    formatting it will render it useless, that will not reset it back to normal

    Hey guys, i just soft modded my xbox, and screwed it up. Is there any program I can use to restore it back to factory defaults? And also, what is stored on each drive? all I know is E:/ is for game saves. But what about c,f,g, x,y, and z? my xbox says there are no files on them, but no free space? can I save my ripped games to those drives? Any ideas? I am such a noob

    to : billyboba - Once a box is modded, you cannot play it online.
    to : darkkrew - How did this error occur? Was it trying to mod it? It might just be as simple as making sure your IDE cables are in correctly. (I happened to get an error once, called xbox they said it was screwed, and i needed a new one, turned out my IDE was not in tight)
