i currently have a modded xbox (xecuter chip) running the xbox media center dash.  i have another regular xbox (not modded yet), and i'm trying to softmod it.

i got the splinter cell game saves ftped into the modded xbox.  i'm now trying to copy them over to a madcatz memory card.  i've tried every which way to copy the game saves through xbox media center on the modded xbox and to then copy them onto the card, and onto the unmodded xbox, but splinter cell doesn't see the game save, or the files appear corrupted, or not in the right folder structure.  

is there a specific way to copy these files, or am i screwed with this madcatz memory card, and should get a microsoft one?

Copy them through the MS Dash.

If that doesn't work you can try a smaller exploit like PBL and then FTP Krazie's over when you get FTP access on the unmodded Xbox.

When you push down on the right thumb stick to get to the shutdown menu, choose the top one to go to the MS Dash. If that doesn't work, get into the file manager and browse the C drive looking for xboxdash or msdash.

the menu only gave options to restart, shut down, system info, and favorites..  favorites didn't have it, but i was able to get into msdash by finding on the c drive, and game saves copied over properly, thanks!  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

ugh, now this is embarrassing..

i was able to get those gamesaves copied over, and did the softmod properly.  i was in the evox dash, was able to restart the system, load a backup, etc.  i then decided to boot into my auto-installer deluxe 4.10 (which i was able to do on my chipped xbox) so that i could install the xbox media center dash, emulators, etc.  

i first backed up my eeprom and c drive, but then stupidly i went to the "format" section and wiped out my C and E partitions (since i figured the one-click softmod would reinstall all of that).  so, i went to do the softmod one click, and got an error that it couldn't move/copy a file, i don't remember the exact error.  so, i did the manual "install dash" option, then "install emulators" section.  all seemed to go well as i got confirmation messages, but when i rebooted, i hit a "contact customer service" error, i believe error 13.  

i found instructions on how to perform the hot swap and successfully, got the hard drive hooked up to my pc unlocked, loaded up the xboxmaker application, and got the "all OK, all done" message after both C and E partitions were set back.  however, i had already shut the xbox off before connecting back to it, and then shutting down the xbox to re-lock the drive.  when i went to restart the xbox, the xbox logo appears and the white microsoft logo, but goes into an endless reboot loop.  i am however able to load original xbox discs.

thinking maybe i screwed up by not connecting the xbox drive back to the xbox before shutting it off, i performed the hot swap again with the xboxmaker, got the "all OK, all done" confirmations, and this time i did properly hook the xbox drive back to the xbox before powering down the console (at which time the game i was booting up resumed).  i figured that would have helped, but it's still in and endless reboot loop

disregard, i sold the system with the issue.

i'm still curious as to why this would happen, as i thought the xboxhdmaker program installs the dash properly.

It may have something to do with the Shadow C drive if you used Krazie's.

As you have learned, NEVER use Slayer's or AID with a softmod. Usually the Apps aren't the latest versions anyway. It is best to get the latest Apps and FTP them over.

You can get the stock C from Slayer's and I suspect AID. You would use those stock files for the C drive in Xboxhdm to create a stock MS HD to start fresh from.
