That's a great help! Your above steps were how I thought I read the install
but was hoping someone had already given it shot.
 I'd stumbled across 404 a couple months ago but was unable to get my XBOX
to boot from a CD so I was unable to do the install. A loopback install will
get me going again though, I like the ability to play my old games and run
Myth...
 Did you get your install to work? or are you still having problems with the
loopback?
 I thought I read a post on 404 that it might have been a Kernel issue with
the loopback issue?
 Thanks.
 AJM,
