I booted off a cd that had evox on it with 3 menu options prepare HDD,
reboot
and power off. I cant recall where I got it from.

I will have to look into the issue of locking the HDD... Thats not covered
in
the howto I was reading..

Also, whats the deal with widescreen and games, is the video setting stored
on
the hdd or on the xbox somewhere? evo-s dash comes up wide, as does media
player, but like in finding nemo off the hdd, its not widescreen.. Im gonna
be
gutted if its not wide...
