When finished, transfer these 2 files to your C drive on the XBox HDD.
Evox.ini will just copy and for xboxdash.xbe it will ask if you want to overwrite the file , say "yes".
You don't have to transfer the "skin" & "bios" directory. "skin" is used if you want to install new skins for EvoX , if you don't copy the skin directory you will just get the default skin.
The "bios" directory is only needed if you will flash the BIOS on your modchip if you have a flashable chip.
note: It doesn't harm thought if u move both the skins & bios directory to the C drive of your xbox.

Now go back where you transfered msxboxdash.xbe on your PC HDD. And retransfer the file (with it's new filename) to the C of your XBox HDD. (this will allow you to go the original microsoft dashboard from the evolutionx dashboard).
This is how your C drive on your XBox should look like. Your drive will probably not have the "backup" directory unless you already installed EvoX before.

xboxdash.xbe is the default.xbe from the EvoX release
msxboxdash.xbe is the old xboxdash.xbe from your C XBox HDD.
evox.ini is coming from the EvoX release

Remove the CD , turn off your XBox and restart.
It should now boot up to the EvolutionX dashboard.
If it doesn't work your XBoxisn't doomed , you can still access the the XBox HDD with the CD. (and if needed restore with the backup of C & E you made).

Burning Xbox Games

Once you can FTP into the XBox, you will see 6 folders.
The C: is the main folder.
The D: is your XBox's DVD Drive (thus where the game we are trying to backup is located)
Now you want to download all the files from the D: to your computer's HDD.

After it finishes, you need to create an XBox iso file.

Use xISO for this.

Once you create ISO, burn it to a blank DVD+/- RW with witch ever burning software you use. I would suggest using a DVD+/-RW first to see if the back up work, than burning it to a DVD+/-R

You can also use Data Burn Method to burn you back ups. This is alot faster than using the ISO method and has a better rate of a good burn.

Then try to play it in your modded XBox, hopefully it will work.

The hardest part of this whole thing is finding the programs to do this and also finding BIOS's for your modchip and finding the EvolutionX dashboard. I would search Google or other various XBox forums.
