Ok, i accidently formatted my drive E and i can't get any dashboard to load, not even the microsoft dashboard, So i can't reload the softmod program. How can i do this without getting on my dashboard? or is it possible? And i don't have a chipped xbox, mine is just a normal one, that i decided to softmod.

when i formatted me E drive it erased all my backups. So i have nothing to go off of, except the backup from my friends xbox that i loaded on my computer. but it does me no good when i can't even FTP my xbox, cause it won't connect, cause i can't get on anything. Just the Xbox sign iwth the black background.

it doesn't boot to any dash
it still boots original games
and it doesn't give me any error code

it just starts up like it normally does, but it doesn't do anything once it gets to the xbox screen with a black background that pops up microsoft.

Do you still have linux file in the hdd?

If not, do hotswap from the link above.

i don't have anything as far as dashboards or linux on my hdd.

and i tried the hotswap, and it might just be me, and i'm pretty sure it probably is, but i couldn't get my computer to connect to my xbox hdd. it kept restarting and starting up like i formatted my computer drive. so nothing would come up. So i dunno what else to do. I can't really aford a chip, and even if i could, i probably still wouldn't understand what to do. So unless you got another idea for someone who really doesn't know what the hell he's doing, i think i'm S.O.L. as far as getting my dashboard back.

you did not connect it right.

2 IDE cable on PC: one is for pc's hdd, 2nd one is for xbox's hdd.

Xbox's hdd and pc's hdd are on DIFFERENT IDE cable.

There are 2 IDE ports on motherboard: Primary and Secondary.

So pc's hdd is on the Primary Ide cable and xbox hdd is on Secondary Ide cable.
