for some reason i was following someones tut and it told me to replace my E drive with XBMC and now my xbox won't load up to a dashboard. i need to know is there a way of getting my HD password to run it through my PC cause i made a back up of my E file before i did it. if anyone has any idea how to fix this i would greatly appreciate it. thanks to anyone who can help in advance

i never saved my eeprom and i just backed up what was in my E drive at the time. i can't get into my dashboard at all it freezes at the microsoft screen but i can read games and play them. if there is any other way to make a backup disc and put it in the xbox and let it read byu itself that would be great. thanks.

Softmod?? if so you probably have your eeprom among the backup/dashboard folder files. If it's reading burns then find a good softmod installer disk, sid4 I think everybody uses now and follow one of chunks's guides..

You have just cleared everything off E: not deleted the partition? whatever.. the file manager on sid will show you what the score is.

If it's a chip job just grab any dash installer disk and start again.

XBMC crapped out on me over the weekend, and that was running as an application.. corrupted all my apps and films. Renamed the entire F: partition with illegal characters... I don't like it as a main dash.. I think it's still way too unstable.

hey..varnull the idea you gave me really put my hopes up. but as now i am stuck again. i can't seem to get the sid4 to launch off of dvd and there is no other way to access my hd. i even tried to do a hotswap but i don't have the right size cable to connect to my sata or whatever..cuz i got the small wires. but if you know a way to have SID4 launch on my xbox through dvd that would be nice. thanks a lot.
