Ok u guys were a great help when i posted about my queries for LIVE. But i really need some help here! I have an Xecuter 2.6 and im not sure wot version my xbox is altho it was bought approx a year after the xbox was 1st launched. My problem is I wana switch my chip off to use LIVE but when i turn the chip enable switch to off and turn my xbox bak on the chip led is red and i get a screen saying that my xbox needs service!

Ive heard that it maybe coz i need my hard drive locked....if so, could anyone tell me how to do this?

Thanx in advance!

why not post the error code

try locking the hard drive - i bet thats your problem (use flashbios or config magic)

I am guessing there is no error code correct? You need to lock your HD in order fo it to boot the M$ Dash! (as far as I know) That is what I did when I had the same exact problem. In order to lock your HD just simply go to the Flash BIOS screen and select "Lock HD" (that is how i did it on my X3) not sure if it is the same

hi spartan.
turn the chip on and flick the right hand chip switch over,then turn on the xbox.
you should get a blue flashbios screen
scroll down with a M$ controler to lock hard drive.
select that.
flick the right switch back and the chip off.
reboot the xbox

Do you mean the furthest right switch?The bank switch(mine is currently set to 2) or the flash protect switch?

If i do this and reboot the xbox with the chip turned off should the MS dash boot up?

I flicked the switch over but when i switched the xbox on nothin had changed! It boots up the same way no mater what setting the switch is set to!

Also, on my evoX dashboard there is a heading that says bios: Unknown?!

You say a friend of a friend put the Hdd in.

Does it even have the M$ dash on it? if so it still might not even BE lockable.

Chances are it is tho. In which boot to the bank of the chip you don't usually boot to and the Flashbios *should* come up.

If it doesn't then your best bet is to use some app like ConfigMagic.

I tried changin the bank switch over and nofin happened! Whenever i switch on the xbox and the evox dashboard boots up it says my bios are unknown, this doesnt sound right does it? I can stil access the M$ dash thru an option for changin clock settings. Where can i find configmagic?

Spartan_MC · « **Reply #11 on:** January 19, 2005, 09:06:00 PM »

Ok chris i took a look at your website and was re-assured coz u really kno wot ur talkin bout!
So ive downloaded configmagic but could you tell me IF/HOW i can burn it to a CD-R and load it in my xbox that way coz i cant connect my xbox to a PC

Plz i really need help coz im dyin to get playing halo2 on live, so i can justify my boasting, lol!

Thanx
