ok this is what happened. i restored my xbox using that restore to ms on the blue screen start up. and now my xbox goes str8 to update xbox live screen. then it wont respond to update. if u kno anyway i could fix this please help. thanks.

Did you perhaps try to access XBOX Live (update) when the box was running the mod? If so, you (or better: your XBOX) may have been banned from XBOX live.

I also have an xbox that is in the same state. It run an original game disk once, but now wont read any disk.

any ideas on this

cheers

I also have the problem, would someone please help on this!!

I have the same problem too, I have posted on many different forums yet there seems to not be a single person that has any clue how to fix this error. I have even went as far as trying to hotswap my hdd with no success. Well if any has any idea as to how to fix this pain in the ass that we all share I would really appreciate the help.

Not sure if this works on an upgraded HD but I got this to work on a stock HD with a softmod. I wiped the HD and then used one of the Auto-Installer discs (I believe it was V2.11 Final) to re-install the MS Dashboard. Once the MS Dashboard was back up and running I used one the softmod methods and all went well. I realize that was pretty extreme but then again the person who had it before me seriously screwed up the HD and it was the only way I could get it back up and running again. If nothing else works you might give that method a go.
