    hi
    i got hold of my first xbox.
    i checked the xbmc version -
    it is written as
    xbmc pre-2.1
    compiled oct 21,2007
    mplayer xbmc-svn-r10070

    originally - when i switched on my xbox, i got opions boot xbmc, boot msdash, settings, etc
    when i selected xbmc, it used to start up xbmc and display old xbmc.

    ftp,
    i connected to ftp
    ftp connection was available only when i switched on xbox and went into xbmc section
    the xbmc was saved in the Q drive of xbox
    to upgrade:
    i transferred xbmc contents to c drive apps folder C:\APPS\xbmc
    and renamed my c:\evoxdash.xbe to c:\oldevoxdash.xbe
    copied shortcut downloaded into C drive and renamed it as
    c:\evoxdash.xbe and c:evoxdash.cfg
    now when i rebooted the xbox, i can see xbox logo and then after that plain screen
    now i cant connect to ftp also

    i was pressing so many buttons the remote panicked...i got some settings screen with
    network
    video
    audio
    backup euvox
    back up msdash
    create backup
    restore euvox
    restore msdash
    open dvd tray
    close dvdtray
    exit xbox
    restart xbox
    hoping all works fine i selected restart xbox
    and then i got my failure screen again after xbox logo n music

    does any one know how to get back to the settings screen and get back my xbox?

    Q drive is virtual drive. you have to copy the XBMC to e drive, best would be e:\apps\Xbmc and copy shortcut from here + edit cfg file.

    do you have your xbox softmodded or chipped?

    managed to update it...got it working now
    moved from laptop to connected to 40inch LCD via ca cable
    to xbox to 40LCD via Yellow cable
    xbox clarity is poor
    may be due to cable
    also most of things working on pc is not working here...
    its just my bad luck i guess
