I still have a fully working system with evox, but how can I restore msdash?

Xbox Version: v1.4
360 version: v1 (xenon)

two things that come to mind. try running the application directly

CODE

Item "MsDash","c:\msxboxdash.xbe",

i dont think evox ID_MS_DASH will load anythign other then the orginal name (think)

if you ahve a 'xbox installer disk' you can jsut reinstall the msft dash on the c$ and take care of that...

also with your bios you shouldnt need to rename evox to anything i think the generic bios from x2 has a load of evox.xbe before xboxdash.xbe (otherwords you dont need to rename anything)

try either of them 2 out and see where you go

Recent X2 BIOSes have a failsafe built in that won't allow them to load MS Dash. This is to prevent using Xbox Live while the chip is enabled.

Also, you should always leave your MS Dash named "xboxdash.xbe" as there is no reason to rename it. Renaming it will only cause the Xbox to produce an error message when booting with the chip disabled. The boot order on recent chips is also such that it will boot alternative dashboards before MS Dash.

You are right Evox still booted but this time if I try to link to msdash it comes back with the code 21 error

As I stated before, there is a failsafe in later X2 BIOSes to prevent loading the MS Dash with the chip enabled.

What BIOS are you running?

Does it boot up okay with the chip disabled?
