Well, there is no way I see to remove my account from this site, but feel free to delete this post (users can't?). I'm not wasting anymore time and energy on this garbage. Will just hardmod that console and move on.

Yeah, I used those files because I wanted to corrupt my C drive. Thought it would be a cool time to waste many hours. Has nothing to do with the documentation for this process being posted on multiple websites with multiple ways to do it. Couldn't be that... Anymore smarmy responses with no help?

Where do I "add a dashboard" using the Splinter Cell/Xbox Softmoding Tool combo? When the tool came up after the exploit, it was just "press A" and the rest of the process was scripted. Also, I have an extras disc, but as noted above, the unit does not play/boot burnt discs or retail discs at this point since the Xbox booted to a failed boot each time. I don't believe there is an automated tool to repair this. My question is how do I fix the C Partition using FATxplorer? I noticed the key was saved during the script that ran, I could use null or 1111's to unlock the drive, grab the real hdd key and repair the C Partition then lock it (with the real key). That's what I assume can be done. Looking for confirmation and some basic instructions.

Heh, the Dell Inspiron 8200 was my first laptop ever. I remember playing Battlefield 1942 on it at LAN parties back in the day. The specs were hella good for its time: Pentium 4M (Mobile) @1.9Ghz /w 1GB of RAM and a Radeon 9000 w/64MB of VRAM. Now it's my "I need an XP device that's not a VM" machine lol - so it rarely gets pulled out, but for an old 32bit app that relies on 32bit driver support, it fit the bill for this project. https://www.anandtech.com/show/1019 The part that is still shocking me is the battery is the original OEM and still seems to hold a 2hr charge when I left it off the charge. My Galaxy S9+ is on it's 3rd battery...

and not that it should matter, but I am moving the files around using the Action Replay app and their 8MB Memory Unit. I copy both files from it to the hard drive. I have a 20 yr old laptop in the closet with XP on it for these very one-off experiences. I removed the mem card before running anything.

Hello all, I need some assistance. I was trying to softmod a few xbox's I got laying around here. One has a ton of update and DLC data on it I want to contribute back. That all being said, I used one of the consoles that didn't have much data on it. I then used the Splinter Cell NTSC game. It worked and loaded up the softmod tool, I pressed A. It gave a generic error and asked me to choose NTSC or PAL, I chose NTSC. The script continued, appeared to backup the EEPROM, modify C Partition, etc. at the end, it says "See that was painless go ahead and reboot" annnnnnnnnnd.....pain. Only boots to an error 13 or 14 So, could I take this drive, hook it up to FATxplorer, unlock the drive with null or 1111's, grab the legit hdd key from the E: partition, then lock the drive using the correct key. Then can I use FATxplorer to rebuild the dashboard/C partition somehow? From what I can tell from YT vids, when it rebooted, it looks like a script should have ran and that never happened, just errors 13 or 14 and nothing boots (real discs or burnt ones). I do have access to one softmodded xbox if that helps me to solve this... Regards, PHX-Sisko
