How do I tell my Xbox's mobo version. I wanna soft mod it.

[The Joker]

Tell me, which approach are you taking. Are you going back through the M$ dash road, or are you going to just upgrade the softmod with the softmod installer?

im going to "Restore M$ dash. Reboot Xbox, load Splinter Cell load up the new Softmod installer, install softmod and install your dash."

Disregard that.
You will want to load up the softmod installer and upgrade the softmod, not a lot of point removing the softmod.

Load up softmod installer via splinter cell (whilst modded), then install softmod, this is if you have sid5 on the hard drive.

[The Joker]

can i put sid 5 on my xbox pendrive then copy it over to the hdd and then do what you said?

Yes. With the filemanager.

[The Joker]

Yes. With the filemanager.

Old one is fine.

edit: Infact, you have no M$ dash on C to make a backup of...

edit2: You need your dashboard on C:\, not E:\.

[The Joker]

ok so i can just move it then, what folder shouldi copy and where should i copy it to? also when i tried to copy a folder while in the soft FM, i kept getting error 2. fuck. so i just copied s cell's save over with the ms dash FM.

Dloading this disc to set softmodded Xbox's back to default would have been the easier option. I have a newer version, but this was already uploaded by me elsewhere, and it works.
