Well, being parinoid about loosing my backup info finally paid off, not only is it on my PC but also on disc!
Looks like I have everything in place and ready to create the iso and burn it. One question. Being that my Action Replay card is not working I want to use the SID 5 files and I readd that they can be inserted in the udata folder with the gamesaves but where? They dont give the exact folder to place the files in. Also, this might be a stupid question but I will be able to put this disc in the xbox right? It was talking about hotswaps, and if I am going that far I might as well use a larger HDD right?

If you just unzip the saves it should be a udata folder just take the content out and put it in the udata folder of the E drive.
No this will not work from the xbox you need to run HDM from a PC and if you wanted to put in a bigger HDD then yes this is a good time to do it.

Well son of a gun, I can't believe it worked!
Thanx to your help man I am so stoked right now. I went and got a 180 gb HDD and using xboxhd I was able to format the drive no problem after consulting the tutorials here I got her done. My friends aro going to be so jelous. I was even able to fix an old xbox I had that was stuck in a clock loop! I read in another thread where someone said it couldn't be done but I can testify that it worked like a charm for me.
BTW I was able to find my corrupted files that were on the E that was causing the xbox to power cycle. After I softmodded the xbox I was FTPing over my backed up roms and stuff one folder at a time and restarting the xbox. Everything was fine until I went to transfer over the trainers that I had extracted from the AID 420 addon pack. I think I got a corrupted download cause as soon as I deleted the folder and rebooted the xbox the dash came back like nothing happened.
Thanks again for your help man.
This place rocks!
