Title: Nuked Box Fix!
Post by: mek334 on October 20, 2002, 12:08:00 AM
I will backup C:,E:,F:,X:,Y:, and Z: partitions with original updated xboxlive dash and other files. And i will also backup C:,E:,F:,X:,Y:, and Z: partitions with EVOX dash (without any Xboxlive files)
If i want to play online can i just copy to xbox C:,E:,F:,X:,Y:, and Z: partitions with XBOXLIVE ? And if i want to play backups just copy C:,E:,F:,X:,Y:, and Z: partitions with EVOX ? (erasing previous XBOXLIVE partitions )

As I noted, you don't actually have to reformat the drive or even erase it's contents.
All you need to do is restore from a backup.
In this case just restoring the C:\ partition with the files you obtained would have been more than enought to get things running just fine again.
And you could have updated afterwards.

I'm sure that replacing the C: will fix the problem. I did notice that the update adds dashupdate.xbe and some entries in your saved game slots for account profiles on the E: partition. This shouldn't have anything to do with why the xboxdash.xbe will not work. Replacing the contents of C: alone should solve the problem. The only reason i replaced it all was because i wanted to make sure it worked.

The Xbox will ALWAYS boot from a CD.
So utilize a bootable Evolution-X cd to restore your files.
This is why you should always have a known good Evolution-X CD available, preferably with a copy of your C: & E: files just in case.
