i wouldnt think so unless you leave the xbox unplugged for a while or the power goes out. i run the audio expoilt so i dont run in to this crap but if/when they find a fix for the cloop loop i would switch over to the font exploit

Thanks for the reply, but does anyone know for sure.  I definitely do not want to go into loop either, but for the 3 years that I have lived at my home,  I have had one power out, so Ill take my chances on that.  I am just concerned about the hard drive.  Well, when the xbox is off, there is no power to the HDD anyway right?  So Im pretty sure that I will be fine, but I am concerned about when I switch between drives if that will affect anything leading to loop.

no you won't loop if your xbox stays plugged in. The clock is on the motherboard, so it doesn't affect anything if you remove the powersource from your harddrive.

but why are you using a second harddrive to play on live? just install the audio/font switch, and you can just turm offf the font exploit with the press of one buttun whenever you want to play on live. another button press will re-install the font exploit.

I am *EXTREMELY* paranoid about getting my xbox banned.  With the original HDD used to play on live and untouched, there is no was possible I could get banned.

if your box starts to loop with the font drive take it out and put the orignal drive back in and it will start like noting was wrong (go to the clock set menu). once you set the time then you can procede with the orignal drive or power down and procede with the font drive.
