I have the newest xecuter 2 bios. I see many tutorials telling me to have the Evox D6 EjectFix Bios. If I have to reflash it how do I do it? Thanks for the help
If you're just trying to install a new hard drive (through the EvoX HD installer) I sure you'll be OK with the Xecuter 2 bios. I know I did it with the same bios. But, if you do find yourself needing to reflash your chip, one way is through the flasher programmer available on www.system-mods.com for about $15 (This is the secure method, and for your chip if it has a bad bios on it and your xbox starts flashing red and green). !! This can be risky !! If you don't like the idea of that, you can actually download the ozxbios Cromwell application, burn it to a CD-RW through an Xiso image, run it when the xbox starts up, and then insert your new cd with the new bios.bin on it when it asks you to on the screen, and then reflash the chip through that! Here is the link for the OzxBios if you decide you need it! http://www.ozxchip.com/downloads/OzXBios_2.12dev.rar I would try installing the hard drive first with the bios you got! It should work.
if you have evox then switch your chip to unlocked, upload a bios to your xbox via ftp to the bios folder, and select flash chip from evox. but its true, you should be able to install a new hdd without upgrading the bios. Get an autoinstaller such as littlejonny, slayers etc, format the new drive (from stock retail) and install the apps you need. Remember if you LOCK your drive after, as a precaution, write down the password details, because should anything happen to your xbox mo/board then you cant unlock it.
Hi, just reading this thread and am into a simular deal... just installed a 120G hard drive in me xbox running evox dashboard, working great so far, now I am trying to figure out how to use the drive.... I downloaded boXplorer and am looking at the evox.ini config to figure out how I am going to add boXplorer to the menu,,,, Can someone help with this? Surely I don't have to re-invent the wheel that's been done over and over again.... Would greatly appreciate any help to complete this evox.ini file (maybe someone could post what it should look like), I am assuming that I will not have to flash my bios????
boXplorer has nothing to do with the evox.ini file. Goto x-scene.com and seach. There are many tuts on this. Xecuter4981 BIOS are the best, and support HD swapping. I swap hard drives by making an evoX HD Xchange disk.
I downloaded this, should I use 4981.06 or 4981.67? What makes 4981 better than newer ones? Thank You.
its personal prefrence really, the older ones are just trusted a little more. usually the newer the better, but if you are happy with what you have, just go with it!
