Yes, it can do anything that any other mod can do. Just so ya kno, NDURE v1.1 has recently been released, it has more XB live capabilities.

it doesnt matter as you will not be using the operating system. You are booting off of the linux disc you made.

SC uses two gamesaves SC save1 and SC save2. So go to each folder and unzip the udata.zip file. You can delete these zip if you want now. Then copy both save to xboxhdm\linux\E and run make-iso-win.bat, burn iso to cd.

After swapping, and pressing 1, enter. Type xbrowser and copy the UDATA folders in each saves to E:\ drive.

thank you very much Flagmax, ill try that right now

So that on XBOX you will have
E:/UDATA/5553000c/
and
E:/UDATA/21585554/

Depending on how you unzipped, you might have folders like udata/UDATA/XXXXXXXX, well you need to copy the second UDATA over to XBOX. Now you should be able to Start the game and Load the Linux save.

thanks for the info,

for the copying part in the xbrowser do I type "udata" as the file I want to copy and "E:\" or "E:\udata" as the destination on the xbox drive?

I just tried the the linux thing... I booted up with the CD and press 1 then enter... then typed in xbrower and I didnt see a divided screen with 2 pane's like you say... maybe its becuase I didn't hook up the xbox HD i was just testing to see how the program works before I actually hotswap.

Make sure you are using XBOXHDM1.9 and its "xbrowser" without the quetes.

unstoppable77 · « **Reply #13 on:** February 19, 2006, 07:46:00 PM »

yes it is 1.9,

I just tried hotswapping and can't get it to work lol....im doing it in blind mode (xbox is not hooked up to the tv) but I counted and its around 8 secs is when the X fully pops out then a few seconds later MS pops out...
On the PC i keep it in pause mode just before it checks the IDE drives, then I connect the Xbox HD and then I press enter to unpause and it detects the xbox HD but a few seconds later it says primary hard drive failed... any tips on hotswapping?

Yah set the jumper on xbox Hard Drive to Master. Make sure the PC ide cable is Primary Master. Then its a matter of timing. I unplug when I see M|croSoft for about a second or so.
