Ftp Phoenix Bios Loader (pbl) over to your xbox, and load a hacked bios. This will over-ride the shadow (virtual) c:\ and let you delete it to return to a retail state.
Yes, the C:\ you see is the shadow c:\.
No, you can't go on Live! with this, because the kernel is patched, and in a modded state, which will result i a ban. If you set up your live acct when in a retail state, then apply the exploit. you could go on live via cold-booting retail games (powering on with the game in the machine).
The pbl loads, replacing the nkpatcher that loads the shadow c:, thus making the shadow c: "disapear".
I'm not sure for waffletools, but on krayzie's installer it boots with another bios allowing you to see the real C and I assume it's the same. You could ftp in after loading the gamesave and deleting and replacing with the original files.
I tried loading the official 4034 bios with PBL, but PBL crashed while loading it. I then tried loading the EvoxM7 bios that came with PBL, and after loading this, the Xbox appeared to soft-reboot (didn't show the Xbox startup screen but reloaded the game), but after this, neither of the soft mod's save games (SC or Mechassault) would load so that I could delete the shadow C.
I've also tried the EvoX 2.6 for v1.0 Xboxes, but this crashed loading too. Any clues what bios I should try?
soft modding is easy do hot swaping
Get the m8 bios that comes with pblmetoo and edit ity with the included evtool to point to your hacked dash, wherever it is.
By default, pbl boots c:\evox.xbe. Softmods are usually in a different place.
