Thanks for answering that ? Now the other thing is i had XBLive login disable = enabled. So whats the deal with that. I did start it up with halo 2 in there and it logs in automatically. I dont know whats going on but this is a big pain in the ass. Anyway thanks for the offer for the eeprom and hdd but i already ordered one last night. I think i might just buy another xbox and keep it stock so i dont have to play these f@#$%&* games with M$!!
