Obviously, he can coldboot SPLINTER Cell because he asked which to use Checkpoints or Load Levels. So a hotswap is NOT needed yet. Error 21 is one of the least worrysome problems out there for the xbox now adays. 99% of the time they can be solved without a hotswap.

Error 21: The Xbox cannot find the specified Dashboard files to boot, and thus cannot load any menus. Thus, making your day BAD.

This can be easilly rectified. First, you already have AID, so I assume you know about .rar's and .zip's and all that jazz. To restore your box, load SID 3.11 onto your mem card, pop in splinter cell and cold boot (that means boot up the system with the eject button; you'll get the error, pop in the game and turn off the system. Then turn on the system with the power button).

Once Splinter Cell loads, Choose "Start Game" then "Checkpoints" and it should automatically load the "Linux" game save. From here, you're safe. Don't worry about making an M$ backup, because obviously, yours is FUBAR.

Just format the C drive and install the softmod as per the instructions. Once this is done, you're safe to reboot and run AID. From here, you have your wonderful options of SINGLE CLICK INSTALLS on ANY SID version. Take your pick, but be sure to install MSDAsh 5960 to your C drive before doing any of it . (what this will do is format your C drive and install the newest MS dash file, giving you a clean box. DO NOT REBOOT AFTER DOING SO). Then proceed as needed.

Hopefully, that solves your problems. If not, check back here for some more help (sorry I didn't answer your initial problem, I only read the last two pages).

So far it's frozen on me when I picked the Linux profile off of Splinter Cell.


and he made another thread, and i'v explaind to him to coldboot ( how to do it ) and remod it ... and then he said also only when going to xbox live is the only time he gets 21 .... so i got confused because i dont know what he currently has or where he currently is. i had him put the sid 4.5 files to his mem card,

Can someone translate this into words that I can understand. especially what I underlined. I just don't understand. You actually take out the harddrive from the xbox?

Needed Tools:
- xboxhdm 1.9
- Torx 10 And Torx 20 Screwdrivers - To Open XBOX
- A PC(remove all hd's) ,blank CD-R/W and A CD Burner
- DVDdecryptor (http://www.dvddecrypter.com)
- C drive backup or latest MS dash

' Make sure the xbox and pc are close to echother '

Steps:
1. if you got a backup of your c you don't need to download latest msdash, if you don't got a backup download ms dash and keep it ready on your pc.

2. unpack xboxhdm onto your pc .

3. put ms dash in the C folder into the xboxhdmlinux folder and overwrite the ones already there.

4. In the root of xboxhdm is a file named 'make-iso-win', run this file and wait for it to finish.

5. It will make a .iso file. (burn this file with dvddecryptor), put the cd in the pc .

6. unplug the XBOX DVDROM IDE cable, take the power cable off the dvd-rom.

7. Turn on the PC, Before the PC BIOS looks for hard drives, hit the Pause/Break key. It should pause at this time.

8. Turn on the Xbox .

9. It will boot to an error code(nr 11) regarding the dvd-rom, but the hdd will be unlocked, this way you'll get xboxhdm to access it on first attempt Now remove ide from hd and swap it to the pc

10. Hit space bar to continue booting the PC. If it takes a long time to boot (several minutes), then the HD has not been unlocked.

11. you will get a menu,now choose Option 1 (by typing ‘1’) and press enter to boot VGA console with xbox-drive utilities (default). Type ‘xboxhd’ when it asks you for a login. Another list of options will show up, choose option 1 again (the one that says ‘Build a new Xbox HD from scratch’) and it will begin to format and write the partition table etc. when it asks you about C type yes and when it asks you if you would like an F select yes .

12. power down pc and xbox.

13. put the hd back in the xbox and boot.

Nice you just recovered your hard drive !!!

If you can still play games, you can still softmod, did you erase the E drive as well?

pretty much on step #7 is where everything is hard , and once you reach step #11 then its all easy . i think he deleted his E as well . but if he did not then yes hes saved and can remod it .
when doing this first remove your pc hd. then get your xbox close to your pc, now power on your pc and hit pause/break key button on keyboard once you did that easy part now you have to power on the xbox and quickly move the xbox hd to the pc ide cable . ( its a timeing thing) now you are going to get 11 for havin the dvd rom ide cable removed. so once you pluged the xbo hd to pc then hit pause break and if the xboxhdm1.9 loads instant then cheer you did the timing right.

i skiped step #6 and back cuz you are capable of knowing what its for . also you have to change your boot order to read from cd drive first insted of hd . to do this go to your bios and change boot order.

By the way and not trying to make things complicated but gus I saw where you said Platinum Edition Splinter Cell doesn't work. That isn't true. Mine worked and did exactly everything it was supposed to. Oh and deleting everything is what I did and now I also get error 13 maybe because I unomunted virtual c formatted then tried to install ms dash I dunno but thats why I have to hot swap (which isn't working)
