put the splinter cell disc into the xbox, or whatever game you used to mod your xbox.

Then turn it on with the game in the tray, and goto the setup.

You can FTP to your Xbox then.

Over 15 different dashboards, eh? Really? Which ones? Because there's only like, four or five commonly used dashboards...six if you count XBMC. You're telling me you made a complex installer, complete with every dashboard ever made, and you can't even type a proper sentence?

Call me a ****...but I'm saying "BULL$HIT!"
