does anyone here know what i can do about an xbox that is modded but the hd got messed up. this happened along time ago and now i just have a motherboard with a chip and no hd for it. it turns on and it goes to a smartxx dashboard. can i put another hd on it somehow if the original one does not work at all and if so how do i do this.

You can just get a cheap 50 160gb hdd and just slap it in...then AID 3 disc will take over and reformat the HDD and install all the files you need. _________________ The mighty V6 Passat came to chew bubble gum and kick%^* and shes all out of bubble gum!

what direction are you saving the game to? theirs E F and sometimes G depending on the hard drive size and you can see how much space you have left on your dash ( or maybe dvd2xbox too)

e:\ = 2775mb free
E:\games = the same
E:\movies= same
E:\ misic equal the same space. this are the only options that i have when it asks me to select directory. then i can press A for select, Y for iso mode and < for main menue.

ok i went to dvd2xbox then i went to settings. autodetect was on so it did not let me do anything with f or g so i took it off and now when i go tocopy it shows 3 Es, 3 Fs and 3 Gs that i can use to thanks for the help. i was doing everything from the regular settings not the dvd2xbox settings. i have one other question. soemone told me that i have to add more ram to my xbox if i want to be using memox or the n64. does that go for both softmodds and hardmodds.

im glad i could help yes its true you can upgrade the ram but your hardly going to notice any diffrense for the work you would be going throught but its possible . the ram upgrade benefits more on linux and programs used on xbox to surf the net such as linksbooks and such . _________________ |FTP|Useful Links| softmod vs hardmod questions
