    try getting Slayer 2.7 Final from a torrent site.
    Burn it to a DVD then use to to reformat the drive and install all the dashboards and apps. I know people who have had problems with AID and said it was a bit buggy.

    If you wiped out your hard drive with AID 3, you can restore your retail (original M$ dash) by selecting the "Install Retail Dash" on the upper left menu. If your HD is locked, you should be able to boot with the original BIOS (eject button) into the M$ dash.

    You should not be barred from playing original games from the evox dash.

    Another thing most folks don't realize is that burning CD's/DVD's at high speed requires higher power on the laser and if your burner is not up to the task or the media is less that top notch, you'll have problems on other drives.

    Play it safe and burn DVD's at 2X or 2.4X and most of the time even the cheapest discs will be playable on any player.
