i'm still getting a slow boot and flashing red leds when i boot b/c there is no dvd drive connected. i'm doing an external dvd that will not be connected 90% of the time. what's the best way to do this? i was told edit the bios to not load from dvd first. so i edited with xbtool(and i opted for larger f drive, and changed boot colors), i deleted the dvd drives xbe from the list. is this all i have to do? thanks for the help

yes about the animation, just killed it(didn't like it anyways). why does it matter anyways? just curious.

and i'll try something with the dvd wire. thanks

so if i just turn the animation off, then i shouldnt' even bother messing with the dvd wire? should i delete the dvd boot .xbe(or whatever the file extension is) in xbtool? thanks, lots of help you guys are

bump, if that's allowed

no bumping allowed, this is go carts, not bumper carts

but flashing red is an error that has to do with a messed up eeprom

i meant, don't yell at me b/c i bumped the same day!

but back to my question, if i don't use the animation, should i delete the xbe for the dvd drive in xbtool?

and i doubt it's my eeprom, it goes away when i plug the dvd drive in.

yes i did, and i'm just making sure i'm following you. i turned the animation off. but someone else said i should remove the dvd from the boot order in xbtool. were they correct? or shoudl i put the dvd's xbe back in its spot in xbtool?
