I softmodded my xbox, that was fine, it booted to UnleashX no problem, so I then attempted to transfer XBMC to it. It had transferred most files over when the transfer stopped due to the hard drive. As I had only transferred some files and had not overwritten anything I thought it would be safe to reboot and finish the transfer but now the xbox won't boot past the opening animation and it won't boot games either.

Is this more likely a problem with the hard drive (which has been making clicking noises ever since I got it last week, and I'm certain is the reason the transfer stopped) or is it more likely a softmod issue even though all the UnleashX files are intact?

I should add that the LED turns orange after the animation and xbox screen are finished, it sounds as if it's attempting to read the hard drive but stops after 5-10 seconds and I only see a black screen. It cannot be accessed via FTP (using the IP from the attempt to transfer XBMC)
