Being 7Zip you'll need to unpack it first on PC then repack it as an ordinary Zip or RAR if you have WinRAR.

As indicated the Xbox dashes mentioned can only unpack ordinary Zips and RARs.

Hope it work for you.

Rather than FTPing it to the Xbox as a .bin file have you tried ZIP ping (or RAR ing) not 7ZIP ping it and FTPing that to it instead? I've found that this can help when I've suspected firewall or anti-virus settings issues or something else unknown have been interfered with the transfer. Obviously y...

Probably a TV issue. If set to Auto format many TVs will simply fill the screen whatever the output format set on a console. If connected using SCART(RGB) cable it should switch automatically to 4:3 but my experience is that this is not always the case. So if your handset doesn't include an 'Aspect ...

What version Xbox are we talking about? Are you100% certain it is a softmod because your description makes it sound as if it may be chipped or TSOPed. If you can post some screenshots of what it is doing whilst booting it would help. It could just be a loading screen, part of the skin that your dash...

The Xbox itself is not region locked - even without modding there are numbers of games which whilst sold as 'NTSC' or 'PAL' will play perfectly on any region Xbox although that might depend on the TV's display support. There is not a list of those fully region free AFAIK. Otherwise there are a great...

This is the thread I was thinking of:-

There's plenty of other info relevant to your project there too.

A 2TB Seagate SATA HDD is as good as any. The important thing with a a 2TB HDD is that unless you are using CerBIOS (you won't be unless you've updated the chip's BIOS previously) you must split the volume ie. the two supported extended drives: F:\ and G:\ (better described as partitions), are limit...

If it is hardmodded (chipped or TSOP) then 'all' you need to do is install a new HDD or SSD. No soldering or anything like that needed. A set of torx screwdrivers to open up the Xbox that should be all the DIY skills needed. BTW there is no significant benefit in speed terms using a SSD in an origin...

I did/do not know of any other working download link except for that one. You could try asking on the OGXbox forum as they have archives which may include the XBMC v3.0 > compatible updated version of the Xbox Classic skin but make sure you specify the most recently updated version as there are stil...

Not sure why you need to get rid of XBMC. If you used Rocky5's updated Chimp 261812 cloning tool could, reasonably easily, just attach the new HDD as 'slave' and clone your existing 'master' HDD to the, presumably, larger one you want to use. All will be exactly the same except your extended partiti...

It'll be interesting if you can because Google/YT has now taken to completely blocking access to YT, not just warning you as previously, users of unsupported or older browsers.

There's another problem with YT now and that is it has, in the last month, gone from simply 'warning' you your browser is unsupported but 'allowing' you to continue, to actively preventing you from accessing YT with anything but its selection of supported browsers. Stupid, and we can bet it is for s...

The 5GB on E:\ is more than enough for what's best to be there and in some cases must be there ie. UDATA and TDATA which means the Custom Soundtracks too. With a softmod it is often, but not always, where you main dash content will be too. There is more than enough space for all that and more. I can...

I'm pretty sure you made a syntax mistake in the very first line ":E\Apps........................."

It should be "E:\Apps........................"

If your chip is working OK and your DVD drive likewise all you really need to do is, making sure the HDD is unlocked first, take it out and wipe it on PC then use an installer disc to setup a dashboard etc for a hardmodded Xbox. I'd make sure I had an eeprom backup if not done already. You don't nee...

Try cold booting the Xbox ie. with the disc already loaded. The disc should be on DVD-R preferably burned using ImgBurn too. Also check that Aladdin chip is actually working when you start the Xbox - press and hold the Power button for 1 - 2 secs should activate the chip, a short tap will cause it t...

In the majority of cases PAL Xbox games natively support NTSC use too. Just swap the Xbox to NTSC using the Enigmah Region Changer app not any other dashboard NTSC settings . You should be good for the majority of games. Of course there are exceptions. Darkwatch PAL, I don't have because I imported ...

You should not need to use a cross-over cable when networking to a PC/router as the PC will detect the signals no matter which channel is being used. The problem could just be the settings; typically that when you change dashboards it was set for DHCP and is now Static or visa versa. I think Rocky5 ...

It has been like that for decades - a lot of useful and indeed important information about modding, significant detail and specific advice for things like HDD upgrades is not always included in guides or advice given.

I do not know if this is one with working previews but it is a fairly recent post and the link/download provided is functioning.
