yeah. All the gamesaves should be on your E drive. So if you wish to format the drive I would back those up. Unless you want them to go with everything else you have in there. And like he said, the softmod is also on the E drive. If your like me then you have the Apps, Dashboard, Emus, Games, Shadowc, TDATA, and UDATA0 on it. So my E drive holds the softmod. I don't know if its like that for everyone though, cause I only have the retail hdd.

Get a copy of AID and install XBMC. The config files are already set up for it. _________________

well i had a prob like that a few weeks ago when i was messing about with a Maxtor 80 gig HDD so what i did was with the Aid 3.1 disk was (and don't turn off your Xbox till you are finnished)
1. I formated the hole drive.
2. Install MS dash (5960) to C drive.
3. Backup MS dash using Aid disk.
4. Backup eeprom.
5. Install Sid 4.5 with XBMC as my dash using "one click install"
Sorted (like a peanut)
but you will loose everything on your HDD...... But all your prob's have gone as well... _________________

Try to cold boot AID. Open the Xbox drive, put AID in then turn the Xbox off. Wait a few seconds and then turn it back on. If you have a chip it should boot AID.

if you got a 250GB HDD why are you putting apps,etc on E drive. Dump it all on F instead and dont go filling up the E drive or you'll get problems

I don't know much about chiped Xboxes but if i were you i would find the tut that you will need to start from scratch mate, that's the only way to be shure you wont get any more problems.....
Did you put the chip in and mod it...? _________________
