I downloaded xboxhdm 1.9 from two different sources. I put my files in the c: and e: and the eeprom.bin in the eeprom file. I executed the make-iso-.bat file like i was supposed to. Now heres the problem. Xboxhdm loads up to the main screen just fine, but when i select any of the choices my computer just reboots and loads up with the main screen again. Why is this happening? Is there something i forgot to do? All help appreciated.

What screen does it freeze on for you?

[dumdasme]

it doesn't freeze. It gets to the main screen and when i choose any of the options it reboots the computer.  I tried the cd on my friends laptop and xboxhdm worked fine.  Do i need to update my bios or something?  Thanks for any help

Can Anyone help at all or even at least point me in the right direction!

Ok Try this, disconnect all Drive's except the drive with the Xboxhdm CD-R and also plug the power cable into the HD you want to build,  Boot to CD then when the menu is up connect the IDE cable into the back of the HD you want to build.  Then select an option.

If your computer still restarts, check your bios for security features and anything else that may effect the CD booting.

Let me know how you get on.  Also make sure the jumpers are correct on both the CD-ROM and HD.

thanks, i'll try this, hopefully it will work.  I also kind of need to access my pc hdd with xboxhdm to extract an eeprom off of an image.   I'll try this same idea and see if i can get it to work.  Thanks for the help.

p.s. about the bios, someone suggested i download knoppix and see if that boots and it booted just fine.

[dumdasme]

alright, i tried it and it didn't work.  I can boot into option 4, which is booting to freedos.  but when i try option 1 it says

"Loading /isolinux/fatximage
Loading initrd.gz ..................................................................................................
...........................................................................................................................
.................................................."

and then it reboots.  I'm open to any ideas.

I only have one desktop and one laptop. and since i can't really hook my harddrive up to the laptop, im stuck with the one desktop.

just out of curiosity, can u run xboxhdm on one computer and use it through a server to access another computers hdd.

Same problem as dumbasme...I get the opening xboxhdm screen,

Loading /isolinux/fatximage
Loading initrd.gz ..................................................................................................
...........................................................................................................................
..................................................

and then it reboots.

This is the method i used... And it worked fine i have no idea... Try burning the cd at slower speed's maybe. Or make a new iso? Im not sure since it worked fine for me.

[dumdasme]

I've tried that.  I've burned several cd's at 2x speed.  I'm open to any other suggestions though

[domesticman]

HELP! Same problem and I haven't played sweet Grandpa Madden in 4 weeks!

I'm using an older pc, its a 400mhz compaq. right now its all i got.  The dos option does work fine but i want to build a new hdd using xboxhdm features.  Thanks for the reply
