitions.
WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
This automated xbox HD builder will only work if you attach the xbox
or blank HD on your PRIMARY MASTER. I also recommend to disconnect all
other harddrives. Then you will not accidently destroy your current drives.
You must still have at least one CDROM-drive attached.
NB ! This distro uses the following notation :
Primary Master : /dev/hda
Primary Slave : /dev/hdb
Secondary Master : /dev/hdc
Secondary Slave : /dev/hdd
W First of all - if you intend to use this tool to make an xbox HD for an
soft- or un-modded xbox you need to be able to lock the drive after it
has been generated.
You therefore need either your hdd passwd (obtained from Evox or
ConfigMagic) or your xbox eeprom. With the eeprom you can generate the
unique passwd with W the Liveinfo tool from Team Assembly.
IF YOU DONT HAVE YOUR HD KEY OR EEPROM DO NOT CHOOSE OPTION 4)
ThIS WILL WIPE YOUR FATX PARTITION AND REBOOT THE MACHINE.
IF YOU HOTSWAPPED YOUR STOCK HD THEN IT WILL BE RELOCKED UPON REBOOTING
AND SINCE AT THIS STAGE IT IS NOT FUNCTIONAL IN YOUR XBOX YOU CANNOT
HOTSWAP AGAIN. BASICALLY YOU'VE GOT YOURSELF A PAPERWEIGHT...
WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
WHAT YOU NEED :
1) Read the above warning on hdd passwd or eeprom
2) This linux distro. Hopefully obtainable from xbins.
3) For the freshly formatted fatx HD to be of any use you need to supply the
xboxhd tool with the xbox system-files (C-drive) and optionally your game save
(E-drive). You can get these files from FTP'ing to your xbox and copy
the files over to your PC. If you don't have these files you can obtain them
from Slayers Evox Autoinstaller. This is an xiso that you can extract with
tools like XISO or Qwix. The system-files is located in CD-DRIVE:/SYSTEM/ALL/c
You can now either
- burn a seperate CDROM with two folders containing the
xbox C-, and E-drive respectively, or
- Put the xbox C- and E-drive files in the C and E folders
in this directory before making the burnable iso.
For information on howto make the iso read the HOWTO.txt the main directory
of this package.
In the current version of xboxhd you can :
1) Build a working HD from scratch. This is two-step procedure. First we
write the parition table. Afterwards we can continue formatting
the partition.
2) Rebuild C-drive. This will format the xbox HD's C-partition and
rebuild it - bringing it back to a virgin state.
3) Cloning an existing xbox HD onto a blank drive. Again hotwapping is OK.
4) Install an F-drive if you HDD is large enough - this is checked!
Note that the also get this option when building a HDD from scratch
using option 1).
5) Wipe an existing xbox fatx partition table. Intended for corrupted xbox
HD's that the user wants to rebuild from scratch.
6) Generate the unique hdd password needed to lock drives for the xbox.
Requires the eeprom.bin to be on the CD.
7) Make DOS floppy with HDD locking/unlocking tools
To start the tool type 'xboxhd' on the command-line. Hopefully the tool itself
is more or less self-explanatory.
Good luck !
And..
This explains howto build a burnable iso from this distribution.
For information on howto use the xbox HD builder script read the readme.txt
in the linux directory.
The xbox HD builder script (xboxhd) needs the xbox C-, and E-drive files.
You can supply the script with these files in two ways :
You can either :
- burn a seperate CDROM with two folders containing the
xbox C-, and E-drive respectively, or
- Put the xbox C- and E-drive files in the C and E folders
in linux directory before making the burnable iso.
BUILDING THE ISO.
In windows upon a 'Command prompt' and navigate to this directory.
Run the following command :
> make-iso-win.bat
In linux navigate to this directory and execute :
> make-iso-lin.sh
This should produce a file called linux.iso that you must now burn
to blank CDROM. It's important that you burn this raw image and don't
create a Data CDROM containing this image...
UNLOCK/LOCK TOOLS.
If you need to lock or unlock xbox HD's use also have two options :
1) Boot the CDROM an choose option 3) at the boot prompt. This will
bring you to a linux prompt with locking/unlocking tools.
These tools are generating the HDD password automatically and it's
therefore required that you supply the eeprom of the xbox that the HDD
is from. You can include the eeprom in the xboxhmd/linux/eeprom directory
(named eeprom.bin) or have it ready on a floppy disk.
type : unlockhd to run the unlock utility.
type : lockhd to run the locking utility. The eeprom supplied password
will be set and a Master Password 'XBOXSCENE'. You can use this to unlock
the HDD if you loose the eeprom password you your eeprom gets lost.
Boot the xboxhdm to DOS (option 4) and run the atapwd tools to unlock
using Master passwords.
2) Boot the CDROM an choose option 4) at the boot prompt. This will
bring you to a DOS prompt with the unlockx, hdlock, hdunlock, hddisabl
utilities. However as the CDROM is read-only on log files can be saved
so you will be prompted the used passwd when a HD is locked. Write this
down in case the passwd later turns out to be incorrect. You can also insert
a fat-formatted floppy and run the save-logs command to save the used passwd's
onto floppy
3) Boot the xboxhdm CD using option 1). Enter the xboxhd tool by typing xboxhd and
pushing ENTER. Choose the "Generate HDD password" option and afterwards
run the "Make DOS floppy with locking tools" option.
Reboot using this floppy and use the unlockhd and lockhd tools.
Good luck - and remember to read the readme.txt before using this tool!
ldots.
Hope that makes things a bit easier..
Thanks go to Idots for a brilliant tool...
