Thomson Drive Wont Read Boot Disc
« on: May 19, 2003, 08:57:00 AM »
I have a Xecuter 2 lite plus mod chip installed on my xbox with a thomson drive.  I flashed the chip with the evox bios using the ozxflash software.  I burnt both the ozxflash iso and the bios on sony cd-rw's using nero.  I burnt them at 2x speed, finalized the cd, and used track at once.  They both loaded on my xbox and it said i flashed the chip.  Now when i boot my xbox up, it looks like a regular xbox with no difference at all.  Is that supposed to happen?
Now I am trying to load the evox dashboard.  I burn the iso of the evox dashboard the same way i burnt the bios but it cant read the disc.  I have tried numerous different ways to burn it and cant get the xbox to read it.  My xbox wont even read regular xbox games.  I dont know why this is and would appreciate any suggestions.

I switched off the chip and they still did not work.  I got the error "Your xbox cant read the disc.  Make sure it is an xbox game, dvd, or audio cd"  The error message was somethig like that.

Hey dude,

Thompson drives have a hard time reading any burned CDs. You may be out of luck on this. I know of a few cases that people could not get the drive to recognize any CDs. When I mod my friends xboxs, I have had to use my Philips drive in place of their Thompson drives to load the intial boot disk so that I can FTP into the hard drive. Check the forums for some tricks. There is also a tutorial on tampering with the laser on the drive. Best of luck!
