There might be a couple things:

Are you using CD-RW?
Burn only at 4x
Close disk
Burn disk-at-once

Rember to try and boot evox on the stock hard drive first, before swapping drives so you can back it up.

DUMB · « **Reply #6 on:** March 13, 2003, 01:50:00 PM »

stock hard disc what does that mean i ve saved c and e to my pc if thats what it means. what would happen if i put my hard drive i my pc and saved the c and e from pc harddrive to my new xbox harddrive or does this plan suffer from termnal newbitus.

1) Create ISO using xISO
2) Burn ISO using xISO
3) Power on Xbox, put CD in, and then power down
4) Power on Xbox, and CD should boot. If not, try again.

Make sure you have the latest version of xISO

DUMB · « **Reply #8 on:** March 13, 2003, 02:13:00 PM »

done the 1-4 exactly but i used cdr i got xiso today so im sure its up to date .but i used the cdrs which i think cant be read as data cds i can play my music cds but i tried before i got my ftp running to put the halo patch on my harddrive but it could not read the disc. so this probly means it cant read cdr data cds god i hope it can read cdrw . by the way its a samsung drive. so any one think my puting the new blank drive in my pc saving c and e to it would work or am i dreaming of a simple plan.

oh yea i have a dvd called xbox recovery disc it came with the chip it has back up files and every xbox software program there is i hoped it could boot it but i hoped wrong.

No, the Xbox HD, when formatted, has a different file structure of a PC HD.

But anyways, why don't you just try a CDRW??

DUMB · « **Reply #10 on:** March 13, 2003, 03:56:00 PM »

i know you just shot my plan down in flames but i dont want my pc to read them i just want to transfer them from harddrive to harddrive, they are on pc harddrive now i can watch the game demos on them. oh man i clutch at straws . i cant use cdrw because its 12:49 at night and the shops are closed

i take it the xbox wont accept them if they are put on the hard drive from a normal pc harddrive. what am i thinking if it could be done there would be a tutorial
