Well as long as you properly backed up your m$dash, you simply could set the xbox bios to boot of eject, and once your hard drive is locked, boot the standard m$ dash and your there, I guess i need more info to be sure your doin it right......if your m$dash does work already, it should be fairly easy....

ok, go into the bios manager, you know, in the settings when you hit start at the boot up screen, set the xbox bios to boot on eject, lock the hd, and power off. Boot with eject and if it boots the M$Dash then your fine.

By googling I found there were 3 critereas that must be met.

1. If you changed the harddrive you have to copy all the original files from the original C: partition to the new C: partition. Don't worry about extra files from your dashboard etc... just make sure all the original stuff is in place. The original BIOS needs these files and Live will verify their existance.

2. Make sure you lock the harddirve. The original BIOS will not boot of the HD is unlocked.

3. I believe you have done this but make sure you set the setting in the BOIS to enable the original BIOS to boot.

Good luck, I finally got in and was not banned...

Hmmmm... I've got the exact same setup and get the same error 13. I have: X-chip w/ Evox 1.2 BIOS orlginal HD (never unlocked etc) When I select boot to original BIOS via the X-chip menu or a predefined button, I get error 13 screen everytime.  Is there some issue with the X-chip Evox 1.2 BIOS or could this be a hardware issue? Using Evox BIOS, everything is hunky dory (even to xbox dashboard).

When you installed the dashboard, did you allow it to format the drive? If so then you lost your original C: files. I'm sure you made a back up as instructed, correct? If those files are there then you got me there. You could try the X-Chip forum off their site.

Same thing here.

1.2 evox bios.
1.0 xbox.

I don't even have another dashboard installed, and get error 13 every time.

With the 1.1 bios, everything worked fine.  Same thing with my friend's x-chip and 1.1 bios on his 1.0 xbox.

I'm thinking there's a small bug with the 1.2 bios, and hopefully will be fixed.  Otherewise, I might go ahead and reflash with the 1.1 bios.

what is your xboxdash named, if you renamed it , it has to be xboxdash.xbe for the boot to work............

If you're asking me, I haven't renamed any dashboard.  I only have the MS dash installed.

Guys, let's go back to the basics and try and work from there. From my understanding, error 13 means there is a error with your original config. A kernel error to be more specific. If it were me I would;

1. Make sure my original BIOS chip still works.
2. Make sure my original files are all in place (copy them from your back up)
3. Make sure the harddrive is locked.

If this didn't work I would probably remove all mods, stick in the original drive and see what that does.

Make sure you don't have the eject button mapped to anything if using a 1.0 box.
Not sure if it applies to this problem, but i do remember reading some posts where people had problems with eject button assigned to boot a bank.
