that the good thing about AID3.1 it only installs the dash and will not effect the rest of your hard drive i just installed a app useing it and did not like it so uninstalled with AID3.1 no prolbems unlike slayer inf you install useing that it formats you hard drive
do not use the softmod option in AID3.1 Tthat all you have to worry about

Not an avalaunch fan... but IRC did work for me when I used it, so I'm guessing that was probably a setup or IRC server issue...

There's no firewall or anything setup to block ports out on that router is there?

hi i have been [email protected]#king around with avalanuch and got it to work i have attach a avalanuch.xml file that has the updated settings i have allso bump up the fan speed to 60% you can change it by hiliteing xml file right click and open with notepad find fan speed and change it to what your needs then ftp it to the folder that has the old xml file delete that then ftp over new one hope this works
ever time you update the xml file the fan speed will go back to 20% so you will have to patch it bump up fan speed

Partitions A to E are allocated like your stock Xbox hard drive.
The rest of the disk space should be allocated to F and G (for larger drives).
