I used splinter cell the original and SID 5.01 splinter cell exploit gamesave, but the minute I load the gamesave, it goes to a error 21 screen, but when I reboot everything goes back to normal.

I tried about 3 different games (costly) that are said to work and all give the same response. Is it the games that are doing this? I have "Splinter Cell Stealth Action Redefined" and that didnt work. I searched all over the net for a solution but no luck.

Any advice would be appreciated.

21 - anywhere -

This error says that the machine was booted to display a error, basically someone told the machine to reboot (or launch a xbe) with this flag, and the error code just means its been rebooted by the flag

This occurs frequently when the xbox is unable to boot due to dashboard changes being made (ie Gcue true blue hasnt been resigned, parts of the stock dash are missing - incomplete FTP backups copied to a new HDD for example).

Basically from that and what I have read it is something to do with Xbox Live. You might want to try to http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/557450#3371151
Try the tutorial for "Installing new hard drive"
Basically you'll be wiping your hard disc clean and restarting from scratch.

The way my softmod went is that I used Mech Assault and softmodded to the E: Drive. I had EvoX as my dashboard so I just swapped that with XBMC and the XBMC 360 skin (I am pretty sure of that order)
Now I load XBMC 360 with an option in that to load the default MS dashboard.

I have a Linux Live CD that will do this automatically to your hard disc when inserted into your computer, I just have to find it and if you know how to use these CDs and hook things up into your computer this CD will take you straight from a blank hard disc to a softmodded system.
BE SURE TO BACK UP YOUR EEPROM!
