right bought an xbox off ebay it is chipped (i belive) and it was soft modded with ms dash and evo x while i was out today my cousin had the brillant idea to tidy up my game saves and deleted splinter cell and the linux thing he also somehow managed to format the hd as he (wanted to use avalaunch instead of evo x) now when it boots it goes to a grey blue screen for evo x but i cant install the soft mod and i have no ms dash the only menu options are load dvd and settings
do i need to rebuy splinter cell again and save the game save to my hd then use the aid 3 cd to install whatever i would like to use
please let me know thankyou
also instead of buying splintercell would it be possible for someone to send me the save file then i could ftp it o my box and do it that way ? or does it not work like that
sorry for the questions im new to all this stuff

Everything you would need to save your chipped box is on the AID 3 disk. _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

dprules, I have no idea what that is but judging by the title in the MP3 (which the link states server not found), I'd say it's not helpful to the question at hand nor necessary.
Jim2006 in a stock Xbox, I'd recommend that you set your "boot dash" to C. You can always reinstall to another location like on the E drive, but the idea is to get past your blue screen first.
Do we know anything about the chip? We are shooting in the dark regarding whether it's a bios issue or a softmod going/gone bad.
If it's a softmod, we need to tread lightly for they are twitchy when it comes to messing with a drive, especially the stock drive. _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

hmmm..you dont want to Force start it- just back it up, you can always delete that back up later if you want..but thats not a good idea...oh, make sure to grab a copy of your EEPROM, if you dont have it, you could very well screw yourself over... yep yep..

It will create the backup for you. You don't need to have one in advance.

well now ive gone and done it lol messing about with the xbox and now i get error 5 hd isnt locked when i boot up i did unlock it to flash the eprom but then the power went out i must be the unluckiest dude alive this week lol
if i disconnect the drive and boot with aid3.0 then reconnect it can i use the software to re lock it again ?
EDIT
Just read the only way to lock it again is to install a modchip or i also have a 20g hdd that could be used that was in a pc
if anyone here is based in the uk could i send it u and get it sorted the new hd that is or if anyone could explayn hiow to sort out a new hd i could find someone with a modded x box and get them to do it >??
