What color is your eject button when it is showing you the black screen?
Do you see the Microsoft logo under the X after the flubber screen?
The problem might be caused by some files who didn't copy properly to the C partition.
Not turning off the shadowc before the C is copied is also a frequently made mistake.
regards.

Method of my softmod
The eject button stays green during startup and gameplay(all the time)
I do see the Microsoft logo under the X after the flubber screen.
ShadowC was on the whole time while the files were being copied.

if you used NDURE3.0 or 3.1 and the LED does NOT turn yellow it's a font problem or ernie.xtf can't find NKPatcher (C:\bios\bios.xbe) or incorrect C:\xboxdash.xbe was used

I had this issue because I had upgraded my dashboard with a modchip and a Slayers disk. The old dashboard had left some stuff in the C partition. Due to that, xboxhdm couldn't copy all the files. If I used the xboxhdm file browser, the filenames were there, but the length of the files was 0 bytes.
So I deleted the filler image files in the shadowc folder and copied the missing files over manually. After that, you can try to copy the filler files over again. There purpose is to fill up the partition so that a dashboard update becomes impossible.
regards.

What files will need deleted? Shadowc.img? Is it possible for me to delete these filler files, make another cd without these files, and retry to build a hard drive from scratch? If it is possible, how do I format the drive? Do I simply just unlock it, and use option 5 to delete all the files?
It's impossible to tell what files are missing from your C drive, so why not start afresh? Get clean msdash ver 5960 files from Slayer's 2.7 or CASH 1.1 disc. Put these in your xboxhdm disc under C folder. In Ndure folder, use the files Kingroach Ndure 3.1 generated. Do a rebuild of C drive followed by xbrowser invocation of ndure.htm. You'll need to unlock the hdd before that of course.
