I wondered if any knowledgeable modder can help me understand the whole partition(s) and .xbe useage of the Xbox. I used the Softmod 3.1 method and chose UnleashX as my bootup dashboard. It's ok and all (nice and easy game copy feature: hidden in the Misc section - and a quick way to get the FTP server up and running). I've thought about putting XBMC as my default dash (I currently just run it as an app from the E partition) but am worried I'll trash the proper booting ability (did it once already and just restored my drive with the slick backup ISO I made with xboxhdm_v1.9, but still a time wasting hassle). Is there a safe way to switch booting dashboards with a softmod in place? Which files are actually the softmod doing their thing at boot?

Also, the XBMC has the nifty Quicktime movie script to peruse the web and watch trailers, but even after trying the latest version I still cannot get it to play any trailers. I get to the updating portion Ok and see all the movie titles and descriptions, just can't actually get the trailers to play. I can see a quick message on screen referring to some Q: partition cache and then nothing happens. I do not see a Q: partition on my Xbox (but I think it's a hidden cache thing) and wondered if I have to launch XBMC from a particular partition in the first place for the script to work right. Again, my XBMC is launched as an app from E:

Thanks.

Yurika thank you!
I only found this post the other day(so sorry for the late thank you)

rename the avalaunch.xbe to default.xbe

This was the problem!
Now my avalaunch dash appears in the apps menu in EvoX.
Needless to say I am assuming that this will also fix other apps which have the same problem like XB music mixer.
thnx again
