hello all,
i tried to do a softmod with auto installer deluxe using the 007 gamesave, everything went according to plan, i created a ms and mod back up on the xbox hard drive as the tutorial suggested, on the menu of the evox dash the ms dashboard was not getting highlighted, so i installed the patch file, xbox said it had been installed did a backup, unfortunately for me the tutorial said once patch has been installed then you have to install the game back into xbox and do steps 3,4,5,6 after this i was getting the same result ms dash was not getting highlighted so here it where things start getting F*****D up, i think i did steps 3,4,5,6 and patching about 4/5 times still nothing and patch kept failling , so i decided to fire up the xbox without the game in and when it booted it starts up by trying to connect to xbox live, so again a couple of times i redid the turorial without any success, thinking i was a bright spark i went into ms dash memory and deleted the "ONLINE ADAPTER" in game saves, i eventually gave up and today this morning when i start up the console it just wants to access the net and nothing else,
i have no ftp access to the xbox, no back up on pc of eeprom,\also xbox will not play any games
and thats only the begining, i searched various xbox forums nand the usual suspects gave me there input suggesting whats the best thing to do..........eventually it was agreed to do a hotswap using xboxhdm and slayers incorporating slayers dash, once booted it will apparently unlock the xbox hard drive so i can rebuild the hard drive from scratch,
i made a xboxhdm disc, slapped it in the pc, set all the relevant ide cables to master etc...the disc boots up in the pc, my issue is once i connect the hard drive the xboxhdm program recognises the xbox hd (brings up the model number) and as it boots the xboxhdm disc i am constantly presented with error messages as it does a partition check, it does this twice (the erros) it then continues to boot the tool and type in "xboxhd" as requested and then displays and message saying :-
INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO INFO
this script assumes /dev/hda is the device to be used
for creating or rescuing an xbox harddrive
No disc drive found on /dev/hda (primary master)
shotdown, connect a drive and reboot
i am constantly getting this message no matter what method of hotswap i do, i take the dvdrom out and hotswap same thing, wait for the blubber to stop then hotswap, in fact i have swapped that many times my ide cabl for the xbox and pc are now very well worn in ! and i still can't get the damn thing to work,
can someone please help, thanks in advance and sorry for the jackanory
cheers
