Real Newbie Question!
« on: January 30, 2004, 05:52:00 PM »
if i say i have the XBIT chip and slayer auto installer and a MAXTOR 200GB 7200RPM UDMA133 10MS 8MB, do i just have to burn slayer with NERO to a CDRW put it to the thompson drive and install it to the MAXTOR harddisk and thats it, slayers auto install will do the rest, everything is necessary to run evox, or linux??

cuz i dont have a clue on what i am doing, i just know i want da chip inside ma box with evox on it.. and the rest.

do i have to FLASH something or do anything before installing the chip, evox and changing the harddrive??
i know for the harddrive i have to unlock it first, back it up, put MAXTOR HDD inside my pc to lock it, after remove it and place it inside xbox and then run slayers auto installer. Slayer will do the rest?

later

Do you know what bios is on your chip?

And you don't need to lock your new HDD.

Edit: lock, not unlock.  You can easily lock using configmagic, so no need to put it in a pc

Pretty much. Just burn the slayer's iso to CDRW then boot the xbox with it then install to xbox and reboot.

Before installing the chip a bios that can run unsigned code (Xecuter) must be flashed to the chip before installing EvoX.

The HDD can be locked with EvoX after the chip and dash are installed.

What program does your xbox boot into when you turn it on?
