Does the burned media compatibles with your dvd drive. A lot of xbox dvd drives have problems with cdr. However, most dvd media should work with all the xbox dvd drives. Did you burn the media correctly. As you know burning xbox media is not the same as burning PC games. Check those steps before you say your chip doesn't read copied media.

I had an old Enigmah Modchip in before, and i burned the dash .img file with Nero on a CD-RW and it worked fine and booted.

But now i deleted the old one and it says it cant read it.

I assume you solder everything correctly. However, can you boot the system with the chip on, does the system boots with aladdin chip's bios or the original bios. Does the xbox logo change color with the chip on. I mean if you boot with the chip on. Most likely, the guy that sold it to you has flashed the chip with an xbox bios instead of a hacked bios that play copies.

I can boot the Xbox with no problems and the logo is green.
Also everything else is normal.
In the manual it says that you have to hold the power on  5sec and then let go when the led is flashing, But the led wont flash....

I bought it here:

http://www.gamefreax.com/cgi-bin/lshop.cgi...rtnum=1167&ls=e

it says on that page:
The Chip is preprogrammed with the latest Linux BIOS including Flashroutine.

You can flash any BIOS like e.g. Xecuter2 or EvolutionX into the Chip once you installed it into your XBox.


But HOW can i flash t then if it doesnt read copied media? :'(

If the light doesn't flash, it means that u didn't solder all the points. However, flashing feature is optional. I think it will still work  as long you hold the power button for 5 seconds. When you turn on your xbox, did you see the linux screen to flash your chip. If you do, you can create a bios cd to flash the chip. YOu can find more info at http://www.teamxecuter.com/. If you don't see the linux screen, you didn't solder it correctly.
