ok well i figured out how to fix my problem..1.i dont know why it happend or how(the original problem that is) 2. i downloaded evtool from "the usual places" and created a new boot.cfg 3. downloaded the newest unleashx. 4. installed config.xml and unleashx.xbe into root directory of C: 5. i dont have a bios folder but i found out my SID folder is the same thing, so i insalled the new boot.cfg, defult.xbe, and one other file (evtool tells you which ones to place in there) into the SID folder. 6. i went into dvd2xbox and loaded the default.xbe via the file manager. 7. power down the xbox and open the cd tray to bring up the bios screen or whatever it is called. which instead of loading that screen it loaded unleashx in its place. 8. restarted xbox and everything is normal.
