<p>I did this exploit with an action replay. Perhaps you would have more success with that. </p>

After a long stint of serving as an over-spec DVD player, I decided to<br>
bite the bullet and get Linux running on my old xbox. I have a copy<br>
of the right version of Mech Warrior 2 for the softmod, and I have an<br>
Xbox-USB adapter that should in theory allow me to plug a USB flash<br>
drive in, and copy the bootloader exploit onto the xbox.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately for me, none of the four flash drives I own and have<br>
tried are recognised by the xbox. With the xbox either popping up a<br>
warning saying the memory stick is damaged, or it just completely<br>
ignores it :-( This is after dd'ing the trojan'd save game to the usb<br>
device... And yes, I've tried all four sizes of save game image.<br>
<br>
Is there anyone on this list, who's done the softmod bootloader<br>
exploit that has a compatible flash drive which works, that I could<br>
maybe borrow?<br>

Incidentally the dd process seems to have nuked one of my memory sticks:<br>
<br>
$ dmesg<br>
...<br>
[ 5692.959971] usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage<br>
[ 5692.959975] USB Mass Storage support registered.<br>
[ 5692.961278] usb-storage: device found at 2<br>
[ 5692.961282] usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning<br>

[ 5694.372036] hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1<br>
<br>
What with my luck, it would be my new £30 Lacie USB key... Any ideas<br>
on how to recover it, mkfs won't work, as it isn't yet listed under<br>
/dev/sdX<br>
