Right now I have the v1.0 xbox and Enigmah chip. I am going to get a new xbox with the new xecuter2 chip. I waht to keep the old hd in tact so I will install a much bigger drive. My question is can I still get to my currect hd from my pc to save all of game saves? I dont have evox x installed. It is jsut the standard hd.
Thanks,
Netman

| QUOTE (RobwDav @ Dec 20 2002, 06:53 PM) | Well, I finally did it! I landed the rar. -still unable to create a succesful cdrw though. So I figured I'd ask this question before I f'd up. Can Slayer's util. be run from the cd, or must it be installed? You see, I'm not to keen on the flashing process, but I know that my x can't be, and I didn't want to f- anything up. I don't mind the format/recreation of er'ything, but is there a failsafe, or way to get my ms dash back, if say something crazy like a train derails and I lose power during the process? lol! I love the idea of getting all those progs on there, but since I haven't been able to load it yet, I was lookin for some insight of the process. I see several peeps are loving this thing, so I would appreciate any input you may have.  |
The surest way to test to see if the cdrw you created is working or not is try to read it in with windows explorer on your pc.
If you can see ANY files its not created correctly. What I had to do to get mine to work was the following:
1) download slayers evox file.
2) Unzip to a folder (eg, SLAYERCD)
3) d/l a util called isomaker1.1
4) run isomaker and point it to the folder where you unzipped slayers' evox cd. (eg, SLAYERCD)
5) specify what you want the iso called and where you want it saved to (IT CANT BE THE SAME FOLDER YOU UNZIPPED SLAYERS EVOX CD TO!) (eg, C:\temp\slayercd.iso)
6) burn the iso with nero or some other cd burn software that supports iso's.
7) put the cd in your xbox and power on!! Thats it..
NOTES:
YOu do not have to "install evox software to HD" to make it run. It runs off the cd. (although, as far as I know, you have to run evox dashboard from the cd) nor do you have to flash your mod chip bios with it. (I flashed my matrix with evox2.6noanibluered and put it in mode 3 and installed it in my xbox) To learn a bit how the xbox works, you have to understand that when you power it on, and there is a dvd in the drive, that takes priority over the hd. If there is no dvd, the hardrive boots up with whatever file your mod bios is looking for (eg, xboxdash.xbe, evoxdash.xbe or yboxdash.xbe).
Also, as a added tip, you might want to look at the evox.ini file BEFORE you create your iso. You can modify the network parameters in it to make it easier for you to connect from your pc.
Hope this helps..

Thanks for trying to help our gbrandon, but eveyone concearned with making the CD-RW work, please remember that I have already created 2 versions of the tool that have ISO's in them and all you need to do is burn the ISO with any tool you like. If your Xbox recognizes that particular media you use, you will have no problems.
I really wish that people would read through an entire post before asking about how to make the ISO, especially since I've posted already that 2 pre-built ISO versions were already released.
As for backing up your save games and dashboard before running my tool and erasing and rebuilding everything, the Installer CD is based on EvoX so an FTP server is immediately present as soon as the interface starts up. FTP to the IP on your screen and backup your stuff!
Any more feedbacks from people who already used it? Comments, thoughts?
Thanks!

| QUOTE (JamesBee @ Dec 21 2002, 01:31 AM) | one thing, why do you call it msxboxdash.xbe??
on my PAL xbox the default name is xboxdash.xbe not msxboxdash.xbe
Am I missing an obvious point here?
-JamesBee |
I simply use the default that EvoX uses. If you check the release "evox.ini" file in all the authentic releases, the MS dashboard is referenced/called "msxboxdash.xbe"
I did not have time to re-invent the wheel...

| QUOTE (JamesBee @ Dec 21 2002, 01:48 AM) | if you format your hard disks and then only have a file called msxboxdash.xbe then won't that cause problems?
Should their not be a file called xboxdash.xbe?
I can understand why they default it to that on the evox dash as they have to assume alot of people will run the evox dash as xboxdash.xbe and rename the original dash.
Won't this installer cause problems for people with older mod chips?? As the boot will look for xboxdash.xbe and find nothing or again did I miss something??
Thanks

I am sorry to say JamesBee, but you must do a little more reading on the subject. There a re few great tutorials written about the way EvoX and the bioses/mod chips work.
If you've read my posts carefully (just a couple above this one) you would have read that I have tried to account for most mods/bioses by creating 3 copies of the EvoX dash on the C: partition of the Hard Drive.
Please post questions about EvoX general operation and mod chip functionality in the appropriate forums, after you've read the FAQ's. I am in now way discouraging you from asking questions but this is too basic for this particular thread.
Good Luck!

1wolf1:
My apologies (although I was never critizing your work). It was late and for somereason I missed the xboxdash.xbe (renamed evox) when I unpacked it. Which of course was my original point that with it missing then it would cause problems booting on older modded systems.

  Ok, this is how to reburn these files to disc: CDRW creators: - Put a 100 meg dummy file in place - Create an ISO using the correct utility - Burn using the FireBurner method DVD-R and DVD-RW creators: - Use Prassi to create a new job - Prassi will finalize the session

Has anyone used this to install a new hd with a xbox 1.1 and the new xecute2 chip?
Thanks,
