I've softmodded my XBox several times before... But, I was using Slayers... then I wanted to go to a more 'official' release and got AID2.02. I got it booted, decided to install X-DSL and now it won't boot up unless it's a game, and the save game is on my memory card (I can't access any kind of dash) to transfer it over and re-softmod it for EvoX + MS Dash.
Someone help me!

Will it boot pirate games?
If not then you may have to hotswap.
check out pirrup`s tut In the
Tutorial`s.
Well if it will boot up the AID cd still he could always just reformat his HD and then softmod it with whatever softmod he wants. Sounds like the MsDash just got screwed up somehow, I dunno much about X-DSL so can't say for sure tho...

Exactly.. If you can boot AID you can do a format and full reinstall..
DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR XBOX AFTER YOU FORMAT!
You must reinstall all the softmod files straight away after the reinstall over everything.
If you cant boot AID anymore you will have to try the HOTSWAP tutorial by pirrup..
Nothing boots except legal games. I've tried the hotswap method and my PC doesn't even recognize it. I tried for at least an hour. I keep getting a service required message, the BIOS doesn't even pickup my DVD Recorder... I unplig everything but it and it recognizes it.

If ORIGINAL GAMES still boot ok why dont you just reinstall the softmod or try starting the softmod.. Im sure you havent deleted the SOFTMOD FILES of the XBOX HDD so they will still be there.
Put in your ORIGINAL game and choose to load the 'LINUX' save game hack again.. Hopefully SID menu will come up and let you format and reinstall everything again.
anyway, good luck and let us know how you go.
Last resort is always a modchip.. It will fix and error codes you are getting and will let you boot AID2 and fix your xbox..
The files aren't on the HDD. I've done tried using MechAssault to reinstall and then uninstall it, but the files aren't there to do so. So right now my Xbox is in pieces and I can't even get the hotswap to work correctly.
