You should try burning AID and see if it boots up. If so, then all you really have to do is install a new dashboard from it, and if not............then mess with the switches.
Okay, I'm downloading the AID right-now as I speak. When I'm done downloading I will burn it and put it in my xbox to see if it's going to boot-up, like "TheRealHypnotiX" said. WIll it do any damage to my xbox, if it didn't boot or something..?I will keep you guys updated.
For the guys/gals that are interested how much I paid for , it cost almost $95 including the shipping, not bad, I guess!?!?!
Again, tips and suggestion are still open. Thanks!

AID will not harm your xbox if you are just booting with it. Just make sure you know what you're doing before you use any of the features. It comes with a manual that explains everything. I have accidentally messed my das up with it 2 times.. lol. Then again, I'm not the brightest when it comes to xbox modding $95 shipped sounds like a great deal for a chipped box with a 160gb drive. The drive alone has to be close to that price

ok.. $70 for the drive means he paid roughly $25 for a modded box. Either way, he got a good deal

Considering I've seen stock xboxes in like new condition go for around $120 with a controller and a few crappy games you got a killer deal. _________________
Okay, I got the AID 4.01 and I tried putting it on my xbox and fortunately it AID boots-up from the burned disk. Is that means my modchip is activated? I've use the advance tools to checked what BIOS is currently installed into my modchip and it froze-up! Is there any other way to check the BIOS version?
Since, the AID is working for my xbox, can I just install the AID auto-install to my xbox? what's next for me? Again,s thanks for all the help! I highly appreciate everything. Thank you!
UPDATE:
I played around with AID and tried to back-up my drive C:, E: and F: and I found out that there are some save xbox games on the HD. WOW!!!! I'm really lucky to have this xbox for $95

Hi,
I've got the same chip in one of my boxes, works great. If you have any questions about it, let me know. The fact you are seeing Xecuter 2 means you are running the best bios for that chip. I paid $100 USD for that chip a few years back, so you definetly did well on that EBAY transaction!! _________________ My Setup:

LATEST UPDATE
My xbox has a new dashboard!!! I successfully installed AID 4.01. I installed EvoX and some applications... the process was not that bad. I read the manual that came with it. It was very helpful and straightforward. I have one question though, when I play an xbox game from HD using EvoX, I select from the list and chose a game. The game works perfectly but, when I'm done playing with that game, how can I go back to the EvoX main menu, usually I press the power button to restart but is there a shortcut or any other way to go back to the EvoX menu after playing a game. Pleas let me know. I'm just worried that if I keep turning off and on my Xbox HD will damage or something.....
The best thing that I found out is that the previous owner had 61 xbox games copied in the HD, he didn't erase the games so I was able to backup and copy all of them! Now, I have plenty of games!!! WOW I feel so lucky!!!
I want to say thank you guys for all the help and suggestions. I would definitely, stay and hopefully become a VIP to support this site. Again, thank you!!!

For one dude, get unleashX its a much better dash. Also seeing as the chip has a X2 bios on it already, download the X2_5035 bios off xbins. Its the newest build of the X2 bios and it should be easy to flash the chip again. I havn't ever used a x-bit chip so i dont know bios bank sizes and such but look around. Unless you wanna stay with your old build but its kinda outdated. If you wanna know how to reflash with the EvoX dash then let me know. _________________

Use unleashx because the shortcut back to the dash is L+R+BLACK+WHITE all at the same time, try pressing the black and white buttons a few times if it's not immediate, otherwise off AID just find out where he put evox and then install unleash in it's place. Personally I wouldn't mess around with the flashing of a new bios because theres always a chance of messing up, then you'll have more pain staking things to do. However, it can be helpful to update it also. It's all a matter of choice, so if you do flash it, get someones help who knows how.
