sweetdarkdestiny you are awesome, thank you its one of the best installers I've used. If anyone needs an installer or wants to try something different this is great i recommend you take a look

Thanks for the quick reply I used the link in your previous post and I use imgburn at 2x speed on a DVD+RW I will re-download from the link you just provided and try again tonite.

I have downloaded the installer filled burnt the ISO image but it won't boot. I added the files to my hard drive and ran it from there I get error 13. I have a 1.1 with a new Alladin clone running Evo m8 bios and a Phillips DVD drive and a stock hd I will upgrade the hd later. Have I missed a step do I need to download something else? The same happens on my 1.6 softmodded box

yes I do but its dedicated to other things, I don't want to mess with it. I will just get an Aladdin xt as its the easiest option

Thanks Dave, I do have Mechassault and splinter cell but the box in question came second hand with a dead hard drive. I might just buy an Aladdin xt to recover it then use that same mod chip in the 1.6. This is likely the easiest way. It would be interesting to know if anyone has gotten Ponyprog to work with usb though.

Is it Possible to retrieve my EEPROM via usb? Ive seen all the vids using PonyProg and have made a reader in the past for an old Xbox, my problem now is my old pc is long gone and all i have now is a laptop with 2 usb 3.0 and 1 usb-c ports no ethernet I can use a usb to ethernet converter. I also have a serial to ethernet cable. i could do this.... Xbox + eeprom cable + serial to ethernet cable + ethernet to usb. This sounds like a bad idea and I don't think Ponyprog likes usb. Aside from a mod chip what are my options. The box in question is a 1.2 which i intend to tsop, I also have a softmoded 1.6

Well i found this useful I will be using fatxplorer and xboxhdm thanks
