Good Morning All,
I just bought a MS refurbished xbox. I want to upgrade the HD and softmod it. I also want to play it on Live, which from what I read, is possible with the new version of the softmod. So I have a few questions...
1) Since this is a MS refurbished xbox, is there a way to tell if it's been on live before, thus if the HD's serial has been recorded with Live, it will ban me because of the change.
2) From what I've read in the foums, the new SID Installer is being released soon. Should I wait for that?
3) The SID 4.0 installer doesn't seem to have the ability to patch your dash to MS's 5960 (or whatever the latest is) like the old version of SID installer. Is there a reason for this?
Thanks for the help.

1) This is something you have to find out on your own, but the best way to know that, is to not enter xbox live after you have your hdd upgrade. (you may find someone to give you or sell you an eeprom for you to flash to avoid getting banned.
3) No softmods have the abiblity to patch TO ms dash 5960.
The reason why SID 2, 3 have that option, is to patch xboxdash.xbe FROM already INSTALLED ms dash 5960 to access fonts in "f0nts" folder and not "fonts" to avoid error 21. IF we were to put together a installer to patch you to ms dash 5960, it would be over 100 megs.
