    How do you 'factory reset' a standard Xbox?

    I've got an Xbox that I want to give to my nephew as i'll be buying an Xbox 360 in a few weeks time. Is there a way to 'factory reset' it so that he can start from scratch?

    Not sure you can reset it but he can do the set-up all over again from scratch, the option is in the system blade.

    Yeah, just access the memory and delete all the savegames, music etc that you have on there, closest you will get to factory settings.

    Yeah just delete your savegames, perhaps reset the clock - I don't think you can factory reset it.
    About the system blade - that's on Xbox 360 not Xbox

    Can you be a bit more specific as to what your problem is please Jayman. More info you give the easier it is to troubleshoot.

    Also, have you had a look through our dedicated Xbox bit in gaming, may actually fine what you are looking for there.
