well here's the deal. i tried to install a new dashboard to replace my old evox and i somehow deleted the bios, causing my xbox to not load up to its regualr ms dashboard (i get the error 13). i can, however, boot games on startup, but i cant boot cd's like slayers. also, i can;t softmod because i deleted all my saves and can't put a save game exploit into my xbox. so then i heard about this hotswapping thing and it looks like it could be my answer. i got a previous answer of getting an X3 CE modchip and getting a new bios, but i want to see if there are any other solutions before i buy. thanx for reading and hopefully i can get any replies soon !!!
