By the way, the code may no longer function if there are files on the harddrive that the ms dashboard does not recognize.  This happened to me.

mutha trucka:  Did you have (extra, modified) files on the C: partition?  It would be interesting to know
whether the MS dash only checks for this on the C: partition or on the other partitions too...

I got the code by reporting that my dashboard was displaying some strange looking characters in the sound track & gamesave menu, but was displaying normal english on the main screen. You have to call MS & tell them whats wrong with your xbox. Then you tell them your name & xbox serial #(if your not registered). After that they give you a code to enter at the dashboard system info screen. Codes are different for each version of xbox. It only formats the E partition.
