I followed through all the tutorials for SID4 and now have an Xbox with a steady red light. But I seem to be booting into the MS dash and not the EvoX dash I expect a different picture or something. Have I missed a step or am I totally out all togther?

thats not a whole lot to go on. is there an error code? what exactly did you do? does the xbox boot with a game? perhaps the game you tried to softmod it with? if so, all is *hopefully* not lost (without buying a modchip that is )

I used the old splinter cell and transfered all files needed over onto the memory crda and then to the xbox, ran through the tutorial and set it up for dual boot. No error codes or anything during whole install, (all backups made) tried with both dashes and keeping ending up with MS dash and a steady red light. Xbox seems fine though just not getting the evox or unleashx dashes

Aslong as you follow the guides on this site its dam near fool proof I know cause im the fool (Even bought myself a soldering iron once cause I tried to convince myself i could solder my own chip in ) Make sure your backing up the EEprom and the MS dash and its all plain sailing oh and make sure your clock is set like I missed. Final thing is donate to these guys they saved me a hell of alot of donkey work otherwise i would have to go asking for how to use a ftp. Best $5 I ever spent and once I get alittle more knowledge Im sure I will be donating more for further files and skins etc.

That red light indicates that your softmod is in fact installed, and you boot to ms dash cause you need to set your clock, after that's done, press A, then IGR, then you'll load evox or unleash x, every time you power on, unless you unplug for more than 4 hours, then you need to set your clock again.
SID 4 is meant to have this feature to not get error 16, 05, 13, 14, etc...
Enjoy.
As for AID, it's ok to use current AID, just don't try to install softmod from it, since your real C files aren't aviable, and they are hidden. Ever wonder why you look in C, and all you see is your MS dash? that's cause your not allowed to mess with files that can break the softmod, if you want to break it, which i suggest you don't, use DISC.ISO, or AID 3(when it's out), and run tool that has to do with uninstalling softmod that uses nkpatcher system, this will boot another nkpatcher that will disable all safety mounts. Don't mess with files, i don't recomend this!!!
