Xbox (Again!!!)
Another couple of quick questions for all you Xbox guru's... 
Having done a huge amount of reading on the technicalities of modding Xbox's over the last few days in all manner of area's (chipping, flashing, networking, dashboards, apps - you name it, I've read about it!
) I still have just a couple of questions...
Firstly, how do I go about backing up my hard drive for the first time after I've installed the chip? Assuming I do the install, and flash the bios on the chip, I want to back up the whole disc prior to doing any messing about with the dash - how?
It seems that to gain FTP functionality, I need to install an alternate dashboard that supports FTP'ing, but this surely necessitates "fiddling" before I can backup? Can I FTP files over to my PC using the SLaYerS EvoX installer boot disc I've created today? Is there a way of accessing the Xbox HD with the standard MS Dash? Or will I *have* to install EvoX first?
Secondly, will I lose all of my game save information, and Music when I install the EvoX (for now!).
Finally, I'm aware (now - thanks DJDunk!), of the various partitions present on the Xbox HD - when I access these via my PC, are these represented as individual drives (i.e. is the OE drive *actually* partitioned), or are they just individual folders on the HD?
I may have totally misunderstood a few things along the line, so if anything above sounds like total rubbish, or if I sound like a total pleb then try and be nice
Cheers guys,
K.

Yes, you can use the Slayers disc to backup via FTP to your PC. Check/Edit the evox.ini file from the slayers disc for the network settings.
You only need to backup C and E.
You will not lose your game saves so long as you don't format any partitions.
The partitons will be displayed as individual drives through your FTP client.

SetupNetwork = Yes
StaticIP = NO

DNS1 = 194.63.248.1
DNS2 = 217.13.7.140
SkipIfNoLink = No

Ta very much
As a sidenote, can I ask what Bios you run? I'm debating between the latest Xecuter Bios (4983?), and the EvoX equivalent - do you have a preference?
