I started this in "Checklists For Fonts/audio Exploits And Pbl" but am staring a new thread here instead.
I did the hotswap almost a year ago. It worked great.
See my configuration in my sig. below.
My XBox has been running great until a few days ago. I was messing around with XPad and boxplorer. I think I must have over written PBL's default.xbe in C: and didn't realize it. The next time I booted up I got the needs service screen. It would only play original disks. I wish I would have had a game save hack saved but I didn't (sometimes I have no brains)
I have my eeprom & Hd keys from Evox .
I used HDunlock, HDDisabl,ATAPWD,HDD_Driver, & HDlock to access the drive on my XP machine ATAPWD shows it locking and unlocking OK.
I have tried to restore set up with HDD_Driver. But now nothing happens at all I can't even play original disks any more.
I tried restoring the original M$ HD backup. But I get the same results the "need service screen” No eerror code.
I have it connected to my router so it uses the time server.
I am not sure if I have screwed up my exploit files, or I have a corrupt BKUP, or or both?

Without an error code, it's hard to figure out what the problem is. Normally on startup, the blob blobs around, and then the big X appears, and then if it finds an XBE (C:\xboxdash.xbe or D:\default.xbe), the MS logo appears at the bottom. If the MS logo appears, it indicates that the hard drive is unlocked, but if it doesn't appear, then it doesn't necessarily mean that it wasn't unlocked. Therefore, your problem could be your HD password, or it could be your dash files.
My advice is to try to get the retail MS dashboard running first, with no exploits installed. If your backup is corrupt, then you can extract dashboard 4920 from Slayer's EvoX Auto-Installer ISO (folder system\c\all). If your filesystem is corrupt, then you may need to use ldot's xboxhdm CD to repartition and format the drive. If it's your password, then confirm with liveinfo (remember to connect your HD and load your eeprom.bin) that your calculated password is correct.
If all else fails, get a mod chip.

Thanks Grospolina you are an insporation!!
I am going to see what Liveinfo does and go from there.
Any one else have a suggestion?
