Were is the bios flash option in my dash.

So just to recap what has been said so far, am I right in thinking that the 1.5 version of the installer *can* work on a 1.1 Xbox if the following steps are taken? (based of SlaYer's, optical's and Netman's recent posts). 1. Modded 1.1 Xbox, Evox D.6 bios with virgin drive, back up all partitions. 2. Replace original drive with new drive and boot 1.5 installer 3. Run the option to setup the new disk. additional steps over 1.0 box 4. ftp back from PC/backup     default.xip as default.xip     Memory2.xip as Memory2.xip     xboxdash.xbe renamed as msxboxdash.xbe Will this do the trick or does this mean I would still get the Error 21 message when trying to access the original MS dashboard from EvolutionX menu? Fatlab

Pretty much. here's what you do,

on a modded v1.1 xbox, run a Evo-x boot ISO. Backup your whole original MS xbox HD with FlashFXP FTP. Then , install your new HD and run slayer's installer. Once that is done, FTP the three files default.xip, memory2.xip and xboxdash.xbe renamed to msxboxdash.xbe. Also, if your original HD had "xboxdashdata. 10027100" and "xodash" folder's in your C drive you should FTP them also, in the xodash folder  rename xonlinedash.xbe to msxonlinedash.xbe and and add your Evo-x xboxdash.xbe renamed to xonlinedash.xbe in the  "xodash" folder as well. Plus you should delete the update.xbe file in the "xodash" folder

AND....Last but not least , in your Evox.ini file in the area at the bottom Titled "Section Root" you need to add this with all the other items ;

Item "MS Xbox Live","c:\xodash\msxonlinedash.xbe"

After all this is done you will be able to select MS dash and it will take you to your MS dash. When in MS dash you will be able to select your Evox dash by selecting Xbox live Pretty cool huh?

optical,

Thanks for the clarification, that's just what I needed to know. I assume the 'xboxdashdata' stuff is related to Xbox live? If so it's irrelevant to me as ISDN is the best I can get. I have read that certain games like splinter cell copy over update.xbe. Do they only do that if Live is installed?

Finally, to complete the last part of the puzzle, do I only need to lock the HD if I intend to boot virgin bios without the mod chip installed?

Why do I get an error 5 when I disable my mod chip?

I have the x 2 lite.

[Netman]

Yep thats exactly what I did on Friday.  Us his tool and choose larger hd.

Make sure you backup your old hd first.  You will need to restore c and e when you are all done.

Read the tutorials first then ask questions - saves you time and others time by helping you with things the tutorial couldn't

No, they only do that if live is'nt installed. I think the update.xbe is'nt needed once live is installed afterword's.

I'm not totally sure about locking the HD and booting a virgin BIOS as i have not done it yet. But...I can play original games with my modchip disabled on MS dash with no problem's. I believe(not sure) that the only time a non-locked HD will give you problem's would be with xbox live.

YES it will work, you are correct.  The trick is just getting the 3 files for the M$ Dash back on.

Version 2.0 coming out this week will support both.  The V1.1 support is from M$ Dash 4817.

If you have a different Dash for your v1.1 xbox, please PM me so I can add it to the installer before I release.  Remember it's the D:# not the K:# that matters from System Info.

WOLF1, I'm a new babeeee, I got xbox with x-cuter mod chip in it and want to install 120g HD all I have to do is take the old or the orignal HD out and them install the new HD with this great Evox Auto-installer and everything will be fine right??? and if I mess it up can I use my  original HD that I had take it out and put it back...... (the original HD was never touch)...

You are 90% correct.  You can boot with my installer CD but before doing anything, back up the original HD to your PC via FTP.  there are plenty of tutorials on this.

Once you have a good backup on your PC you can replace the HD and actaully "run" the installer.  You'll be fine.

Also, remember that if it's a v1.1 or a rare v1.0 you might get error 21 when launching the M$ dash.  To fix that if it ever happends just wait for my v2.0 installer to be released later this week.

Good luck!

1wolf1,

How about adding this to the evox.ini file so we can flash out chip bios.

Item "Flash BIOS",@1


This was the one piece to the puzzle I was missing.

Thanks,

If you are installing a bigger hard drive, and leaving your original hard drive untouched, why would you need to back up your C: and E: drive ?

Thanks

Your e is all your game saves and c has some files specific to your xbox.
