outstanding tut!
i used TEXT's other tut last night (uxe with hdm) and it worked fine!
i wont get into it, but not soon after i fragged my drive (error 21)
a quick question in this thred: can i use this method of soft modding to mod a brand new retail hd?
i have another box thats chipped..
what would be my best option?
Hmm, good question. I've only tested this install on a hard drive with the stock 5960 dash already on it. I'm not sure what you would do with a clean hard drive. I'll go home and format a hard drive and test it. Thanks for asking this, I didn't even think about it. After I test it, I'll post back or somebody smarter than me will give you the answer before I can.

Excellent tutorial
Just one question before I give it a go:-
in your checklist you say
--My CD/DVD drive is connected to the primary slave IDE connection.
Will it not work with the cd rom connected to the secondary master or slave as this way leaves my IDE cable rather short.
Oops. I guess I got a little carried away with making the requirements. You can have the DVD/CD drive anywhere but the primary master. As a matter of fact, every time I have used XboxHDM, my DVD drive was connected to the secondary IDE channel. I've asked HSD for editing control for this thread. If he gives it to me, I'll change that.

Great work Textbook!

Re. your xonlinedash console preference; renaming E/boot1.bin afterwards switches it to the regular MS dash (and vice verca) ... another really nice feature kingroach added.
Re. UDDAE; IMO its major benefit is when Ndure is disabled/de-activated (via the Toolset for full, normal retail MS dash usage) it provides a way back to the softmod without needing to re-open the console (nor needing a game save exploit).

I didn't know about that boot1.bin changing the dualboot to the MS dash. Very nice tip, and thanks to Kingroach for adding it.
Oh yeah, forgot that's what UDDAE's main use was for. I still haven't even used UDDAE yet, and it's been a long time since I've used SCEEE, so I forgot exactly what it was.
