Why is it that when you choose "Reboot" from either the Avalaunch dash or UnleashX, does the system reboot and come back up with the dash in "green LED" mode?? You have to power down and power back on to get dash back in "red LED" mode.

Tried countless times, over and over again to try and get my F drive to be seen as it should but couldnt get it done. Didnt have SID 3 anymore, so i ended up trying out Krazie Ndure Installer 1.0. Worked like a charm, got reads my F drive the way it should, dual boot retail works flawlesly. I kno they are pretty much the same, xcept for certain features and what not. But SID could work for me and Krazie Ndure Installer did.

Thanks anyways Smile

Having the same problem as pablizzo:

Alright, let me explain what my situation is. I know this is going to be a little long, but I'll try to be as precise as possible.

I've had a 120GB hard drive in my softmodded Xbox for a while using Ndure. A week ago, I saw the Knave SID 4 Ndure installer ("new breed of softmod") and wanted to check it out. I restored my C drive to retail with a backup and ran the installer. I was impressed by the additional features and that it seemed a little more safer. I installed it and it worked perfectly.

A few days ago, I bought a new 250GB drive and wanted to throw it into my Xbox. I booted up xboxhdm, formatted the drive with one large F partition. I copied my original retail files over to C, copied all my files from E and F over to E and F on the new drive (using xdsl - I need DMA, baby!) Everything copied over perfectly as expected. I locked the 250GB drive and threw it into my Xbox. My familiar UnleashX dash booted and the Ndure exploit was working just as it was before. No problems.

Then I noticed that none of my copied games were there. Actually, F looked like it was totally empty, saying there was about 27GB of space on it. (This makes sense as I had somewhere about 90-100GB of files on the 120GB drive already.) I was considering simply formatting the drive and starting to copy everything back over again like I had before. But I had a few ideas.

I started up the Ndure Toolset and looked at the file manager and noticed that suddenly, the full 250GB drive was now showing, and showing me the correct amount of empty space as I expected (about 140GB). I tried running a few games from the Ndure toolset and they all worked perfectly. Rebooting back into UnleashX from the toolkit and it appears that everything was gone again.

It almost seems that there's a shadow file for my F drive with the way this is working. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the softmod through knave's installer again (launching it through Ndure Toolset) and it has changed nothing.

So, what do you think is going on here? Is it just that the softmod is loading up a BIOS that does not support over 137GB? Why would I be able to see it after starting the Ndure Toolset? Do I need to replace the BFM BIOS being booted to one that has been hacked to support larger drives (LBA48)?

Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Ok, i'll be making some new adjustments, and updating SID 4 to it's max extent on the next release, hopefully we can get both PAL 2 and 4 to correctly set video mode.

As for your problem regarding the content of F and G, etc, this is the weirdest thing, yet you are the second 1 that has come up with this.

I really don't know, mb nkpatcher 11 is buggy on some machines, that's something that i don't fully understand, but so far for me and my testers we had everything good, intact, both F and G were doing just fine.

The reason why krayzie's Ndure doesn't have any bugs, it's cause it uses Nkpatcher 10+, it's official, and it's bug free as i assume, if none of the newset nkpatchers work, i'll be forced to downgrade to a more stable nkpatcher, some things will be different, and 1 of them as we all know, you can only have 1 dash target, and i'm not sure it uses the rescuedash.

MultiLaunch would work, but it sucks.

Now I'll be updating SID 4 really soon, and here are some of the changes.

1.- Will be using Unofficial NKpatcher 11 -02 (current has nkp11-01), this will allow you to create any kind of fily, even dummy, to it's corresponding unmount for anything that is for your liking.

making the following files will give you the following features.

E:\shadowc_off.img (or *.bin, not sure yet) will unmount virtual C, and real C files will be aviable.

E:\virtual_eeprom_off.img or .bin (not sure of the name yet, as i got this not to long ago, so i'm still working on it's new features., will unmount virtual eeprom file loaded from true C. (this could help, but can also make your xbox hdd vunerable to unlocking.

SID 4 Menu will be changed a bit as well as your final install screen.

1.- SID 4 will not automaticly patch your eeprom, that will be optional and it will be a separate menu.

2.- will add a dual boot, that consinst of booting tray open C:\SID4\mod2.xbe, this will be something unclear yet, but it can allow you to either boot pbl softmod, another dash, it's all up to the advanced user, and it will be passworeded with ps: xboxhq for n00b preventions.

Last install menu will have a change so, you can choose to do the usual process it does here, but if it freezes, you can use the other feature, of course you'll have to stop the process where it froze with the "back" button.

I can't think of much right now, but i'll see what i can come up with.

Another possibility to fix the video mode, is if NKPatcher supported the force of video mode, so you can build 1 xbe to be pal and 1 xbe to be ntsc, that will save some pain on most PAL xboxes.

I installed the softmod using AID 2.1 (with the help of
T-Rizzle), I was wondering if it was worth upgrading with SID 4.0. I don't use Live! since there is no service in Costa Rica. But I'm having problems with a MS Double pack game (top spin/ncaaf06) and I read somewhere that having a virtual C drive would solve the problem (no idea tho).

Should I upgrade?

I attempted to download SID 4 through the link: http://www.aideluxe.com/index.php?cmd=downloads&op=get&id=12&mirror=1
I got that right from the official website, but when I click on the above link, I get an error saying "Torrent does not exist". Was the file removed? If so, where else can I get the torrent file?

Thanks in advance.

I tried the link from my previous post, as well as from the website(hard refreshed to be sure), and I still get the same message at the torrent site. I hate to be a pain since I'm so green here, I'm just very eager to try this tool Smile
