Evox Bios Installs Fine, But Won't Boot (detailed)
« on: April 05, 2004, 09:42:00 PM »

I have a version 1.0 xbox with a thomson dvd drive. It will read Dvd-r and slowly dvd+rw. Question is this. I have managed to burn the bios disk and install EvoX M7 ef with no problems from the dvds. My problem comes when I start the Evox M7 ef bios and try to boot the xbox. The Xbox goes back to the default.xbe dash. I have the following files on the dvd:

DIRECTORY ROOT
abc.dat 50 meg dummy file
bios.bin
default.xbe
evox.ini
evoxdash.xbe
EvoxM7_ef.bin

DIRECTORY BIOS
abc.dat 50 meg dummy file
EvolutionX M7 Bios.nfo
EvoxM7.bin

DIRECTORY SKIN
default skins in here with another abc.dat file

DIRECTORY TRAINERS
default trainers in here with another abc.dat file

My evox.ini file reads as follows:

As I said, I have gotten the bios to flash, but can't get past that point. Any help would be wonderful. Thank you.
