80GB HD.
Throwing caution to the wind, I'm going to go on Halo 2 with my Ndure softmod installed. I'll let you know.
The scan is done in background, there's no text telling you it is scanning.
However, when I first tried to make a custom game I had to wait for it to finish checking my files.
Alright guys. I've got a Ndure modded box with an upgraded drive (120 gigs) with a couple of hacked xbe's on C and dashfiles on E. I deleted the update folder out of E that I'd already downloaded from 1.1 and the maps, just for safety. Connected, and not banned. I'm on matchmaking right now after redownloading every update and free map.

The update is for sure scanning your cache, and clearing it. When you go back on all your menu options are reset to the top (wherass before if you were playing team slayer the night before and got on the next day it would still be on team slayer)
Just a heads up if anyone noticed
Try HALO 2 for about 3 hours after downloading the update.
System is heavy modded with a softmod, with tons of apps
on the C: drive, and Linux on the E: drive.
No problems, everything ok.
My HALO 2 folders are 100% original.
x3 with 160gb hdd and clean C:\ , a little stuff on E:\. no problems yet
note: i cleared all of my cache
it is 12:13 am in CA. I dnld the AU. and i played about 3 matchmaking games. during the 3rd game i got a Start Troubleshooter. I thought i was banned. I hit the start Trouble shooter and it checked for ip and cables and DNS and then xbox live everything was ok besides xbox live one it went to a Network error saying a list of things i could do to fix it.
I have gotten my old GT flagged before my old that is and i remember what it said. But this didt say anything about a modfiy or software. it was just a Network error. so i came down stairs to see what was up with the router and it seemed fined so I went on the computer to see if the interent was working and it was. So i was bogled. I am gonna wait and see what happens tomorrow. In my signature says everything that is on my Xbox. FYI this was my new GT is a completely new one with new eeprom and new hdd have been on xbl for about 2 months now with my GT.
@dude - this happened to me the night before the update was released. i think MS was having some server problems, or you (and me) were logged in with people that had really bad connections. maybe a combination of both.
@halogod - why don't you enlighten us with what is installed on your xbox? mod chip? soft mod? did you have modified maps and all that other stuff Bungie was warning people about?
*EDIT: BTW I got the autoupdate last night at around 10:45pm EST. Before I DL'd I had my Xenium clear my E:/CACHE and format X, Y, Z to clear them. I also delelted from the MS Dash all the "game saves" from XBMC, Emulators, MAME and Avalaunch; just to be on the safe side. I also erased the Map Packs that I got. I will reinstall them today from my Map Pack Disk. Everything I have is stored on F:/ and G:/ drives, nothing on C:/ or E:/ (except Xenium skins on E:). My box boots from F:
ok i checked in morning and i logged in fine i played a game or 2 with out problems. Sweet.
Ok, then your account is banned from Matchmaking. This was the warning they gave out before the AU release. Sorry about your luck, I'm sure it sucks. But you should still be able to make custom/arranged games with friends on Halo 2, but your level ranking will never increase (i think).
As for the rest of Live service you should be ok, but who knows what info Bungie is turning over to MS after the mighty Banhammer gets finished. So enjoy the rest of what Live has to offer. Not sure what else it has, since I only really do Halo 2 and a little Republic Commando.

all those shit talking cheaters have met their fucking d-day... i am fucking estatic
Got the update yesterday,
Today I logged on with my modded xenium 1.6 160GB hdd xbox and was able to play a game no problem. Well, I suck, which is a problem, but I was able to play.
logged on a few hours ago, got the update, ran mm just fine check my sig for my xbox. A guy from bungie posted that what this update really did was make the banning for cheating automatic, like you dont have to post gt's and then they dont have to review it it just see's the file and bans. They did a great job.
There's no garuntees at all, but it looks like if you don't have modded content, you don't get banned.
