Hi,
I have a 1.6 XB, softmodded and have UX as my dash.
Off late, its loading Xbox live instead of UX on start up. I didnt set up an xbox live account before modding, so the screen just stays there and doesnt go away, no matter what I do.
As far as I can remember, the problem started when I booted up the xb with an original tetris worlds game in it. It took me to xb live screen and did some update and I haven't been able to load my dash since.
I can play most of my original games but none of the backed-up ones. (Luckily it still plays Splinter Cell: SAR)
I can see it on my network but can't FTP into it.
Does anybody know what this means and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Are you booting with eject or power? On SID4.5 power will boot to UX, ejct to MS dash. Is this the case? _________________ Hotswap|HDD Upgrade|X3 Guide

No matter how I start, it goes to the live screen.
I had set it up to load the installer on eject. It doesn't do that anymore.
True, looks like the mod got messed up.
Is re-modding the only way? Can I do anything else to fix this?
I am going to try running an AID 3.1 DVD, to see if it loads.
But just curious, whats the sequence of events from when you turn on the power to the time the dash (hacked or otherwise) gets loaded.

The sequence used is quite complicated and I couldn't even tell you half, sorry.
If you can't play backups you won't be able to get AID to boot.
If you can get into your SID menus then you can probably just restore MS dash through FTP. If not, you'll have to hotswap. _________________ Hotswap|HDD Upgrade|X3 Guide

If you haven't already done so, upgrading to SID4.5 may be a good idea. This would prevent this happening again, and would also be a lot harder to stuff up _________________

OK,
Tried running AID disk but it wouldn't load.
Just for grins, I loaded splinter cell and it still shows the linux game save. I am wondering if I can get to the installer again and restore the mod backup.
What do you guys think of that? Is "restore mod backup" the right option?
This is the last option I have before trying hotswapping.
roo465 - Not sure how I can upgrade the installer now?

you can try restoring, but it looks as if you may have to do a hotswap to restore the hdd to working order _________________

OK.
Sorry guys for the late reply.
I tried running the installer again using splinter cell gamesave, but for some reason, the installer screen wont stay longer than a couple of seconds. It reboots the game.
So, I quickly went selected "restore mod backup" option and it completed before the game rebooted.
Thought I had it but when I started XB without the game, it gives Error Code #13. Still, quite interestingly, I can still play original games, if I start the XB with the game inside.
But in any case, I've decided to hotswap.
Got a copy of XBHDM, Torx drivers.
Fortunately, I have a backup of C & E drives. I couldn't find the eeprom backup but I do have the HDD key.
I am thinking of restoring my old modded configuration rather than restoring retail MS Backup and then softmodding again.
Is that a good idea? Will that work?

I think this happens when you update with an xbox live game did you try to just restor your M.S. dash with the aid disc
