I forgot you did the hot swap, I was thinking on msn that you had did it the AR method as per Retro's tut.
Did you get a backup of C: with xboxhdm, as it should have automatically made one.

Edit: which drive did you format? You've got to be careful with the auto-installers as they can wipe your entire drive of partitions in a push of a button.

Did you manage to ftp into the xbox from your pc beforehand?

i did use ar method like in retros sticky, its just that it had put both unleashx and evox so i thought if i format it first i can get rid of unleash alltogether

To be honest, I'm not sure where to go from here.

I don't know if you have formatted your C: drive and lost the lot, or just lost your three dash' files.

Did you get a backup of your C: drive, about halfway down the tut?

 

[pleasebecool]

i have backups of everything, just not the eeprom

 

[Moriens]

i have backups of everything, just not the eeprom

are they on your pc or were they saved to E: on your xbox hdd?

 

[pleasebecool]

they are on my pc

 

[Moriens]

If you can still ftp to your xbox, isn't it just a case of replacing the contents of your backup C: to your xbox C: or am I missing something? (most probably!)

 

[pleasebecool]

i didnt think you could ftp witout a dash, if you can how

 

[Moriens]

That's the part I was missing lol.
Have you tried?

 

[pleasebecool]

yes but not sure of username and password or the ip address

you are going to have to recreate all the partitions again.

Plug your xbox drive into your PC, then copy all the files of your backup into the correct folders

 

[pleasebecool]

the drive is locked, can i do it with the drive locked

 

[MH]

another option may be to download SLAYER 2.6, this should rebuild the drive for you....also check your PM's

I have hard of the AID causing problems......

 

[pleasebecool]

cannot get slayer to boot, xbox comes up with error 14 instead

 

[MH]

Is it a soft mod you done in the 1st place??

 

[pleasebecool]

yes it was using the splintercell exploits

 

[MH]

DOH!!!!...

Get a Chip in it and Slayer will fix it.....Error 14, is there because you messed with the files on drive...it canny find the dash.,..

 

[pleasebecool]

anyother way of doing it

 

[MH]

only by getting it into your PC now
