Title: Restore Ms Dash From Softmod
Post by: kwynjunk on July 11, 2005, 08:54:00 PM

I used the restore msdash option from my softmod.

WHen i try to do this, my light flashes red and says the xbox needs service.  To remedy this I had to reinstall softmod and evox.

How do I get my msdash back.  I only want to do this to change from 4:3 to 16:9.

If their is another way to change to 16:9 easier, I'd be willing to do that to.

(do i have to lock the hard drive? what does lock and unlock mean?)

Thanks in advance...

This may sound dumb, but did you backup the MS Dash wehn you put in softmod?

absolutely.  Its on the C partition.  Everything Else seems to be on E? Does this have anything to do with it.

i've soft modded an xbox today and all works fine but yes, also no m$ dashboard, i didn't back it up as i have the files on my pc, and i thought just if i put all these files into a folder and then ran xboxdash.xbe all work work and be fine, but no error message. does anyone know how to make the dashboard work after soft modding? all i really want it for is managing saved games, and changing the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9, any help on this would be great  :)

depending on what dashboard you're using, you can edit your ini or xml file so there is an option on your menu to go to the msdash.

@OneNutBob:
if you download a slayers disc and use an iso extracting program, you can look around inside the disc and pull out the retail C drive files
