X-box Modding 101
By Professor Dave-O

Whatever you do, don't delete your xboxdash.xbe file. OK? Stevie and I went to Natebrain's house last night to get my X-box modded and left with it in full working order. We went over to Stevie's (where Shan was watching the James Dean biography - very cool) and hooked up the box to FTP where Stevie then decided to overwrite the xboxdash.xbe file. The X-box hard drive was then broken. We tried a few things for an hour or so, gave up and he came over again today to get it working. He tried hot-swapping the old HDD with the new HDD and then delete/re-copy the old xboxdash.xbd, but when trying to delete the new file it froze. FTP paused, Stevie restarted the X-box with the old HDD, which FTP then saw and deleted the old hard drives HDD. That means we now have two non-working HDDs because we've erased the same file on both. Natebrain is nowhere to be found. HAHA!
