Wait, also how would I copy the Dual Boot Softmod file to the Hardrive of my Xbox if I can't access the original MS Dash?

Well you could put the MSDash on a data DVD. And launch Xbox Media Center and run "xboxdash.xbe" and then do what you would normally do to transfer over game save files from your PC to Xbox.

If this is inconvenient or you can't do this, there is a program called Xbox Save Manager and works like an FTP program, meaning your must be able to connect your PC to your Xbox and send over files through FTP (file transfer protocol) while you are on your modded dashboard which I think you said was UnleashX. Either way your gonna need to get the save game files or The save manager program or both.

PM me your email and let me know what you need. And remember to mention whether it's the PAL or NTSC game saves you need.

Hello,
it is possible to unrar the file -> ms-dash-mik3h.rar
and burn it on a cd-rw and boot it from the xbox?

also how could i ftp into my xbox if i dont have a modified dash?

I recently purchaed a 25ft crossover cable to be able to connect to xbox though ftp,
im using flashfxp and a roadrunner modem. i dont have a updated dashboard either just the msdash
everytime i try to do a softmod using splintercell and action replay saves i keep getting a black screen or a error 21 screen.

also I have the files from Krayzie Ndure Installer and SID 4.0 Nknave

neither one works, im using action replay considering its the only memory card i have and own.

alot of them just goes to a blank black screen while other produce a error 21 screen.

any help is greatly appreciated.

Probably won't work on a CD, so you'll have to put it on a DVD-R.

Also make sure that you are using PAL saves for PAL games and vice versa with NTSC. Also make sure you are NOT using the platinum/classic edition of the game, use the original version of the game.

Also a temporary FTP link is opened once the SID installer is loaded.

Sorry, been at school all day..

Use a good quality data disc. Verbatim/Taiyo Yuden or something, poor quality DVD-Rs will not work well with the Xbox.

Once you've done that, use the file explorer in XBMC or on your dashboard or on another file explorer app. And then simply copy over the contents of the RAR file over to the C partition.

It should be burned as a Data DVD, and then uise a file explorer application on our Xbox (some dashboards already have this) then copy the contents over to the C folder. If you can't access this, then let me know I'll help you get a file explorer tool on your XB.

I don't think you had to unlock the drive. You can do it with a file explorer like I mentioned previously. Try re-locking and let me know how you get on.

name0 - You'll have to find a way of putting the splinter cell file on. If you can load the modded dash, you can download a tool called - "XBSM - Xbox Save Manager" which lets you connect to your Xbox and transfer save files, which you could do with the splinter cell file. Otherwise youll need to get action replay with the memory card or something an find a way to transfer the game save on.

trav_555 - What do you mean when you FTP it doesn't let you transfer files? Are you sure you are connectd? What FTP software are you using?

ssbs - You have two choices. Either - -Get a friend with a modded xbox.
-Unlock his hdd with eeprom management from a slayer evo-x cd.
-Than, place his hdd in your xbox.
-Boot with your chip on.
-Now the xbox DOES find a dashboard when you boot in original mode and you can set the time in the msdashboard clock settings.
-Shut off xbox and remove your friends hdd
-PLace his hdd back in his xbox and lock it again
-Install your hdd
-(clock has been set) So boot up with slayer cd.
-Install normally whatever you wanna install
-lock hdd

ie. You have a modchip Which will not boot your friends xbox (1.3) - Prepare the boot CD with the required setup to flash your friends modchip with the 4979 bios. Make damned sure you know what you are doing here as if you mess it up you may have just messed up your friends xbox. Assuming this first flash went ok, remove the chip from your friends xbox, insert it into your own and boot to the same CD. FTP into the xbox and repair/replace the dashboard files. Sometimes if you cannot get the dash to work, but you have a backup at another location it may get a little more complicated. (it did for me) In this case you need to be able to boot at another location but your friend will obviously not let you keep his modchip indefinitely. In this case after booting your PC with your friends modchip, you hotswap the chip with your own and flash your chip. Your chip will not boot your xbox from a CD.

B. Your modchip can boot your friends xbox. Insert your chip into friends PC, boot to CD, flash modchip. Insert modchip back into your xbox, boot to CD and FTP into the xbox to repair/replace the dashboard files.

Or, if you are using the modchip, this should let you bypass the Xbox bios, with the chip's own. But are you using a softmod?

If you haven't already tried it, then yes, trying putting the dashboard files and using a file explorer to transfer them to the C drive.
