1- How to remove the clock check or let it keep the right time? It's annoying to see it every time i unplug the power cable.

It's doing this because you selected it when you built the files!

QUOTE

Softmod and nkpatcher options:
- boot xbl dash with eject button
- enable clock check

Not sure how you disable this, but I suspect that System - NDURE Toolset - Install Menu - NDURE Basic will fix it.

QUOTE

2- How to let the modified dashboard start with both eject and reset buttons? I thought that eject button would have started original xbox dashboard, not xboxlive that i never used (no money to do so tongue.gif)

Again, it's doing this because you selected it (- boot xbl dash with eject button)!!!! Go to System - NDURE Toolset - Install Menu - NDURE Basic

3- Is uddae needed to have a fully working softmod? As far as i read it is just a different method to softmod xbox, right? Then what advantages/disadvantages brings? (you can also use technical words)

It isn't needed. It just gives you another way of getting in to the Xbox if the NDURE softmod goes wrong.

QUOTE

4- While doing the softmod with ndure, i chosen to just replace existing files. What would happened if i had chosen to delete the whole c: drive and then copy ndure files? just better fragmentation or it would have bring me some problems?

Shouldn't make any difference. I'd always delete first because I can then be certain that there's no remnants of old softmods on the disc.

QUOTE

5- Why Xbox has so much drives? C: ->operating system, but the others? i see also D:, E:, X: and Z:, why they exist?

Because it needs them! C is the MS dashboard and other "operating system" files. E is gamesaves and other stuff, and where the softmod dash (and apps) go. X, Y, Z are cache drives.

QUOTE

6- Why ndure works even if it gives me a cp input/output error? i hope it didn't omit something.

No idea.

QUOTE

7- Lastly, if you have a great patience, can describe the directory structure of xbox? where are the dashboards? and the bios? the kernel? etc...

Dashboard is in E:\dash\. BIOS and Kernel are the same thing, and are on the motherboard, not on the disc.

To disable clock check and to boot normal xbox dash with eject , delete these two files from E:\NKP11\ folder. Delete clock.xbe and boot1.bin.

The biox of the xbox is in C:\bios\ folder. MS dashboard is C:\xb0xdash.xbe, hacked dash is in E:\dash\ folder.

use this tutorial http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=244043

on the 3rd step you dont need slayers do this

1 go into the E:\ndts folder and select the default.xbe

2 now look around until you see the eeprom backup option and use it to backup the eeprom

3 now ftp into your xbox and back up the C:\ drive and the E:\ drive

4 once everything is backed up look in the backup for the E:\ drive and find the folder named NKP11 there should be a eeprom file in the (make sure its named eeprom.bin if you have to rename it then do so)

5 now just put the drive backup contents where they go for xboxhdm and follow the rest of the tutorial

Thankyou very much steveo, now it's all clear!  So the eeprom is the key needed to unlock the hd?

Last 3 questions (i promise):
- If i got right, an ndure softmodded xbox started with the eject button searches a default.xbe file in the nkp11 folder. If it's found then xbox use it as a link to select the dashboard, if not then xbox runs the MS dashboard on the "virtual" c: drive right? So if i put in the nkp11 folder a default.xbe file which links to e:/dash, xbox at boot will be linked to my modded dashboard?

- If i try to open settings_adoc.xip from unleashx i get a read error. With other .xip archives it works ok. As you know i didn't ever used UDDAE to softmod xbox. Is that error normal?

- Now that eject button boots on MS dashboard, i'm cutted out from xboxlive dashboard: if from MS dashboard i select  an "xbox live account" it doesn't load and brings me to the previous screen. Did i do something wrong?

Thankyou again for your great patience

You can change your xbox boot options in the NDTS folder using the default.xbe> Your dash should boot from The E:\dash folder

I would not mess with anything on the C:\ or virtual C:\ drives because you can mess up something really bad by altering the wrong file or folder

You change the boot options to boot straight to the XBL dash with the eject button using E:\NDTS\default.xbe
