Hi,
I have a v1.0 xbox with a X3 chip installed. I have a 200 gb seagate hdd. My problem is that i had my xbox going for a while now, but i was trying to figure something out in my Avalaunch dashboard. I was going through the settings and i had ENABLED EEPROM changes. Then just today Febuary 1, I went to restore eeprom and my xbox turned off and all hell broke loose. I went to turn my xbox back on and nothing. I was getting frags green and red and then just solid red. So i figured it was an eeprom issue so i went and found another bios called Yoshi-final-256k-2005.bin :: For Xbox v1.0, v1.1, v1.2, v1.3, v1.4 and v1.5. I flashed from my flashbios 3.0.1 screen and it worked fine. The only thing is that i get an error 13 which is my dashboard not loading. This Yoshi bios said it had an eeprom key fix. It fixed the audio and video but my harddrive is not accessible. I tried to use my slayers disc to unlock my harddrive but no luck. I get a unlock error in my settings on my slayers disc. I put the disc in before it reads my harddrive so i could access my slayers disc. I'm thinking that the new bios took over mine or something.

Also: when i go to my flashbios 3.0.1 screen i get a message like this "Unable to generate password from eeprom- corrupt?

unable to get first sector, returned 1
unable to get first sector getting partition table

Please someone help...i don;t know how happy i will be or how thankful
The reason why i really need this fixed is beacause i have 57 games saved on the harddrive right now.

Thanx for the help if given any

Can you get the X3 Bios to boot?
Will it boot disabled?

( error 13 ) - kernel - Dashboard launch fail (due to missing/bad key, or anything else that would prevent it from running) and the dashboard didn't specify why it failed.

Do you have a backup of the eeprom?
If so you can do one of two things.

make a boot disk with config magic and your eeprom.
boot the disk via the yoshi bios.
run config magic.
restore eeprom.

Or

edit an x2 bios and embed your eeprom.
boot flashbios.
flash that X2 bios.
boot X2 bios.
unlock hdd.
use configmagic to restore eeprom.
