Evox Boot Up Is Slow
« Reply #1 on: June 22, 2003, 05:05:00 PM »

Well as you can see from the title of the subject line, i'm having problems with my xbox again.

I was playing Fuzion Frenzy directly off of the hard drive when all on a sudden when trying to load level 3 of my tournament match all I got was a black screen.

I waited a bit and then turned off the xbox. When I turned the xbox back on the flubber (boot up animation) comes up and then it says matrix inside down at the bottom. When first looking at this you would think that it's just hanging there displaying Matrix Inside but every 4 or 5 seconds the screen tries to refresh itself in loading up my evox dashboard.

I've also tried to load evox directly from CD-RW and I'm getting almost the same thing only the boot up is faster but still choppy.

I've managed to get into EVOX and noticed that my CPU is running about 50 degrees  Celcius so i've decided to shut it down again.

I've also tried loading my game from DVD by booting the xbox by hitting the eject button and throwing in a game before the flubber animation ends. I close the tray and the game boots fine.

Any idea as to what I can or what I should do?

Similar situation:
I have 2 XBOX's one is a 1.0 and the other is a 1.1. Both have a Matrix chip installed with 120GB HDDs. Same BIOS, same dashboard, same everything to my knowledge.
The 1.1 works awesome!
The 1.0 doesn't boot correctly. The XBOX animation at bootup comes up normally, then it takes about 2 minutes for Evo-X to slowly start becoming visible. The Dashboard is so slow at changing from one option to the next. Games run super slow(if at all), applications except media player 2.4 all run slow and emulators run slow too.
Even the boot discs reacts super slow too.
What is strange is the Game discs run fine.

I have swapped ribbon cables, mod chips, HDD's and etc... They all work fine in the 1.1 XBOX but nothing works well in the 1.0 XBOX. As far as I can tell there are no burnt traces or crap like that.

ANy Ideas?

My XBOX is a version 1.1 and after some time, it started working correctly again. Not sure how but it was working fine again.

As of last night though, I got the same thing only this time it's wiped out my F drive. F Drive is displaying as 0 bytes. My Region Free DVD player application has been wiped out as well.
And my DIVX, MP3 Player app was gone too.

Every time I try booting the xbox to the evox dash it refreshes the screen every 2 to 3 seconds slowly making the dashboard appear in it's entirety, which will take something, like 3 to 4 minutes to do. Then when trying to make a selection from the menu, it will take some additional time for it to respond.

Seeing that I can still FTP to the xbox, I decided to check out the rest of the drives and found some stuff on the X,Y and Z drive.

As soon as I cleaned that up, the dashboard was responding smoothly but still nothing shows up on my F Drive.

Decided to reboot and try again only to find that the dashboard once again is going through it's slow motion display to the screen.

Anyone else having this sort of problem or has had this problem in the past and has resolved it?

I'm thinking the drive needs defragging but as of yet there is no utility to defrag a FATX drive  :(

Please HELP!!!
