Hi there o' mighty xbox modding ppl! I hope you'll not chop my head off for asking this... so here goes!
I just bought an xbox, with a DuoX2 white chip, and a 250GB HDD pre-installed. The person I bought this from, was even kind enough to install a lot of games and other apps, such as mediacenter, avalaunch +++.
Now, after a few days, I started to back up my games, but all of the sudden, some of the games, and avalaunch wouldn't work.
Then I decided to learn how to install all of the software from the bottom, to better understand how this baby works. SO - my question is... erm... Where do i start? Should I format the disk in any way? Witch software should i start to install. Can some one please give me a kick in the right direction? Thanx a lot in advance!!!

Do you have AID 2.11 on a DVD? I would start with getting it and reading the manual.
250 is big, but have you filled the drive that you were using to back up games? _________________ xbox v1.0 - DuoX 2 - Seagate 160GB - caught fire and is no more

Yup, i think i have it... somewhere... been downloading a lot of different apps lately! I haven't filled up the whole disk, but i thought i just might try to install all of the apps myself, in order to understand more about how these things work. So I don't have to install a new bios or something?
Edit: If it's Auto-Installer.Deluxe.v2.1.SID3.Addon.Packs yuo're talking about, it's currently downloading...

Yeah, definately check out www.aideluxe.com and download AID 2.11 FINAL and check out the manual. That is your one-stop need for all apps/emus/ANYTHING! All in one convienant installer. Hope that helps. Also check out the tutorials section and browse through there, just reading how to do stuff will give you a good understanding on how things work. _________________ XBOX v1.6c

Hei, hvordan er ting i Norge?
Hehe, I've got family that live in Norway, near Lillehammer
Yeah, AID is definitely the way to go, as T-Rizzle said, it has all the apps, dashes etc, even the Microsoft dash, in case anything goes wrong.
C ya,

Ok, so i've burned the iso file, but now I sit here wondering... Should I flash my bios??? I tried to find out what bios I allready have installed, but the "Bios Chech" program that was installed, could not tell me... It just says 1.Bios > Unknown, 2. Bios > Unknown... and so on...
My thoughts are that it probably allready has the correct bios, but what if Im wrong??

Hey,
If you are able to run the AID disc, there should be no need to reflash the bios, your xbox should do everything you want it to (backup games, media centre, etc.)
However, you could update it if you wanted.

Well actually, I'm Australian born, but of a Norwegian father and Australian mother, so I've had quite a strong Norwegian upbringing
I visited the homeland when i was younger, and would like to visit sometime again, but my Norsk is a little rusty, so I'd have to practice
Ha det bra
