    Default Canīt use MS Dashboard

    Hi there!

    For about a month ago my xbox started to act a little strange. I have Evo X dashboard, X-ecuter chip earlier version of it. Now the problem:
    I cant play DVDs anymore with MS Dashboard, i get error 21. I can play the DVDs in DVDX so the disc isnīt broken. Have seen some post about this problem but cant just sort it out. Help Wanted!!

    Regards

    SweGuy

    21 - anywhere - This error says that the machine was booted to display a error, basically someone told the machine to reboot (or launch a xbe) with this flag, and the error code just means its been rebooted by the flag

    get yourself a copy of slayers autoinstaller and repair the ms dashboard.

    Yes i saw that in another post. But as i understood it, Slayers Autoinstaller wipes out the HD and preps it from the beginning. Isnīt that right? Donīt want to lose any games, movies etc that i loaded on the Xbox HD. Can i use slayer to just repair the ms dashboard without loosing any data it would be perfect. Please tell me if that is possible. And if there are several versions of slayer, wich one to use.

    Regards

    you wont lose anything if you select the restore original dashboard option .

    version 2.6 is the latest .

    another way to do it is to fire up boxplorer, find a relatively up to date disk and run dashupdate.xbe from it, this will do exactly what it says on the tin mate.

    Get yourself a copy of Firefeckers X-Disk - 'www.x-disk.com' as well as Slayers.
    This has the option to install the MS Dash with or without the Live update.
    Handy little disc to have around.

    Of the 2, I prefer X-Disk but get them both if you can and see which one suits.
    Make sure you select to install just the dash and not format and install. This little slip up cost me about 80Gig in 5 seconds. :|

    Thanks for all the help mates!! I think iīll go for the Slayers Autoinstaller. Any reason for choosing ver 2.6 instead of 2.5 when you have a problem like mine?
