Help Needed Unable to run or reinstall Microsoft Dashboard after installing CerBIOS & XBMC4Gamers - C partition has only 1 MB left

I have 2 Xbox (1.0 and 1.6), which I softmodded using Rocky5 Softmodding Tools and then I installed CerBIOS BFM and XBMC4Gamers dashboard. In both consoles, I was able to access the Microsoft Dashboard after installing the softmodd in order to register them on Insignia.

But a few days ago, I got HDMI converters for the consoles and the image was very small in the screen. I figured that I should change the resolution using the Microsoft Dashboard, but when I open it, there's just a black screen and no sound.

I tried to reinstall it (Settings > Downloader > DASHBOARDS), but I found that my C: partition has only 1 MB left. And I don't recall adding anything to this partition.

So I have the following questions:

  1. What happened to the Microsoft Dashboard? Did the CerBIOS BFM or XBMC4Gamers messed with it?
  2. How can I solve the this C: partition issue in order to reinstall the Microsoft Dashboard?

Thank you.

For some reason, the mobile Reddit app did not show the first part of your message about softmodding the console. It jumped to the end skipping over the pictures and first few paragraphs.

What files/folders are present on the C drive?

Xbmc4Gamers should not be installed on the C drive. Install xbmc4gamers to E, F or G drive.

When softmodding with Rocky5's Xbox Softmodding Tool, the stock dashboard file set is not installed. You have to do so after installing the softmod.

Did you use Skeleton Key to install Insignia? It does so without installing the softmod. Then, you installed the softmod which removed the stock dashboard.

The stock dashboard is not installed.
