I did everything the way the tut said and my xbox boots up to the microsoft logo and stays there, it doesn't boot an exploit,dash, or anything. Not even an error.

QUOTE
Install Exploit 2 (Un-Partition HD *Needs EEPROM *Requires Locking)
All you need to run is Option 1 and it will wipe the complete drive, partition & format the drive, and then copy the CDROM\C & CDROM\E to PriMas\C & PriMas\E (when prompted type yes ). Then drop to the menu again.

Resume
After it is finished, your xbox hd will be ready, so hit Option 8 to drop back to the prompt and type
poweroff


After I "dropped to the menu again" The tut says resume, I hope I didn't have to do anything else because I dropped out of menu and typed poweroff because I don't know what you meant by "Resume."

Please help, thanks.

The clock isn't on the HD, it's on the motherboard.

If you have an ancient softmod which suffers from clock problems, use xboxhdm to install NDURE instead (rebuilding the HD is not needed, just replace the contents of C and any dirs on E used by the softmod) as modern softmods like NDURE function perfectly whether the clock is set or not.

see i can hotswap like a mother... and restore the files to normal with no probs; it's just the actual mod that's eluding me. everything ends up looking good until i reboot it and get nothing. been tryin' it off and on for the past year. i get tired of it not working and then restore it again. lol

as for the hotswap, what works really well (for me) is pulling the dvd cable before start (which'll throw you an error when you do start); the instant the button led flashes red, pull your hd cable. i know it's been repeated several times through these pages, but i figured... what da hell.  laugh.gif  we're up to around 20? if you end up with a misinstall and can't boot this way  rolleyes.gif  i've also done the middle of a soundtrack trick (this one you'll have to search for) i've done these without a monitor, you'll get the feel for it.

i just wish i could talk as confidentally about the actual mod. lmfao. well... i've got some hunting of my own to do.

Make an apps folder and extract the xbmc, and ftp into the apps folder.

First post wooooooo. Thanks, DaddyJ, for the awesome tutorial. I just purchased an Xbox for the sole purpose of installing XBMC, and this thread has helped me a TON.

I've run in to an odd problem, though. I managed to get the Xbox hard drive unlocked and followed the instructions on backing-up the existing drive and copying over the C and E drives from the CD-R I burned. However, when I re-attached the drive to the Xbox IDE cable and restarted, it ran the flubber intro, "Microsoft" showed up at the bottom, then the video dropped out for a split second and came back with the "Your Xbox needs service" Green Screen Of Death. I have a version 1.0 Xbox from November 2001, so there is no error number displayed. Restarting multiple times both yesterday and today offered no change.

I've tried re-connecting the drive to my PC (the drive is able to be read and written to) and re-copying the data from the CD over, with no change to the problem. I'm using UXE v0.2.2 and followed the .bin instructions as listed in the readme. The contents of the C and E drive folders on the CD I burned are as follows:

\C\xboxdash.xbe
\C\fonts\bert_generic.xtf
\C\fonts\ernie.xtf
\C\fonts\s.xtf
\C\fonts\nk\devz3ro
\C\fonts\nk\nkpatcher.xbe
\C\fonts\nk\apps
\C\fonts\nk\apps\detacher\default.xbe
\C\fonts\nk\apps\isoripper\backup.cfg
\C\fonts\nk\apps\isoripper\default.xbe
\C\fonts\nk\apps\shadowcmaker\default.xbe

\E\root\default.xbe
\E\root\evox.ini
\E\root\skin\project_mayhem_ii\loading.jpg
\E\root\skin\project_mayhem_ii\menu.jpg
\E\root\skin\project_mayhem_ii\skin.ini
\E\root\trainers\ (empty directory)

I made sure to copy both the C and E drive contents from the CD over to the Xbox drive. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem might be, or anything I could do to try and identify the cause? I am a complete noob in regards to all this, so thanks in advance for any help!

I seem to have a problem with hotswapping:

I've hotswapped twice now (first time for inital softmod, second time to try and fix an UnleashX install - which didn't work).
For some reason, I seem completely unable to hotswap any more. I know the hard drive is working, as it loads game saves etc fine, but I must've tried 10-15 times to hotswap, without success.

I can't get into the MS Dash (though, like I said, I can play games fine), so I can't use the rip-song-play-song unlock method (which I used for the first hotswap). I can't quite remember what I tried for the second hotswap, maybe Error 12.

Anyway, so far I have tried:
Error 12 with no power to DVD.
Error 12 with no IDE to DVD.
Error 12 with no IDE or power to DVD.
Hot swapping on Red led (how accurate does this have to be? is it just a general timing, or does is have to be exactly on the switch to red?)
Hot swapping before white MS text on startup

What seems to happen is that whenever I hotswap to the pc, the pc suddenly refuses to recognise the cd drive (which is in the IDE slave position, the Xbox HD is in master). This seems to happen whether it's before I choose to boot off the cd (at which point, it either boots into Windows, or tells me no NTLDR - or whatever - found on the disk), at the Xboxhdm prompt (where hitting 1 just causes the pc to freeze) or once it's booted into Linux (when I try to run xbrowser, it tell me to put in the Linux disc)

Is this a hotswap problem, a problem with my disk, a problem with my pc, or a problem with my Xbox hard drive?

Thanks!

What kind of computers do you have to have to do this?  Can you use a Windows ME?

You need a computer with a standard ide cable long enough to reach your xbox, a cdrom, and a keyboard..  Your primary master ide cable is probably (almost positively) plugged into your ME drive, and thats typically unplugged to go into the xbox hdd..  The OS boots from the cd, and its Linux baby..
