i just soft-mod my xbox with splinter cell + memcard. (xbox v1.6), upgraded the harrd drive to a 250g maxtor, installed slayer v2.6 from scratch. every7thing was fine until i changed the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9 in xbox media player (ok, now i know it is a very very stupid thing to do....:-(
after the change, the xbox can not be started up any more. after the ms xbox logo screen, it is hanged there with a messy colorful screen. the hard drive makes some noise and it seems to be reading/writing....but it will hand there forever.
i tried to load up the splinter cell again to re-mod...but no luck... the game would not start... i tried ftp...no connection.
i tried switching back the original hard drive. it did not help.. same symptom. i had thought the change of ratio will be saved somewhere on the hard drive. but now apparently it is saved somewhere to the hardware of the box (some flashable memory?)...
i have tried to xboxhdm to recover the hdd or even prepare a fresh new hdd with my backups, but no luck.
anyone had the same problem and knows how to rescue it?
