I have looked all around the site and simply could not figure out what was wrong or anything. Let me explain my problem:
I bought Action Replay and the original Splinter Cell last night in order to get AID installed. I used Action Replay to put the SIM files onto the memory card, transfered them to the hard drive, and loaded them within Splinter Cell. No problems what-so-ever. Once this was done I turned off xbox and turned it back on again, this time with the AID cd in there. It loaded perfectly fine. I choose Install dashboards and installed MS Dash (softmod) I believe it said, and also I tried installing EvolutionX. After this I played around a little bit with the settings and such. I restarted xbox and noticed that if i didnt put the cd in the xbox, when the dash board was about to load I would get error 13 which as i saw on your site is a dashboard load error. So I figured I did something wrong. I went back into AID (with the cd in and such) and chose Format / Prepare HDD. I did NOT buy a new hard drive, it is the one that came with xbox. I choose this to have a nice fresh install of AID once this is done. I was able to format all the drives except F + G which was expected since it was mentioned on the tutorial. It said to format all the other ones, restart, then do F+G. So I reformatted all the other ones, restarted, but now I cant get back into AID. I thought that AID ran off the cd so nothing even needed to be on the hard drive (which I still think im right, just not sure why this is happening). Anyways this is what happens now.. ill put in the cd xbox will load and when the Xbox logo is on the screen (and xbox sounds like its reading the cd) it will wait a few seconds and then go to the error screen, now with error 14. I cannot avoid this since I have tried loading the AID cd every way possible and it always ends up with this now. I then thought I would try to load SIM again using splinter cell but the save files are only on my mem card and not on the xbox hard drive anymore, and i cannot get into the dashboard to even put the SIM files onto the xbox hard drive so i can load them if I load up splinter cell.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Well...you have a very clean hdd....nothing on it at all. You xbox is looking for a dash that is now non-exhistant. You will now have to do pirrup's Hotswap. You'll find the m$dash files under his sig.
Once you have recovered your hdd you will have to redo the softmod.
If you want to resinstall the patched m$dash after softmodding, install that before you install the EvoX dash. _________________ Xenium Ice 2.3.1 OS

yea, when you formatted you erased everything, including your softmod. a TSOP or modchipped xbox can boot from AID

Yup...you just door stopped your XBox and HDD until you use Pirrup's hot swap. You should be able to play games (I think) still, but since you formated the drive, you lost the save game on the HDD, which is going to make it tough to get back into the softmod exploit (and your msdash is missing that was your only hope of transferring the save game from the AR to the HDD...grin). I've heard that you can load the save game from a memory card with the 007 game, which you might want to try (different exploit save game, of course). You will NOT be able to boot AID without the softmod in place (which was on your HDD until you reformatted). As for F+G, you will only have those drives available if you put a larger drive in your Xbox, so those are don't care options for you.
