things to do frist
backup your hard drive

backup eeprom

if backup bios dose not work (power eject at sametime) flash it with working flashbios
flashbios 3.0.1 for v1.0 to v1.6 xboxs
flashbios 3.0.3 for v1.0 to v1.5 as well as v1.6b xboxs

if you have a dash set boot piroity to the dash you wish to boot to on startup

disable x3 dash boot on startup

Definitely a good idea to do all of the above. One q, how do you flash your backup bios for the first time? Forget it, I'll try a few things. Anyway, how are you flashing it? CD, HDD, or HTTP? HTTP is very easy if you have a home network or a crossover cable. Another way is for you to just burn a cd. Whatever you do, back it all up first, just as DJBOOBY said. Great advice.
