okay, i recently saw your idea about using pbl/frosty's so a shadowc could be disabled, and incorporated that into it as an "EMERGENCY MODE". as of now my plan is like this: boot to an evolutionx dash, with three options (normal=D:\root.xbe; EMERGENCY=D:\pbl.xbe; Evox Settings).
the idea is that in normal mode, you can't mess up your shadowc, because you never load a different bios.
now on to the real deal, i call it XMU - Xbox Management Utility:
EDIT: okay, it won't fit so here is a link to it.
http://www.mediafire...04e75f6e8ebb871i have tested this mostly, but i couldn't test anything with the F and G drive, but all the E stuff worked.
also, i have to give credit where it is due, i "borrowed" the zip archives from aid, and plugged them into my disc.
and, about the apps, as you can see i split them up into three categories - important (chimp, configmagic, xboxpartitioner, evox), useful, and extra (homebrew games, other fun stuff). other than that, it is just like a mashup of aid and cash, and now frosty's kind of, i guess.
Based on the menu contents, your boot disc does what I wanted and most of what Heimdall wanted as well.
I see that you have incorporated lxhdm's error 5 hotswapping/PrepareHD into the config.xml as well with a mini-howto in the menu.
Looking forward to the completed product.
