dont use SID (softmod installer deluxe)
see: http://www.xbmc4xbox.org.uk/forum/viewt ... =13&t=1040
So basically SID toasted my Upgraded HDD, if you use SID on your stock xbox HDD you might brick your xbox (always keep your stock xbox hdd after you upgrade to a larger one)

Re: help with installing sid files!!!!
Thanks but i don't understand, even id i try and transfer different files how can i transfer them when the xbox wont let me? And i know im a bit clueless here but i cant install aid by disc until i mod xbox but cant sorry if am not making much sense feel free to ask any questions thanks
Re: help with installing sid files!!!!
your doing it all wrong, in addition to the fact you don't need an xbox memory card with a usb to xbox.
what you need is a flash drive formated in "FATX" no larger than 4gb, drop the files onto the flash drive from your computer, copy them to xbox hdd, then load game disc.
go with SID files 2.0, that's what I used on my stock HDD (5.0+ has bugs)

Re: help with installing sid files!!!!
I don't think i explained properly the usb to xbox i only have a cable usb end and the other end is for the controller to slot into installed drivers for controller and memory card transferred files to memory card (i think using fatxplorer) and i cant do the first step in the video you posted when i try to copy the gamesave file there's nothing to select to copy despite the memory being full? What am i doing wrong?

Re: help with installing sid files!!!!
@ phillymc...I've always fallen back to this tutorial when I forgot exacty what I was doing
http://www.productwiki.com/microsoft-xb ... nutes.html
About halfway down it starts in on the steps for transferring the files...don't know which game you are using but this one uses mech assult (not that it should matter).
from the tutorial:
Hope this helps

from the tutorial:
NOTE: When attempting to copy the gamesave from the memory card, make sure to press right on the directional pad to select the smaller MechAssault circle, as in the second screen capture above. Use common sense and you can figure this out easily.
Hope this helps

Re: help with installing sid files!!!!
Okay, so you're stuck on step 5 from the tutorial I posted above...it's been awhile since I did that (once done as long as you have the memory card you don't need to do it again). I actually hacked off the end of an old controller and spliced a normal usb plug onto it, and when I plugged it into my pc i specifically remember needing to download a program or some drivers from microsoft so that the gamepad could be used to navigate my pc...have you done that yet? If the controller isn't being "seen" by the computer, then you'll never be able to access the memory card in the gamepad....

Yeah part 5 (5.2 a think) and yeah the lead i have is pretty much the equivalent of cutting the end of a controller off and yeah installed drivers for controller and memory card (both took forever to find and install) and whenevr i try and transfer the program just crashes

Re: help with installing sid files!!!!
Okay, we'll figure it out...so it crashes when you drag the file from "my computer" to action replay center column, or from action replay center column to memory card? You might also try erasing all of the data from the memory card (no need for "injecting" anything afaik) and starting over, or reinstalling the software etc...
