no xbe touches the bios unless nkpatcher.xbe or pbl.xbe.
the advantage of starting over is because your filesystem is completely messed up and without someone that knows what he's doing it will most likely only get worse.

like I said you messed up your softmod files. Most likely your fonts were corrupted. If you softmod doesn't load your bios stays retail and you can't run unsigned code.

Hmmm, I got a copy of SC, and now xbox won't even read original disks. I'm thinking about doing a hot-swap (http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=496263) but don't know if the drive is unlocked since it is stuck at xbox logo. Any ideas?

Removing dvd rom IDE before you power on will usually result in an unlocked hdd for you to hotswap.
