couple little questions... i've been having so much trouble with the god damn HDD Driver program, first it was the infinite "Invalid File Size" error, then after fixing that with winhex everytime i renamed a file or clicked on a folder the damn program crashes... so tomorrow or later tonight i will be trying the xlinux method.

my questions are...

i have a 4034 dash and kernel... after renaming the 2 .xtf files... i just put bert.xtf and ernie.xtf (from bert and ernie reloaded) into the main directory (cause i dont have a font directory)

then... can i just use the Free-XEvo-X default.xbe + skins folder ??

and does that .xbe file just go in the main dir... (along with evox.ini obviously)

i also have the bert is cheating on ernie dist by the pheonix project... should i be using that default.xbe instead of the Free-XEvo-X one? altho i'm fairly sure there the same it'd be good to be 100% sure...

sorry if that doesn't make a lot of sence i'm just really confused with all this... i have completed the backup of my drive and i can do the swap trick with no problems... i just wanna make sure i get the finer details correct first go!

i would've just gone ahead and done the file transfers with HDD Driver.. but i just dont trust it and for some reason the Audio folder just turned into a whole bunch of weird characters after it crashed once... so xlinux is the way to go for me!

if you can help me with my questions above that'd be great!

Woohoo khirok about time this thread gets pinned.. congrats man.

Krisx. Fellow 4034 dashboard owner.

HDD Driver wasn't an option for my WinME OS. So luckily khirok has the perfect solution for aggravated users of HDD Driver.

You don't need the fonts folder that comes with dash 4920. Just backup the xbox.xtf and Xbox Book.xtf files in the root folder and copy over the exploited font files.

I didn't use the Free-X exploit nor the default.xbe file in it.

All I need was just the Bert is cheating on ernie exploit.

So copy over the Bert and Snuffleupagus files as xbox.xtf and Xbox Book.xtf as well as the default.xbe file with that exploit into the main root.

just don't touch the xboxdash.xbe folder as your xbox will boot that first and try to access the exploited font files. Those font files in return will direct to the default.xbe file.. took a while for me to realize how the process works.. other than that you should be able to load up evox perfectly.

One odd thing about this whole process though.. the bert is cheating on ernie exploit required that you needed a 4920 dash.. but i took the risk as well and had no problems.. if anything i think i had an advantage as that I was able to run the programs from xbins (xbmp.xcommander.a few emus) without even having to sign them with xbedump.

so good luck and tell me how yours runs.

Where can I find Xlinux?

And I have a kernel 4034 with 4092 - do I want to use the bert is cheating on Ernie patch or the ernie and bert reloaded?

Either way, just dump the 2 font hack files into the /fonts/ folder
and the whatever.xbe into the root of the drive, correct?

would be the same w/either patch from the looks of the files

anyone with experience on those versions want to confirm one or the other for me?

thanks

[Khirok]

the 4034 version should work alright.  that is what most people have used so far.

the reloaded patch has a fix in it for the time resetting, so if u are able to use that one, but if not try the original.

thats pretty much the jist of it.  but make sure u backup and rename the font files first though or else u might have a problem later.

i get this error, special device /dev/hdc51/ does not exist when i try to mount it

[Khirok]

did u put it as the master on ur second ide channel?  

if u did then u might need to try again  and make sure u plug in the hd after the ide detection cause i got that error when i didnt.

[dubey]

one IDE has my 120gb hdd and cd drive
the other has my xbox hdd

is this right?

[turokthemighty]

"CODE
mv bert.xtf fonts/

CODE
mv snuffleupagus.xtf fonts/

CODE
mv default.xbe fonts/


This copies the files to your xbox HD and puts them in the right place also.

Well now you have all the stuff on your xbox HD that you need and all you have to do now is clean up."
Don't you have to rename these files?

[turokthemighty]

I dont' know what I'm doing wrong, I've followed the instructions, over and over and it doesn't work.
I'm using recommended equipment and versions and everything, but when I boot the machine it looks like it begins to go into the dashboard but then it just resets.

Ok, but the ernie and bert reloaded RAR i downloaded just has the 2 XTF files in it.

Can I just download EvoX and run whatever xbe it provides? Do I need a hacked dashboard? I'm clueless.

D:4920
K:4034
hack:ernie and bert reloaded
gonna use XLinux to boot it. couldn't get HDD Driver to work

[dubey]

I think im just wasting my time on this. I have a dell so i pause it when i see the dell logo, i have cd drive in primary ide, nothing else and xbox hdd in 2nd idea, nothing else. When i unpause it does not detect the hardrive but when i reboot with it in, it does, by that time it has locked i think.

Any help

dubey apparently you sure as well didn't read the responses to this thread.


And unless you put the exploit files on your xlinux cd .. you'll need your pc hdd (with exploit files) to share the IDE cable that you currently have your cd drive. that's what the mount -t fatx /dev/hda1 /cdrive command is for.

and secondly you need to pause break AFTER your pc has gone through is routine ide device detection stage. you WILL NOT get any confirmation that your hdd was detected PERIOD until the xlinux boots up.

Man read the tutorial carefully once more and the replies as well.

[BoomDivX]

how do you make the backup image using xLinux??

1) a person on the xlinux channel told me to set up like that
2) how am i supposed to know when the ide devices are detected when all i see is a dell boot screen and windows after it?

What the heck are you doing having windows load up instead of xlinux?

If you have access to your pc bios ... set it so that it loads the xlinux iso cd...

You have to pause break after the boot screen. Yeah I know some pcs don't give a screen telling you that it's running its scan for IDE devices.. but you will have to do it AFTER that which is sometimes right before xlinux or windows usually loads. that way it'll keep your xbox hdd unlock for which you can access..

you wont know that your xbox hdd is detected until xlinux loads up. I've said that more than once in this thread somewhere.

Let it all load and type in the mkdir /xbox and mount -t fatx /dev/hdc51 /xbox at the command prompt

if you don't see any errors .. that's when you'll know you can access your xbox hdd

just type cd /xbox the type ls to see the contents.. and you're set..
