I just put a X2.1 Pro modchip in my friends XBOX. It's a 1.1.
Flashed with X2 4978.03 BIOS. Box works fine..until....
...my EvoX boot discs wont boot. He's got a Thompson drive. I've tried CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW, and none work.
Whats up?

P.S. And yes, I burned them correctly.

I did that, exactly as the tutorial said. The XBOX fragged.

The XBOX works fine, I installed the chip perfectly, and everything is OK. It's just that it frags when I try to do that pc-dvd rom mod.

I don't know if this will help but here goes: I had huge problems getting my v 1.0 thomson drive xbox to read any disc with evox on it. I tried everything: different brands, different burning specifications in nero, burned dvds, and I even tried using my pc dvd drive. Then this other guy on a thread I posted told me to download ultraiso and use it instead of nero to burn the iso of evox. I burned my slayers v 2.5 with ultraiso onto a tdk cdrw and it worked the first time I put it in the box.

I hope that helps. The only difference between your problem and mine is that my xbox wasn't ever "fragging."

sounds good to me...
but how do you burn isos with UltraISO? I couldn't seem to find any burn feature in the 30 day trial.

Check the jumper on the cd rom drive.

whoa... wait... jumper? Do you mean what sets it in slave mode (the little white pin)? I'm sure I've got it in slave mode (the middle set of pins), and I've got a 5.25 Y-Splitter going directly from the HDD power cable to the pc drive, and I just pull the IDE cable out of the DVD drive and plug it into the PC one... and I already used the the PC drive to flash my bios, thats why I am so confused.

And about that burn button, boy do I feel stupid now. Unfortunately it seems the program burns faster than I would like it to and I can't seem to find how to adjust the speed (I haven't picked up and TDK cdrws yet though either, memorex dindt work...)

Sorry, I should have named littlegreenbeast and given you the other thread, but luckily he was responsible enough to do so. I just wanted to get the message out to some other people that ultraiso solved my month-long problem. As for ultraiso, I'm not expert yet. littlegreenbeast is your man.

littlegreenbeast · « **Reply #10 on:** November 09, 2003, 07:01:00 PM »

dont worry about the burn speed i was using slower CDRW's like a 4x i think and it told me it was burning them at 12x, that still worked so don't worry about it

also i got the imation cdrws to work and they seem to be sweet

Littlegreenbeast is THE MAN! After spending over two weeks with a pile of useless CD-RWs trying to burn a copy of EvoX from the other tutorials (Craxtion with Nero), I got only one working copy out of 8 CD-RWs. And that copy sucked because I didn't edit the evo.ini file. I used UltraISO after finding his post this morning, burned at 4x using a much smaller dummy file because of the shareware limitations on UltraISO, and BAM! First burn, first time I loaded the CD-RW into the Xbox and I was greeted with the ExoX dashboard! They really need to stick this thread into the tutorial page and get rid of all the other useless misleading garbage for burning usuable CD-RWs. Now to figure out how to hook my PC to the Xbox.

Ok guys i see that you are having problem loading those program from the CD-rw. One thing that i know it could be your DVD-rom or the way you burn the CD. One thing that i have notice is that if you have thompson it has a lot of issues with the CD-rw. It is well known to be picky with the CD-rw. If you have a Philips and it does not recognize your CDrw then it is the way you burn the cd. Follow JonDante tutorial it will work 100% secure.

BUMP!

Searched high and low, and this is what worked for me!

Convert with SimpleXISO
Burn with UltraISO (I used Imation CD-RW)

Thanks!

Just want to Bump this thread up. I Have been having trouble getting evo-x to load from my memorex cd-rw all day. I have tried burning it atleast 10x using different methods and none worked. Well i found this thread, burned the cd using UltraISO and First try it works. Anyone still having trouble getting their thompson to read their boot disk, should try UltraISO.
