it should say it on screen. fatal crash intercepted is caused by dashlaunch's fatalfreeze or fatalreboot settings iirc. is that the dashlaunch you put on the system? it could have gotten corrupted. that's like the only possibility unless the hdd is failing. how did you get that aurora stuff over to the internal hdd? party buffalo?

yeah - i just did that. I put it on a USB drive, opened XEX Menu copied over the aurora dir to hdd1, it force rebooted and now i'm stuck at the xbox 360 screen with a white background

i'm almost at the point of saying F!*( this Aurora and Alliance BS that was loaded on the drive, and use MY drive that I know what is going on, and just use Party Buffalo (if it doesn't crash) to copy all the games/emulators from the internal to MY drive

The only thing that concerns me a little bit is what is on flash (I think that's what it is) - is that looking for something specific on this drive and i'll brick the damn thing if I do this

to hdd1? get a fresh copy of the sample launch.ini supplied with dashlaunch, copy the one you download to usb, then change the default path to usb:\Aurora\Aurora.xex . make sure the path looks like this.

Yea, are you sure the one on the internal hdd isn't the old Aurora? Regardless, i recommend putting it in a usb then copying it with XexMenu (or in Aurora).

That's what I did....now i've got the XBOX 360 boot logo froze on screen

something is likely corrupted with your launch.ini, so put a fresh one on usb. it will override the one on the internal hdd.

oh nice! let me find a good copy of dashlaunch

redownload aurora from the link I provided, connect your usb drive to your computer, copy it over, then download dashlaunch, take its sample launch.ini, rename it to launch.ini, then under default, type the right path. for usb, it should be just usb, same with hdd, it should just be hdd even though for example it's called hdd1.

btw, you can hold the right bumper button right when the splash screen appears at boot to get into the stock dash and override the launch.ini, which I think is the problem.

Right bumper FTW!

Does the .inin file go in the root of the usb drive?

My Launch.ini is set to this
Default = Usb1:\Aurora\Aurora.xex

The RGH hits the white splash screen and immediately boots into stock dash

if this doesn't work, put the launch.ini and aurora folder on the hard drive, unplug the flash drive, then reboot the system.
