Could have something to do with an entry in your evox.ini file.  Check out the path i.e.

MSDashBoard   = "c:\msxboxdash.xbe"

it could be your msxboxdash.xbe is called xboxdash.xbe

Its good to have a cp of evo-x on dvd when playing around with dashboard files.

Pesky XBOX error codes explained by Superfro:

Description:

When you attempt to boot, a 'you need service' message comes up, and has a LED style number on the
top left hand corner.  Here is what they mean.

Disclaimer:

This information is a believed to be correct, should be as close as it gets;

Also:

Bootloader stuff you should never see, since if it fails kernel doesn't boot. (thus you see no message)





Code      Who sets it   -   Description

----   -   -----------   -   -----------

0   -   any      -   No error (duh)

1   -   bootldr      -   Unknown exactly, something to do with checking the motherboard

2   -   bootldr      -   Eeprom check failed

3   -   bootldr      -   ??/not used

4   -   bootldr      -   Ram check failed

5   -   kernel      -   HDD not locked (retail bioses require the hd to be locked)

6   -   kernel      -   Cannot unlock HDD

7   -   kernel      -   HDD timeout

8   -   kernel      -   No HDD found

9   -   kernel      -   HDD parameters (PIO/DMA/or size {debug}, certain size minimum
               is required for debug)

10   -   kernel      -   DVD timeout

11   -   kernel      -   No DVD Founnd

12   -   kernel      -   DVD parameters (PIO/DMA)

13   -   kernel      -   Dashboard launch fail (due to missing/bad key, or
               anything else that would prevent it from running)
               and the dashboard didn't specify why it failed.

14   -   dashboard   -   Error loading dashboard (dashboard generic error)

15   -         -   ??/not used

16   -   dashboard   -   Other files to do with dashboard / dashboard settings (specific dashboard error)

17   -         -   ??/not used

18   -         -   ??/not used

19   -         -   ??/not used

20   -   kernel      -   The dashboard was attempted to load and failed; It was a cold
               boot, and the dashboard didn't specify why it failed, but it
               (for some reason) needed to be noted that the dvd passed the
               challenge/response authentication

21   -   anywhere   -   This error says that the machine was booted to display a error,
               basically someone told the machine to reboot (or launch a xbe)
               with this flag, and the error code just means its been rebooted
               by the flag

In closing:

21 was the highest number I could find, I dont think anynthing is past that.  And for the unknown ones, I couldn't find any
reference to them at all, I don't believe they are used.

Evo-x boot ok from HD

[matbou]

i noticed something strange, i explain:

When the xbox is left unplugged for a while, it losts the time and date. It seems to be a normal behaviour. But what is strange: when i boot the xbox, if time has been lost, the original Time/date panel is displayed just before evox load.

In my evox.ini:
[Clock]
JumpToMsDash = Yes

So i guess, that evox call directly the Time/date panel (?). If i'm right it should be possible to call directly all panels in order to be able to configure the xbox without having the 21 error code. What do you think about it ?

Sorry for my english

why dont you just post it here... as other people will be reading this thread that have the same problem...

[switzch]

I had the same problem with the err. 21. also with applications and games on the HD freezing.  it turned out to be a bad HD.

[matbou]

I finally get my dash back.
How did i proceed ? i deleted all the files which were on c: and uploaded a backup of c: given by a friend and the original dash is now available.

Of course evo-x is no longer on my HD, now i use a CDRW to launch it and use xbmp2, yamp and all other cool tools... i'm so happy that i don't want to try to install evox again on my xbox HD for the moment.
