I am definately struggling...Please Help

[Sublime_4_Life]

also what is your take on the M7 bios compared to the X2 4983 bios..I installed the latter of the two but i think the slayer installer uses the M7. Any diff. or are they the same thing pretty much?

You can't ftp to the xbox without a dash. However, you can boot something like evolutionX off of a disk. So, if you mess up your HDD, you can boot from a disk, ftp, and replace. I would make a backup if I were you. Also, slayers just copies files off the disk to a folder on the HDD. If you didn't ugrade your HDD, then use E (about 4-5gb). You can browse the contents of the disk (D) and copy the file folders off directly if you want. I would not downgrade dashboards. Especially evox if you plan on using trainers.

I prefer 4981 because 4983 doesn't work with xbtool. So, I cannot change the boot logo color, or what dash the xbox boots to by name.

M7, well, x2 has in-game reset, so that is why i use that. Never really looked at m7 though, but I know that it doesn;t have IGR included in the bios.
