Create s.xtf with binary editor and make copies to s1,s2 accordingly.

thanks for the links - interesting reading and a very likely solution.
Would using Xplore360 not achieve the same result - as with xboxhdm2/installer - if one where to populate the target drive with the necessary files?

If it helps I will write up what I 'tried' and let other have a go & report?

btw - that prehistoric PC (P450/192mb RAM) is a dead duck for testing:
Wont boot from USB (in fact don't think USB is working!) & No CD-ROM. So no thanks
Its going to the dump!

Yes, you can add s.xtf , s1.xtf, s2.xtf with xplorer360 as well.

Here’s my attempt at getting Nudre 2.1 integrated into Xboxhdm2.2.

Why? Well imagine a complete install of a soft-modded M$ dashboard without the need to soft-mod.  

**NOTE**I recommend a 1gb USB stick for this build as Ndure3.1 adds a couple of hundred mb to the XBoxhdm2.2 build and as usual this is for the advanced user…but you gotta start somewhere (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I assume you know how to build xboxhdm2.2 correctly. For this method I chose the Console version of xboxhdm2.2.

Please note this is entirely experimental and may possibly fail. I welcome any comments!

Credit to rmathiot for the Ndure script
Credit to ldotsfan for xboxhdm2

1.   Obtain M$ dashboard files from the usual places. Make sure you know the kernel number & 5960 dashboard is recommended.
2.   Find & Download Ndure 3.1
3.   Create a folder on your PC’s HDD (i.e XBOX)
4.   Put the Ndure3.1 exe file in there and your ‘C’ M$ folder with the dashboard files.
5.   Read the included Ndure3.1 PDF file to understand the choices that you have.
6.   Run the Ndure3.1 exe. I chose:

a.   The core files
b.   Ndure basic, Nkpatcher6, XBL with eject, Clock check
c.   Kernel 5838 (you do know the kernel of the dashboard don’t you?!! Get it wrong & to will boot to a black screen)

7.   Ndure3.1 will create the C & E folders for you.
8.   Copy these folders to your xboxhdm2.2 USB stick and put them in the /hdm/ndure directory
9.   Now boot the USB stick and follow rmathiot’s instructions (at around No26) to ensure proper execution: here
10.   Once you have ‘remounted’ the USB stick, use xbrowser to launch the modified Ndure3.1 script & read the on-screen instructions to rebuild your drive & successfully launch your modded drive!

Brief & untried alternative methods (XBOX HDD needs unlocking by whatever means):

1.   Have a clean XBOX HDD with (known kernel) bootable M$ dashboard. Ignore step 1 & continue. Your USB stick should now only contain the modified Ndure3.1 files in /hdm/ndure directory. Boot as above before & execute the modified Ndure3.1 script using xbrowser to softmod your XBOX HDD.

2.   Or…using Xplorer360 (beta 6) found here: here Follow all the steps above and with your (unlocked) XBOX HDD connected to your PC in Windows, copy the contents of ‘C’ & ‘E’ folders to their appropriate partitions.


Blank screen? Same here. Got right Kernel? Still got a blank screen? You could have a ‘font issue’ – for a possible solution see here

Can u make a USB Edition with Slax Remix?

http://www.slax.org/...&parentID=60839

I can boot with the USB Edition, but Intel Graphics dont work.

[ldotsfan]

Try the Lite edition - which is console based.

[rasputin1983]

i can boot from the USB, but my IDE HDD is not recognised at all, only the SATA drives are found. my motherboard is primarily SATA with a single IDE channel. the HDD is 160GB formated with FAT32 and i'm hoping to use this in my soft-modded xbox. a nyone found success with a similar board?
everything USB-wise seems fine...

thanks

Can someone upload a backup ? The file is halting at 4%

[brandogg]

I downloaded bother versions - GIU and console, and both give me a ton of errors in WinRAR and Windows Explorer - anyone have a different link or a working version?

[scullc]

Here you go folks.
New links for xboxhdm2.2. These have been tested & are working.

Megaupload

GUI: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TX5CWXE0
CONSOLE: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VO2KEJY9

Mediafire:

GUI: http://www.mediafire.com/?yz2cwumwjj5
CONSOLE: http://www.mediafire.com/?mnyyncrxxzc

For the record, I have stopped development on this.

I would be entirely grateful if someone could get this uploaded to sourceforge.

Also - mods - can you update the links here to replace the ones on the 1st post as the (Megaupload) links are definitely broken.

Thanks

Every time I extract the xboxhdm folder, I get a mess of diagnostic messages that all say "Unknown Method in:"
    I've downloaded every mirror of the file and attempted to extract them in three different computers, I've updated winrar, I've extracted to different folders, and I've even ran winrar as administrator.
    Can anyone help me here?

since i know my links worked a few days ago i downloaded biscoito's upload.
i used winrar to extract - sure enough 'Unknown Method in' errors...
i then tried 7zip to extract and it extracted fine.
not sure why winrar is doing that - prob worth sticking that nugget on the 1st post.
mods - can you do that for me (and the links too) on my post June 3rd

Xboxhdm 2.2 keeps freezing when I try to build a new hdd:

It stalls at "Building C-drive", and it's driving me mad. Any advice?

EDIT:At this point I might just find some way to copy a softmod gamesave to the E drive and ftp the c: folder over.
Would that work?

EDIT: Just tried to rebuild the hdd again, I skipped copying the C: folder, but I tried to copy the UDATA folder that contained the softmod, and it froze.
 Nonplussed, I started xbrowser in an attempt to copy the save over manually, and I saw the UDATA folder in the hdd. But when clicked ,it created an exact replica of the folder it was in. It basically made an unending chain of  E: folders.
 Is this related to my hdm problem, or am I just boned?

[scullc]

i tested xboxhdm2.2 ++ and never had this problem.
i have little experience of xbrowser - so cant help you on that one, sorry!
out of curiosity you tried xboxhm2.1 (linked on 1st post)?:

what is your setup?
what are trying to achieve?
is that HDD unlocked already & how has that been achieved?
you could always use xplorer360 to try & load the gamesave files to the HDD - if already unlocked?

[Bomb Bloke]

Regarding 2.2, I've read a few accounts now of people using it to copy even a plain vanilla version of the MS dash to a drive, and having the console boot to an error 21. It seems not all files are being copied over correctly, and filesizes of the transferred versions may be inconsistant with the originals.

Though no one's done any conclusive testing on the matter, it certainly looks like there's an issue with 2.2's file writing procedures.
