Hi guys, just want to say thanks to all people who run smdepot.

Anyway, let me get down to the problem. My xbox was working fine, until today... I tried to upload a couple rmbv (realplayer) file to my xbox hard drive via ftp, i first tried to upload them to drive F, it shows successfully uploaded, but when i click back to previous directory, everything on drive F is gone... Now, that's my stupid move... I tried it with drive F a couple times, same thing happened, it shows it was upload successfully, but then the moment u want to view it, everyting got erased, even previous files. Now i tried to upload to drive E, same thing HAPPENED, BUT NOW IT ALSO ERASED EVERYTHING ON MY DRIVE E!!!

am i screwed? cuz when i tried to reboot, it goes to the please call ms to have it service screen, i tried to put a game to see if it starts, NOPE.....

FTP: CoreFTP
Dash: XBMC and EvoX

dammit!!!! please please help.....

If you used a game to install the softmod then place it in the dvd drive and turn it off then back on and allow it to recognize it then then you can get a new FTP program to transfer over the files that are needed to boot. You could also try booting either Team SMD's Auto-Installer or zzk's installer disc to see if it will show up then you can tell it to rebuild your hdd.

I think the problem was with the program that you were using to transfer the files. I think it was formatting your drives for no apparent reason other than just to piss you off no doubt. I would try using FlashFXP or even using Internet Explorer. Here is a tutorial on how to FTP

Let me know how everything works out.

Thanks for the reply, I used splinter cell to softmod it, but i tried putting the game in, it still goes to the same warning menu. I think like you said, the ftp program for some reason format my hd. Is it possible to fix it by replacing the hard drive? or take the hard drive out and copy the neccessary file to it?

No the mod chip doesnt matter, just download and burn. One question, does the drive space show the drive is empty?
Ex. 160gb hdd, appears empty but only has 30gb free space

Yes, under the drive space, it shows its empty.

I have no idea why would coreftp format it, it NEVER happened before...

Download and burn one or the other of the installers. You can find them in our chat room by choosing chat on the homepage or if you already use IRC then /server irc.efnet.net  , /join #smdepot

If all that does not work =/ you may need to Remake the HDD in XboxHDm  Make sure with 160g HDD you split it off to F: and G: partions  as setting all On F: can cause problems/errors


even if it does Not it's better to Be safe then Sorry

You will need to extract it from the .rar file. Get WinRAR or ExtractNow (the free alternative to winrar). Then it will extract to a .iso that you can burn to a DVD.
