ok m8, the bios ya got is all good - cant ya HOLD "A" on bootup and FTP in ?? if not try this
Also what i meant was, unplug the IDE cable, yes the ribbon type thing from ur HDD, just leave it connected from motherboard to DVD drive and then hanging where it WOULD plug to HDD.
Try turning on ur Xbox Holding "A" preying for FTP 2 kick in -
if it does plug the iDE back into the HDD and FTP ur backup off the PC back on
If it donT, insert a slayers auto installer or something simular, power down the xbox, leave the ribbon OuT again, boot up, if the disk loads, insert the ribbon and FTP away
if NEITHER work, i dunno m8, im stuck 4 ideas, ya gonna have 2 let me know WHAT is happening and what u can and cant do, try to eliminate as many possible causes as possible
and i was just saying that my EvoX d6 bios boots stuff with the HDD ide unplugged, but as u have a much newer bios than that, my guess is ur bios should be cool with that also, but as i not tested that i cannot tell ya, sorry m8, perseverence and elimination R the keys here i think, good look, and hope ya get somewhere with all this
