I was able to do it before where i can restore un-modded dash and play live using UnleashX, but last night i was going to show my friend that it was possible because he didnt believe me, and when i restored Un Modded dash now i get stuck at the XboX logo screen, i press eject and the screen flickers but still nothing, its stays there for hours on end...
is there anything i can do about my poor little xbox?
thanks in advance for any replies...

I tried putting Mechassult in and reseting the xbox, unfortunately no, it doesn't not go past the logo screen, i have not tried FTP-ing into it but my guess is no i wont be able too, since nothing has loaded yet...

If you have backups of your C, E and eeprom, then you can use XboxHDM to rebuild the drive for you, effectively starting afresh. It will mean however, you'll lose anything that was added between the time of the backup and the time it wouldn't load, but at least you'll have your box up and running again.
Well.. i cant seem to find that CD i was talking about, but i do however have another xbox thats softmodded just like the one that gave out... is there anyway i can use it to make my other one come back to life?
But i do have backups of my C & E, cant find the eeprom though. =(
Ps. I modded both xboxes about the same time, they had the same versions of UnleashX, if that hels any
Do you have the network cable in. as ive seen it hang the xbox on the "X"
Does the microsoft logo show up? if so then you could hotswap and rebuild using HDM tools. but follow the guide to the letter if you dont have the eeprom backup.
you might need to download the ms dash if you dont have a backup of your C drive. HDM tools has an option to fix the partition data i think. so if you have screwed it up. then that mey fix it.
let us know where your at with it all. in the last few days ive used HDMtools to upgrade the hdd's in both my kids xboxs and my one for streaming video to my bedroom. also in the living room. its quite a robust tool. _________________ Xbox V1.3

Nah no network cable plugged in at the moment, and Yes, i do see the Xbox logo screen it stops as soon as the "Microsoft" word apears at the bottom of the logo, i press eject and it looks like it resets but it goes straight back into the logo screen and hangs there again... So in your oppinion should i use HDM tools to rebuild THAT same HD (default 10gig) or should i try n rebuild my new hard drive *(250gig)
My original plan was to swap the HDs but all of a sudden like i said i ran into this problem so im kind of stuck on it, ill try the whole HDM thing when i get back from work tonight and ill let you guys know how it goes...

Yup, well i found out that the reason why my xbox was stuck on the logo screen was because the HD was shot... no more... gone.... and when i tried to use my 20 gig maxtor to rebuild a new one it freeses towards the end of teh process... I get to the part where it asks to rebuild the C drive or create from scratch... i tried both ways and it says Searching for files.... ( i let it sit for 3 hours) and nothing happend...
edit. Have you loaded the dash files into the c directory of the HDM tools. and do you have your eeprom on the cd also? _________________ Xbox V1.3
