At this time, I would say you should softmod it from scratch using xboxhdm because of all the backing up restoring you did. You said "I deleted my C and E drives and restored them with a modified version using Krayzie's installer", how and what modified C and E from Kraizie's Installer? As far as I know there is Kraizie Uxe Installer and Kraizie Ndure Installer, both are gamesave softmodders not design for xboxhdm. I have not seen a Kraizie Ndure Installer for xboxhdm, so its not as easy to install it using xboxhdm eventhough its possible.
Are you locking and unlocking with the eeprom.bin for your xbox in xboxhdm? You have to, if you softmodding.
Here is what I would do:
Go here and get UXEDM-1.2.rar file by emailing the guy
http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=366428 I've tested this this softmod and its work great in xboxhdm, all it requires is you type softmod and then select 1 or 2, it does the rest. Follow the direction and copy the initrd.gz and the folder to build the right xboxhdm.
Next, make sure the C folder for xboxhdm has a stock(original unmodded) 5960 dashboard.
Make sure you got the eeprom.bin inside eeprom folder.
Then run the make-iso-win.bat file and burn ISO.
Unlock hd and rebuild C partition, then reboot and type in softmod. If you plan on upgrading to Kraizie's Ndure 1.1, I suggest you select 1 for softmod. Option 2 installs nkpatcher which activates shadowc.
Ok lockhd -a now and you should be able to get to evox at this point. I can give you pointers how to get Kraizie Ndude installer later if you want.
