Need Help burning ISO

Thanks for the help...again!

I got my chip today so i decided to install it.. I used the link you provided and gone through it all and now am happy to say it all works fine. I'm just downloading x2 bios and evoX dashboard (downloaded from xboxstation). When I re-read what to do next i will be updating the bios and installing dashboard.

My new disk hasnt turned up yet but I can cope with the current one until then.

Thanks for the help again,

Law

 

help?!

I cant flash my bios. I looked through some tutorials and they are either incomplete or just dont work. any ideas? it can read my media, then says something along the lines of "No BIOS UPDATE FOUND"

 

Umm which chip do you have? Can you get to the chip's O.S.? I need more info so if you can, provide all the info you can on hardware and software you have.

 

I've got a problem about flashing my xbox,it need a cd for it ,after I put Xecuter2.3lite plus in it.I did look though many tutorials on x-scene about how to make a BIOS disk ,so I actually need a X2 bios bin file. If somebody have that,or know where I can find it , please help. many Thanks.

 

hi Achilles3, I managed to figure it all out in the end, but accidently did something stupid (in the process learning many valuable lessons! lol).

OK, so the problem was not my media, xbox or chip (SONY CD-RW, Xbox v1.5 and xecuter lite plus) - the problem was using bios manager. I did what some tutorial said, which was create a bios of size 256, but after hours of banging my head against a wall i decided to look up my chip's spec, and realised it was 1024... so i created a bios of size 1024 covering 4 banks... so now i installed X2 on both banks, I should be able to flash the bios again with evoX sometime in the future, but I think i should have put it on one bank, and left the other just for flashbios. Thanks for offering your help again though. I managed to sort that problem out and then stick EvoX on there now too! yey... my next task is to wait until my 120GB HD comes through and then install that (should be interesting! :S ). I am also interested in installing things like XBMC so i will have to check that stuff out too... the easiest part of this whole thing so far was the evox side.


fondson - if you need the bios then you can find it in the downloads at:

http://www.xboxstation.com/

Go for X2 4983 - use x2biosmanager to open the bios and then save the bios as bios.bin. Use this file and burn to a CD-RW. Some people use dummy files but i didnt and it flashed fine.

You can also get evoX on the same site... thats the easy part - if you want i can send you links to a half decent tutorial for evoX installation.

 

Glad to hear the good news AntiLaw, check out this little guide on replacing the factory HDD.

http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/hdd-install2.php

I used this guide when replacing mine, it's very simple. Just follow the steps and read them carefully.

 

Thanks for the link... its funny cos I got a print out of that exact tutorial i was planning to use already, so now Im more confident to know it works!

 

sorry - i also forgot to mention that my friend pointed out a harddisk installer called slayer. Aparently it does everything, you just stick your harddisk in blank, put in the CD and it partitions the disk, installs evoX and all the tools you need like games managers and media players... i was thinkin of giving it a try, but i might like to just do it manually first to get the experience! Have you heard of slayer?

 

Yeah Slayer's Auto-installer disk is great, I used it to set everything up in my Xbox. However, you still need to back up your "C" and "E" folders from your current Xbox's HDD. The Evox .xbe file should be placed in the disc root and changed to "default.xbe". The "evox.ini" should be changed by openning it in notepad. Make sure the network settings are set correctly for your home network. Under "Misc" you might need to use the option "UseFDrive" and change it to "Yes".

That's about it. After you burn all that onto a CD-RW, take out the original HDD and replace it with the new one you bought. Insert the disc and it should work. Then you can put the Slayer's disc in and install whatever else you need.

I thought it was just a install disk that did everything, no need to backup - but I will make sure I keep a backup then. Do you just then copy the contents of the C and E back over to the xbox after changing the harddisk? E is saved games and C is OS files isnt it?

 

That is correct, the new HDD is not gonna have the Xbox's system files or saved files so Xbox is not gonna work.
