There is a lot of junk on your C drive which plain and simple shouldn't be there. And a load of stuff which should be there is missing.
I would restore a factory dash and softmod again.
Mike.. is that a factory set of dash files there??

Hi,
So I am having a pretty similar issue here too. I was trying to soft mod my box with AID v4.20 and was getting error after error after error. At last I began the process over by formatting the drive. Re installed and got another error, so I gave up with that and was going to do it on my own through evox's update. I told AID to restore my MS dash, it did something and now the soft mod is gone, and I have no dash. All I get is the error screen. I can load a game, I tried reloading the game save which I still have on the card, but when i do I get the error screen. I don't know if my dash is out of date which was a problem in the beginning even though I updated it. I tried getting on live but also no luck there it would not connect. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks

Ya I realized that it was because I had formatted but after I had I used AID v4.20 to reinstall the MS dash which it said it did, but didn't. It didn't do anything for me, as far as I am concerned that whole App/Installer sucked. But anyways...
I did a hotswap yesterday and it did work. I used another tutorial that involved unplugging the xbox's cd rom drive to unlock it and then used xboxhdm to rebuild the xbox drive from my pc. Since then I have re-soft modded without AID and have had no problems.
This is pretty much the tutorial I used. He wrote a more indepth one, but I cant find it. If you want to check it out, here's the link:

Hello, I am getting the error 21 when I try to install my softmod. But it doesnt continue after I turn the xbox off. It still loads my MS dashboard fine, and plays games, but it continually gives me the error 21 only when I try to install the softmod.
Should I restore my MS Dashboard to retail state? Its currently on the most up to date version.

Yes, I'd probably give it a try. What version of softmod installer deluxe are you using to install it?

Guys,
I've got a problem with softmodding my xbox. All goes well with installing the softmod via a savegame from Splintercell and when i boot up i can see the evox or unleashed dash.
The only thing i am not able to do is play downloaded games or burned dvd's on the xbox. It keeps saying the disc in the drive is not compatible. How the bleep can i make my dvd player work, so i can install emulators etc on my xbox.
grtz,
Leo

I have another way which is using the Linux Live CD. Works for all Xbox's except that you need to open it and you need an EEPROM backup. Other than that, this is an excellent tutorial.

Are you using DVD-RW or R? Some Xbox's can't read Rs but can read RWs.

Ok ... i'm using DVD+R, so i could try to feed it with a DVD+RW. Would exchanging the dvd-player matter or not and if so, can i replace the original with anything else.
Thanx so far !

Leo

Hey I was wondering if you guys could help me out, I followed this guide to the exact word and everything has worked so far except for one thing once I go into the splinter cell game click Linux the click CHECKPOINTS twice the xbox freezes on me.... I read all the posts and I have found nothing that helps. Hopefully you guys will be able to help me out.
Here is where I got the Splinter Cell saves & the other goodies from.
http://rapidshare.com/files/8338270/sid....box-hq.rar.html
I really don't know what to do now. Is it possible that those are not the right files??? If so is there another link that you know of that works flawlessly.
Ok I don't think its' the save files anymore I was hoping that it would be just that easy but I think I might need some serious help LOL :(
I believe my Xbox dashboard got updated without me knowing it... Stupid Microsoft did a patch to fix the Linux crack. There is some hope though if my kernal is less than 5713 then there is a way to convert the box back to D:4920 <--- Xbox Dash board Version.
Do you think this is the problem and if so do you have any guides on how to convert the box back to 4920. OR does the dashboard version not even matter and I'm still over looking something. :( Damn Microsoft!

Right now is your Xbox a stock system?
See here:

Using the above guide as 'Gospel', feel free to understand the process via this video...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_waCGcDMv1M
The following games will work for the softmod process:
a) Any version of the original Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (NOT Pandora Tommorow OR Chaos Theory)
b) The original version of 007: Agent Under Fire or the Platinum Hits AUF with the Serial #: 1448517 (NOT 1448527)
c) Mech Assault with the Serial #: MS02301L on the inner ring of the game disc
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/536595#3246424
Are you sure you followed that step by step? That worked for me and I used MechAssault.
I've modded so much that I can probably do it blindfolded now. Lol.

Yes my xbox is still in its stock state I'm just confused on what I might be doing wrong. I followed the instructions step by step and nothing has worked I have tried more then three xbox linux installers. Crazy ndures, SID V4.0 , and the Xbin ones that you get off of the IRC chat client and everytime I get to the point of clicking Check Points o n Splinter cell the XBox freezes??? Is this because of the microsoft update fix and if so is there a fix.
