Posted: Sun Jan 24, 2010 3:29 am Post subject: Both a Hello and a cry for help
First, hello everyone i look forward to learning alot more about my xbox and what ti can do from this site.
Now for my problem - I’m deeply confused. After a few hours of research, i found i could softmod my Xbox, without the need for a modchip, so i started using ndure and xboxhd and hotswapping to unlock then softmod my Xbox original hard drive. Once i was done it booted into dashboard completely normally, and nothing seemed different, i got confused. After more research i found Auto-Install deluxe, i downloaded this, made my dvd and then the iso, and burned to a dvd-r, and it didn’t boot, the manual doesn’t explain how I’m supposed to get it to boot. Do i have to have a modchip to get this to work?? i just can’t work it out, and I’m not very experience in this as you can probably tell, only 2 or so days of working on it, but they are 2 soli days
I believe I have the Samsung dvd drive, its model is SDG-605, as for my xbox version itself, I don’t know how I find that. K:1.00.5838.01 D:1.00.5960.01 <--apparently there important numbers, so I thought I’d include them
Can someone help me please?

I would reccomend hot swapping your hard drive, then load xPlorer360 in Windows, then from there, clear all partitions & place a clean fresh copy of the Microsoft dashboard into Partition 3. From there, create two folders in Partition 4, name one TDATA, and the other UDATA. Make sure that is all that is on your hard drive, then boot your xBox. And when your softmodding, I would reccomend getting something like Action Replay for XBOX to softmod. But, if you choose to do what I said, you can simply copy the SoftMod files and copy them directly onto the harddrive. If you need help finding tutorials on anything, there should be alot of them in the Tutorials section of the site. But also remember, when doing any of this, there are always going to be risks. Anyone correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks for the help, i was able to apply the softmod, at least i think it worked, when booted my xbox light is now amber not green, and i was able to boot up the burned AID. however whenever i tried to apply a dashboard, it would error, so i tried doing everything, and it errored. most of the time it would be a blank error screen, some times it said it stopped at "RENAME", others it just gave error code 2. I'm not really sure what to do. any help?
