4981 Slow Boot, No Dvd Drive
« on: September 20, 2004, 09:38:00 AM »

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

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.
