ok that is what I thought. sorry for asking so many questions but should i use the newest version of FlashX to flash them or use evox to flash them? And also in xbtool would i have to change the order of how the dashboard will load for the second bios so that it doesn't load evox first but instead loads gentoox or whatever other dash i put on?

Here's a screenshot for xbtool. Yes, you can tell the bios which dash to boot from which partition. I've never used FlashX, but evox has worked fine for me everytime.

Yeah, no problem. In terms of linux, I would recommend gentoox. It is the easiest for beginners and is updated frequently (new version was released today).

i want to put the evox bios in my second bank so i went into xbtool and edited everything the way i want it. But I want to run only gentoox on these bios. So in xbtool what .xbe should i have to boot first under the boot partitions and executables part? Cuz if i put the evoxdash.xbe as first it will boot evox which i dont want to boot first. Or will I have to put gentoox on a whole different partition on the xbox since it is so big? Right now i only have the stock 8gb harddrive with only like a gig and a half left. I will be getting a much larger one within probably a month or so.

Hey,

To run gentoox off of your hard drive, you will need to wait until you get a bigger hard drive because gentoox takes up 3.5 gb of space. But once you do get a bigger a hd, you can choose to install it on your e or f partition. So... the executable will be e:gentooxx.xbe or f:gentooxx.xbe

I ended up using x2 4977 and evoxM7 bios. For anyone who reads this in the future I used flashX v1.2 to flash it and made 2 seperate bios files each being 512k instead of making a 1 mb file consisting of each. As soon as I get my bigger harddrive gentoox is going on it right away. Well thanks a ton again for all your help. Couldn't have done it with out ya
