Well I have gone to try recreating the CDrive folder in the backups folder on E using the stock files from Slayer's but now when I boot up my XBox it gives me a black screen with green writing saying:

Service required. Call Customer Support.

Plus loads of other languages. It now won't boot any games and doesn't move off this screen.

What do i do now?

Help?!?

OK It's all sorted now!

Dumbo as I am I forgot to reconnect the power lead after changing the hard drives around yesterday. So once connected back up properly I reinstalled the stock C files to the CDrive backup folder on E and then removed the softmod. Then I reapplied it and all seems well

Cheers all,

Daz

I would say the exact oposite. Only start with softmods if you are not new and have a fair deal of knowledge so you know what and what not to do. If you are new and don't want to invest in understanding in what you are doing you are better of with a chip.

Agreed, for about a year and a half I followed xbox-scene and xbox-linux project before I made the move to softmod my xbox. I still screwed things up a couple times but I had the knowledge of how to fix them without even asking how and no harm was done.

Up until then I had been playing on friends chipped boxes and I have to say I'm able to do everything on mine I liked doing on theirs and all it cost me was 5 bucks for ethernet cord (which was a luxury expense that I would've made with a chip too). Softmod my vote.
