ok thank you kind sir. by the way, the drives appeared again on fxp, so that seems to be alright. I think I will be getting a different emulator, however. As for everythiing else, I can't keep my hands of the xbox. I never play games, I am always with the xbmc. In fact, at some point I think I will do away with the evox dash, but I will wait a bit longer for that. For the moment I have spent the last few hours playing around with icons and such for movies and music, and trying to figure out if I can have a thumbnail for games not on my hdd (since it of course is a stock one) so I can see them through xbmc, but that will get done at some point. One thing I did try was to format my f drive, which didn't do anything. The problem is that I have no way of knowing what my hdd is, since if I open my xbox, my "guarantee" provided by the people who installed my chip will be invalid. But I am guessing it is not seagate since the f drive still appears to be empty. Either way, thanks again for all the help!
