Yo man thats the funniest shit i ever see,

I bet you recently upgraded your config live and u put the script over aswell so next power up it would format the hdd,
hahah aint life grand when shit happens that you cause yourself but your not aware of,

And if u want an xbox virus just ask, but no way to distribute it unless you pop it through Xlink Kai

Kind Regards

TheGuffinMan,

More than 1000 people use the X3 & X3 ce,

Honestly, I bet you copied the script over with the skin folder, its set to start on boot, bet you did it yourself, an xbox virus is not form factor because it would not work because what the xbox runs it would be incompatible with anything because it would not be signed and would not contain the code to do so, if you knew xbox coding the slightest you would not suspect xbox virus, and considering its you and your friend, not any of the other tens of thousands of xbox modders, why are you so special blink.gif

Kind Regards
HoZy

well u need to take a rain check and grow up a virus can affect any machine the xbox is only a computer it's only the bios stopping us from doing what we want the xbox is running a basic windows 2000 kernal anyway so a virus can affect any computer. So if knew anything u would no that !, i haven't updated the bios yet so i haven't copied any skin folder over so thats that out of the picture any more smart ideas.

no my cinfused friend, you need to take a rain check becuase there are no viruses for the xbox, as said before they are incopatible, and anyway 99.9 of viruses dont have anything to do with a kernal, a virus is a bit like a crack for a pc game or a trainer for an xbox game, it changed the commands to do something that you dont want.

second, now that we established its not a virus lets think, did you by any chance update your bios lately? and what bios ar eyou using?

TheGuffinMan,

How about you take your problem to the proper forum, and as I said,
There are no xbox virus's.

Kind Regards
HoZy PS- The attitude you threw back at me was uncalled for, start with the proper forum this is Hardware modding.
