feet14,
I DID have Avalaunch etc on my original HD, but I am restoring it to stock with Slayers and then reflashing with a new eeprom (just like the instructions on the first page, but without using a new HD). I realize that this is a risk, as it's possible MS may record HD serial #s, but I'm willing to take that chance. We'll see how it goes. As of this morning I'm not banned, and it's been a good 8 or so hours since I first went on Live with this new eeprom, new GT, old (reformatted) HD. Will surely post back here if I get banned again.
