    well in my previous post i stated that... i am modding a second xbox, but there are issues... loading apps. so here is what has happened
    1. hard mod xecuter 2.6 / 400gb seagate hdd
    2> cromwell is fine , flash mod chip w/ bios 3935
    >3. slayers AIDv2.6 format and upgrade and install apps on HDD
    >>>>4. WT??? now i go to load DVD2XBOX and a NO GO...
    5. ok i have a working XBOX w/ similar specs vs. 250gb WD HDD
    so i can FTP in and clone my C:\ drive to make it work right? nope
    ok i will FTP my Z,X,Y,C,and F:\apps .....all into the proper locations fire it up and give it a shot... well what the heck? so when i go to load the apps ie.( avalaunch, DVD2XBOX, or any other the slayer loading screen appears and well it just hangs there, but what baffles me is that this is a virtual clone of my upgraded HDD, vice the Games on it, so where might i be going wrong? i have tried toggling the TSR, and the IGR, i have looked at the .ini files, but still i am at a loss.... so any help would be great.

    i am willing to try whatever you all have to offer

    hmm... well its worth a try but the question is why does the 3935 work on my first one and not on the second? is it b/c its on the chip and i flashed the bios wrong... but if that is the case, then why does evox load perfectly?? this is quite perplexing. so i must learn how to reflash the mod chip... this i have yet to do. is this possible with the slayers disc?

    again thank you for your help theridges. please keep it coming.

    x2 programmer >>>ok
    but i thought that you can flash the bios with a boot disc tool. ie.( slayers AID, or what yyou said AID 3.0? )

    can you clarify ?
    and where is the X2 programmer, from Divineo?
    or isn't there a way to FTP the bios flash ?

    unfortunately both of my bios banks are flashed w/ the 3935 on my first xbox . but i think i may want to upgrade them, for s&G. and you seem very knowledgableso figured i would pick your brain on this one.
    and thanks again for your input, but i think i needc more indepth tutorial if you find a link before i do that would be very much appreciated.

    the second one is done.

    yea you will have to buy the X2 programmer which lets you tap right into the chip's banks to put the cromwell back on one of them to reflash.....thats the only thing with the X2 you should always leave the cromwell on one bank....
