My Xbox has been acting strange lately. I can get it to work most times, but sometimes I get error codes 21 and 13. I know these both relate to the dashboard, but I have no idea why it is happening. I have a softmod done by Splinter Cell and I have EVox as my dashboard. I can still get games to boot without a problem. Right now it is working fine, but when I go to DVD2Xbox or XBMC, then I try and go back to the dashboard, I get an error. Some of my games freeze, some of my movies freeze, and most times I can't even get XBMC to work at all. Aside from starting over from scratch and completely redoing my softmod, are there any other things I might could do to fix this? I hate to lose all my current games, data, etc. Thanks for any help that anyone can give me.
Well, I went ahead and redid the entire thing using xboxhdm. I have a 160GB Hard Drive in my Xbox. (Forgot to mention that earlier, sorry.)
So here is what happened:
I did the reformatting and got it into my Xbox and everything seemed to be fine. So once I sent my TDATA and UDATA folders back to my Xbox and my Evox skins, I decided to send over my emulators. I have a network connection set up to my Xbox so I use Windows Explorer to FTP with. During the transfer, I got an error message. So I decided to just delete and start over. But when I restarted my Xbox, I got error 9. So I honestly believe at this point that I have a f**ked up hard drive. What do you guys think? Should I try this crap again, or should I just go ahead and get a new hard drive and start over? Or could it possibly be a problem with my Xbox? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Well, I honestly have no idea what to think. The Xbox worked fine, then gave me error 9. I waited a while, turned it back on and it worked fine again. Later I got an error 13. Waited a while, turned it back on and everything has been fine since. I honestly believe that I either have a bad hard drive, or my Xbox as a whole is on the verge of going bad. When I redid my hard drive, the only files on it were the ones needed to format the C and E drives using xboxhdm. I am certain that none of my files are currupt because this box has used the same files for over two years now. This whole problem just began a few weeks ago.
My softmod tutorial has links to fresh MS Dash files. Use those and reinstall the entire dash! You do not need files in E:\ refer to my HDD upgrade tutorial on how to build the HDD correctly!
