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

Thanks,
Netman

It has NOT been tested on a v1.1 xbox and until I do, I do not recommend it.

Remember that it copies the MS dashboard files from the v1.0 xbox over!

The X2 chip has nothing to do with it.

ok thanks. I will probaly give it a shot as soon as I get my chip. I just ordered it but they are out of stock.

Would there be any reason why it wouldnt?

THanks

Your guide says you can only put 20 games on the HD. So won't I be able to have 22 games even if I have 30 GB free?

Actually 20 was just a conservative number, you can put as many as you have space. I strongly recommend you only use partition6 (F:) drive as that will leave your save game data on (E:) with over 5GB of space for all those save games and it also keeps it "M$ compliant" in case they start to check the HD's for non M$ files.

So, any other comments on the Manual?

iwolf1,
I know you are a busy person and yes my requests and questions are getting too anoying but... I believe it is not just me needing the retail msxboxdash but a lot of newbees and some careless "professionals". Is there a way you could help us out? Also, just maybe you could also put a STERN warning for every newbees who would want to try your program to be VERY carefull and BACKUP their C\! before trying to install your program. Please do not get offended by this request but be BE VERY HAPPY coz your program was JUST TOO DAMN GOOD AND EASY to install and setup I never have to go thru all the hasle and troubles in modding my xbox and thus forgetting to backup my c\ .... Ayway, thanks once again and more power to you!

I am sincerely sorry that you did not have a backup. However I did post strong warnings, both in the comments of the RAR file, and in the NFO, as well as in the final option/ackgnowlegement, before your xbox is overwritten...
More than that I doubt anyone could possibly ask for.

If you still need that one file, just place a request in the newsgroups and I am sure either myself or anyone else would be glad to post that file for you. It is small and simple to do.

yea, im in the same boat as you tek. as soon as i got a good burn of that bad boy... i installed the program. but hey... wolf...

in the folder SlaYer_s_EvoX_Installer_v1_5\SYSTEM\RETAIL there is a file called msxboxdash.xbe thats not the retail by any chance is it?

and tek... if you do manage to get your hands on this file can you let me know...?

and wolf again... do you plan on making a v1.1 auto installer?

Good call Seye, I've actually had a major HD crash here so my mind must have been wondering...

YES, the MS Dashboard is located under both RETAIL and LARGE on the Install CD! And it is called "msxboxdash.xbe"! LOL
Oh, the installer is version 1.5, 1.0 was an "internal" build...

As I stated a few posts back, everyone will have to wait till after the holidays for the new 2.0 version... It will include a software update only option as well as choice of EvoX and nexGen Dashboards along with the latest XBMP2 version and any other cool tools like Team-Assembly's ConfigMagic. Since none are released as of yet this will take a few weeks... Also, since I do not have an Xbox 1.1 I cannot certify this tool fit for the v1.1 unless someone chooses to donate one to me for "medical research"

ok... gotcha wolf. i have a question... if u dont mind answering...

i have evox 2.5 currently installed on the box.

if i used evox dash to flash the bios to 2.6... all i have to do is upload the retail msdash.xbe to the c:\ and then i can install live right? without crashing...?

I am unsure why you think you have to update to the EvoX 2.6 bios and what that has to do with live?
You cannot play LIVE with the mod ON!

As for installing LIVE, it will erase almost all files from the C: and leave an updated dashboard called "xboxdash.xbe" as the main dasboard.

If your EvoX is called "evoxdash.xbe" or "yboxdash.xbe" you will be OK provided that your Bios/Mod chip boots from those files first, rather than "xboxdash.xbe" (BTW, EvoX 2.6 bios will look for "evoxdash.xbe")

Please read a little more in the FAQ and the LIVE forum before you attempt this if anythnig is unclear.

Good luck!

wolf,
i tried using the msxboxdash you have on your cd c:\system/retail... but to no avail! I also made sure the .ini points to msxdash.xbe and still no go for the msdash... any more suggestions.

Im using matrix and is set at 3.... any comments and suggestions on how to make this thing work is highly appreciated....

Hello I had a questions about your auto installer. If I just add more apps to the app folder before I make my ISO and burn it will it install these files too? or is it just set up to install whats already in there. Example if I add xbox watch to the apps folder will it install it on my xbox when I go install everything.

Yes, you can customize the installer to suit your needs... Just add another complete folder under the Apps folder at the same level as the others. It will be installed along with them. Alternatively if you do not want something installed just remove the folder for that program from the Apps folder but do not touch the Apps folder itself. Also, if you REMOVE something make sure to fix the evox.ini files in both the RETAIL and LARGE folders since the link will now be broken.

Enjoy!

P.S. Please remeber that these kind of questions should be posted and not emailed so everyone can be helped by the answers.

Yes. This installer is absolutely the best.

Now, if only I can figure out how to play VCDs from disc, I can get rid of my Apex!

I put my new 120 gb harddrive in my xbox. I just pulled out the retail and put in one i just bought but when i turn it on i get the service xbox screen. Do i need to do anything to my new drive first like format it or hook up any diffrent cables( I read that in the turtorials).

Just boot with my Auto Installer and in one button press your brand new HD becomes a fully configured and upgraded XBOX HD with all the apps pre-installed!

YEAH!

After installing the CD, will i be able to update certain software in the future (such as new XBMP), and how easy will this be to do.

p.s or when will the next Slayer package be coming out

Actually the XBMP2 included and installed by my Auto-Installer does support VCD's. You might however have to grab the latest "default.xbe" main file for it from the newsgroups. Latest is 12-23-02!

Sorry, but no new release till after nexGen and ConfigMagic come out....
