Well i softmodded my friends xbox a while ago so he could do halo 2 mods. Well now he wants to mod the maps on the disk so i was doing a hdd upgrade. We got a hdd out of his old computer he bought in 1997. The hdd is a quantrum fireball.
So since his is softmodded i did it the easy way. Get eeprom backup off his xbox, stick the new hdd in my 1.6 xbox, use aid to format drive and install all needed files+saves. Then i locked the hdd to his eeprom. The drive works fine on his xbox now. The only problem is i can't resoftmod it for some reason.
At first the softmod would not show up when i booted it up so i tried reinstalling multiple times, did not work though. I just tried reinstalling it again a few minutes ago and now its doing some loop thing. At start up it sticks or goes to dash. When i put mechassult to boot the softmod installer screen it starts SID, then goes staight to unleashx dash. Then it starts up mechassult by its self then loops it. If i press eject to get mechassult out to stop unleashx from booting it, it makes the disk come out but then the xbox boots back to xbox logo screen and sticks.
So i really don't know what to do know, any help? Btw im using SID 5.0. _________________

Well i dont have a splitter so that wont work. The stock hdd is still modded, its just this one is weird. I think im going to reformat the drive so its blank and add the dash and restart. _________________

Well reformat doesn't work either. It now works if i boot to installer menu and choose the xbe through the file explorer. By itself it still boots to xbox dash....so i dunno. _________________

You could try to update the MS dash and see if that works, but I think that the MS dash on the AID disk is the 5960 (I think thats right). You could also try 007 or Splinter Cell and see if one of those works. I've had the same problem on a couple boxes usin S.C. and I popped MechAssault in and it worked fine. _________________

SC was acting funny on my 2nd box by restarting over and over when in the drive. But the box I softmodded the other day there were no issues. It shouldn't cost u much to go to ur local computer store and get a splitter. If u live by a Frys Electronics they always have that kind of stuff in stock. _________________

Got it to work finally, had to put in AID 4.0 and use the 1 click softmod install or whatever its called. _________________
