• NTFS and exfat not supported on Xbox 360
• The only option for Corona v2/v4 for dumping the NAND is the SD card method
• To fix a sidecar that had a bad FPGA flash (red ring), remove the sidecar. launch Xbox360 Command Prompt, turn the XDK on, set the XDK to default in Neighborhood, plug the DVDEMU port on the sidecar into your PC via USB, enter xkd /i:0, followed by y. It will write all 46 blocks and reboot when completed.
