I recently softmodded my xbox using Splinter Cell following the tutorial at techfreaks.org/articles/modxbox.shtml (and installed a 250gig drive using the modxbox2.shtml tutorial). All went well with the exception of my xbox only seeing 137 gig. I'm guessing that all I should need to do is upgrade the bios, right? I want to make sure that flashing the bios with a softmodded xbox isn't going to completely hose the xbox. :) If that isn't all/what I need to do, is there something else I can do to get it to see the remaining space on the drive?

Thanks in advance ...

Oh, also, if I do need to upgrade the bios, can anyone recommend which bios I should use (as well as recommend a utility to flash it)? The xbox I'm using is a v1.6B and I'm using the Evolution X dashboard, if that helps.

SModder your tutorial sucks, and it is not accurate.....YOU CAN use ARMAX and you can use mechassult and or 007 agent under fire...JUST TO LET EVERY ONE OUT THERE THAT READS HIS TUTORIAL ITS NOT ACCURATE SO FIND ANOTHER ONE HIS TUTORIAL WILL MESS UP YOUR XBOX YOU WILL PROBABLY GET ERROR 16 <<<<<< you don't want that....... that will mess up your xbox for good....and if you gies mod stay out of RANKED MATCHMAKING or just matchmaking itseld.....sometimes you will not even be able to log on xbox live, the ban hammer will detect your mods and ban you!

Chill out! And until you write a guide shut up. These guides are not garuntees'. There are to many varibles to consider. There is always more than 1 way to do something. If it was so terrible what do you suggest he do?? All you did was complain. Why not offer up the guide you wrote?? Ya thats what I thought. So why not link to the website you used?? Something as simple as "This guide did not work for me I went to www.haveaniceday.com for my guide, and i recommend it to yall". Much more polite and you wouldn't have gotten your panties in a bind. Just chill out.

i dont know about you guys, but i followed xsmodder's guide and it went pretty smooth. got it softmodded and everything is working dandy. the only thing is i'm not going to xbox live and i'm not putting in a hard drive. at the time being, im just backing up my games via DVD-R.

If you guys messed up, dont blame the faq, blame yourself as you and i know this is just all a risk and experiement. what i used:
went to mIRC got the link to ftp the files. then transfered the files via armax. then ftp'd over and backed up my stuff. i dont know how many times i read his faq.... maybe 10,000 times before i started anything. do your research and you should be fine guys!

This message is for "ILLMAG7"....I had the same problem as you do...but I just used different softmodding files using Splinter Cell...they made new ones that are more safe at www.a4h.us if you wanna check em out...just softmod using those. If you have troubles just email me or something and I'll try and help you out. :D

im back everybody...mom...shez gone. :(

wow...you guys are real...@$$wipes. i mean, come on, i used ARMAX with these saves before, and they HAVE corrupted my game saves. its called using personal experience.

ill be happy to edit my first post so that no one else "messes up" as a cause of this (not sure whys though..)

FlashFXP is quite the best tool out there to FTP. if you are tech savvy i applaud you while using internet explorer, but the problem is, i couldn't have just said: "connect to the FTP using IE"

@xlee and lawndog

thanks a lot guys...its people like you that make me want to keep responding even when people are total @$$wipes.

How do you find out what version is your XBox? Exactly what is Action Replay and how do I get it? What is Ldots Itools SC 1.7 and where can I download it?

Ok, you have a point, but you dont have a point.....I made a reccemendation on his guide because all of the other guids i have read...they all say different things....and NO i am not going to mod my xbox because there are just to many things that can happen....so many errors....If you purchased a new xbox...arount the time it came out....all i can remember was it was around.....$200....that is a $200 investment on a gameing system...all i am trying to do is help.....I dont want everyone reading a bad tutorial and messing up there xbox for good....so before you talk listen to the WHOLE story....
