Ok, first let me apologize, Im obviously missing something. I have searched days for an answer to repair this problem, but for some reason cant find it and im sure theres a simple fix...I had a 'friend' of mine softmod my xbox a year ago, it worked fine, loaded tons of stuff on it. Then one day my daughter installed one of the original cd games (mechassault or star wars), it left the xbox in a state where it would only boot to xbox live. I returned the game to my 'friend' and he repaired it. My daughter has 'accidentally' done it again and this time I have no 'friend' to fix..soooo.

I was thinking that these games overwrote the dashboard or something?..sooo, i have purchased an A/R cable..etc...and was trying to re-load the exploit, but the xbox never reads the memory card, it just boots to xbox live where you have account mgmt, new account, and network setup...Thats it! It will play a game cd also. So obviously my question is..What do i do to restore my softmod?..I have over 180 movies on there, and how do i prevent this from happening again?

The shadowc protection should prevent 'accidents' caused by your daughter.

I cant even view the ms dashboard version..step 1 in this process. Can i simply connect the xbox hdd to my pc and have it readable?..I just dont want to lose the existing movies..etc on the xbox hdd, and i know theres a way to fix this w/o doing so.

Thanks

if your exploitable game boots you can load the save, from there you have ftp acces and you can fix your softmod. (asuming you didn't remove the save).

Otherwise you will have to hotswap to make the hd accesible in the pc. do a search. there is tonns of info about this
