if its already modded why do you need to open it up?just boot the xbox and load everything...if you wanna install a new application go download AID 3.0 from isohunt.com...

When he says "open it up" I think he means opening the potential of the xbox. Now how does the xbox "seem" to have a hard mod?

you will need to turn your chip off and do it from the original ms-dash...

I couldve sworn 3.1 was the newest, 4.5 is the newest Nknave version I thought.

Buddy why cant you jsut use the chip? Its exactly the same as softmodding, just more reliable. Try it out, I want you to put the chip back on and reboot AID 3.0 and reinstall your M$ dashboard, and a hacked dash (I love unleashX)

OK listen guys its not as simple as that cos i turn the chip back on and no matter if i try and load Aid up or not i still get the same screen ( green with a cusomer service advice in a few languages) is the problem a bios one or will i be able to boot up with out a hdd. iv cloned a hdd off one of my soft modded xbox's but even that wont boot cos of that same green customer service screen.

it will definately be a bios problem because it should be able to boot past the error message....and yes you should be able to put your other HD inside your xbox but you will still need to load AID and use config magic to unlock it and then lock it back to that motherboard.....
