Live Will Not Start With Chip Off

First off are you getting the msdash to boot up properly?

As long as you have you mod chip disabled, msdash.xbe is in your bios, and your msdash boots properly the problem shouldn't be your setup. It would probably be a problem with how your installing live.

yep msdash boots up fine. I am installing Live from a backup, not from a starter kit or anythign like that. As well, i just deleted my c drive and replaced it with a backup, installed live, same shit.. Any ideas?

Install Live from an original disc. And, if you are installing Live from a backup, not a starter kit, how do you plan on using it?  blink.gif

Ok, I am getting confused. Are you installing Live from a backup or from a game you rented?

Aswell shanafan, i believe i just need a proper ms dash (before live), because i don't even have any non live dashes, and without that, i can't even update from originals.

Thanks again shanafan

Seems like that is a route I would take. Other than that, really don't know why Live would not boot.

If C:\xodash, do you have update.xbe and xonlinedash.xbe? Probably do, but just want to make sure.
