You may want to try a dvd-r if you have access.

Also, what model dvd drive in your xbox.

[christineyoung]

Samsung drives are the best at reading media, can even read CD-R media

Possibly you not burning properly.

The Slayers install you have, if you uncompress is it a bunch of files or an iso, if bunch of files this is your problem and you will need to create a xbox iso from these files and create an iso and burn it then.

Just burn a any bios.bin file that you wish to use as your bios to a CD along with about a 100mb dummy file and it should work. No need to do an Xiso burn for bio's cd's.

Ist it a solid orange, or a flashing orange?

New issue with the xbox. Now the LED lights up red, orange and then stays green. I do not much care since the bios loads, but i still cannot get any of my media to work. I have burned the iso file from slayer to many different disks and I cannot get it to work. Is there a reason why none of my disks are working? (my dvd burner is only +r, cannot burn -r). I have now used sony, memorex, maxell, and duraband. All have failed. I do not wan tto give up because I have been trying to mod my xbox for weeks, but this is just becoming too much of a hassle to even deal with.

Ok, upon booting cromwell, your LED's will go a little wacky like you say, or atleast mine do too. If your having so much trouble flashing it with a disc, why dont you just go out, spend the $4 on a USB cable, and flash it Via usb?

twisted.....issue isn't bios....its loading slayers.


1st off how big is your slayers image iso? is ther a readme or nfo file that may suggest loading details?


Since you have a samsung drive you can try cdr media.

But dont you need a hacked bios to cold boot Slayers? I didnt think that legaly cromwell could do that, so she needs to flash her bio's with lets say X2 4981.06 or something and then boot that while the cd is in the drive.

twisted.penguin: 1st post states has M8 loaded on xchip....  I myself forget beginning of threads and assume sometimes.

But issue is either compatible media or burning?

Maybe try burning iso again on dvd+r as they do work on samsung, but at slowest speed of burner 1x or 2x.

[twisted.penguin]

Sorry Sorry Sorry, wow, I'm an idiot, please disregard all my posts.

Thank you both for all your help. The issue isn't the bios, the issue is the media. I have been using Nero Express to burn the dvd+r's. I just cannot get slayer's to load. The iso file is 215 megabytes. Could the file not have extracted properly?

Again thank you. This is just so frustrating.

[christineyoung]

You coudl extract ISO to harddrive and then use a program, like cration to make a new xbos iso out of an dtry again.

[christineyoung]

1st off grab an ISO extraction tool off internet , do a google search and extarct your slayers ISO

2ndly open cration and click on create new iso, select directory where you extracted slayesr contents, select a place to save file and call it hopeitworks.iso  now let it do its work, and burn this image using nero and see if it works.  <- This is using Cration 4

[jackie]

I got it to work. I had to use dvd-decrypter to burn the disk. It would not burn from Nero Express. Thank you very much for all your help.

[christineyoung]

Good to hear.


You may wnat to try Nero and not Nero Express, as I always use Nero without issues.  But since you found a program that works, stick with it.
