So. I recently softmodded my Xbox (a couple days ago), but last night I got into a little problem.
First of all, being a newb to this stuff, after installing my softmod, I decided to format all of my drives (which I read I should do). But, I conveniently didn't read the part that I shouldn't format the drives that have my dashboard and other integral files on it (/E, /C). So, I formatted every drive on the list. I realized this was a bad idea when I went over to my save game manager and found they were all gone. I figured it was probably just a fluke, and then tried again. But, unsurprisingly, they remained gone. Panicking, I tried to switch to my MS dash to check and see if my saves were showing up there in the memory section, and then I got an error screen. Restarted my Xbox, and lo and behold, error 22. So, I read up on a way to fix it, and read that AID would be my best bet since the softmod is still installed. I downloaded 4.50, burned it to a disc, and it loaded fine.
Relieved that my Xbox wasn't completely ****ed, I proceeded to download several emulators, ROMs, and applications before attempting to install XBMC. for some reason, he XBMC dash didn't work. Now, it beign late, and me being incredibly tired and not thinking logically, I saw "Uninstall Softmod" on the AID list. I thought, "Hey, maybe I should uninstall the softmod and reinstall it, THEN get XBMC.
It told me I needed to have a MS dash backup to use it, or it didn't work. Here's when the real trouble starts. I had made a backup of the dash when I first installed the softmod, but stupidly forgot that I had formatted my /E drive and it was gone. So, I proceeded with the uninstall, and it uninstalled without a hitch (unfortunately). I then restarted my Xbox, and got an error screen. I suddenly realized what could have happened to my Xbox and started to panic. I attempted to run the AID disc, but sadly, the softmod was gone and now I can't run the disc. Since I didn't have a backup of the MSdash, now my Xbox is just an empty shell of components that shows an error screen when I turn it on.
Now to my question: Is there any way to raise my Xbox from its dismal state? If so, How? If not, is my Xbox completely dead?

TL;DR: Uninstalled softmod without MSdash backup, now Xbox is completely dead, how do I fix it.
