Features: (Both V1.0 and V1.1)
------------------------------
(Please check the configmagic.ini for all file locations and config options)

1. You can update your XBOX EEPROM in one of four ways
    * using a valid EEPROM.BIN file 
    * You can "build" a new eeprom image from a configuration file
    * Edit your current, loaded (.bin) or built (.cfg) eeprom data "On-The-Fly" 
    * use our BLIND restore feature to restore a .bin file if you have no visuals..

2. Blind Restore EEPROM if you have no Video image..
   Usage: (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A VALID EEPROM.BIN in \DATA)
    1) Boot ConfigMagic from DVD Drive
    2) Press A button to Skip Video (press A untill you see the orange light flash)
    3) Wait untill eject light flashes orange (flashing orange means ConfigMagic is ready)
    4) To Start Hold BOTH triggers and press WHITE button !
    5) Orange light stops flashing and stays steady (Steady orange means busy)
    6) If successfull Eject light will Flash GREEN (Flash Green means success!)
	*IF there was a problem loading/decrypting eeprom, Eject light will turn RED (Red means Error !)

2. You Can Lock and Unlock your HDD with the password created from your XBOX EEPROM
  * Simply Press Start to bring up the Menu, Then select Lock/Unlock HDD..

3. You can create backup of your current eeprom, HDD password and various other settings.
  * Make 100% SURE that the path in the configmagic.ini file is valid and exists !!

4. Security features will not allow a "bad" eeprom update, or update eeprom if HDD is still locked..

5. You can skip the Intro and Credits Movie by pressing A while movie is playing

6. ConfigMAgic should Auto Detect your XBOX Version, but if you have problems we suggest using the "Force" mode
   by specifying your XBOX Version in the configmagic.ini - Use this if you flashed previously bad eeprom image...
   We also suggest using this setting when using the "Blind Restore"
