Try a CD-RW.

I know you said that the DVD should work, but it doesn't hurt to try other solutions.

well, executer2 shows up where M$ should be, then the original menu pops up(music, settings, etc) is this supposed to happen?

The good news is your XBIT is working fine. That's half the battle.  The bad news is that you seem to have gotten ahead of yourself.

The only problem now is that i can find what to do next

What do you want to do next?  Whatever the answer is, you can bet there's a tutorial here that will walk you through it.

It doesnt ask me to instert a boot disk

*sigh*.  It's not Windows2000. There's no plug and play. There's no install script. It's not going to walk you through setup.

when i put in a dvd-r (which i know works with my version)

How do you know it works with "your version".  Compatibility isn't based on xbox version, it's based on your DVD drive.  And even if your friend had the same model DVD drive, and that brand worked in his/hers, that doesn't automatically mean it will  work in yours (though it usually will).  The drive that you used to burn the media can affect compatibility (I have lots of DVDs that run fine on my most of my PC's, but aren't recognized by my laptop).

when i put in a dvd-r with my iso file it says it cant recognise it

If you put the DVD in your PC, examine the contents, and you see an .ISO file on the media, you need to stop right now and read some more.

If you actually burned the ISO image to DVD, and it still doesn't recognize it, try a different brand of media.

Xbox-scene.com.... go to tutorials.  The newb guide to everything is a great start.  Sounds like you need to run Slayers....to load a dashboard.

Download Slayers auto installer and you should be set.  If you have any problems just give us a hollar.

You can find it under the dashboard section I believe.  Download the file, and then follow the readme file.  There are extra steps involved here because of the file size.

This doesn't mean you're burning it properly......

Here's your steps......

Get evox.xbe and evox.ini
rename the evox.xbe to default.xbe
Grab a large file and dump it in the same folder (Anything 100-300 megs should be fine, a folder, a zip file, a movie)
Make an Xiso using Craxtion
Open Nero
File >> Burn image
Select Image
Burn slowly, disc at once.......

Try CDRW

Its ok!~ I'm in the same boat you are.  I have been trying to load slayers for two days without success.  I was using Memorex CR-RW's and Imatation DVD-RW's.  Did you inflate your file size before you burned your disc?  From what I was reading you have to pad your disk with a "dummy" file to incease the file size in order for the XBOX to read it.  In addition I have a Thompson drive, buring with a Sony DRU500.  It may be the dreaded Thompson curse!~

You only tried one brand. Get some others like Memorex or something.

An old Verbatum I had lying around worked the first time I wrote to it. I had never opened it. But when I rewrote to it it would not load. So I guess make sure you try a fresh disc.

I got a DVD+R to work yesterday.

Slayers has a lot of useless junk but it has options for install so just use it to install the evox and then FTP the rest of your installs.

I just used XBMC, don't see the need for anything else.

Horse pucky.

Dummy files are a Dreamcast holdover that have NO VALUE on the Xbox.

well it didnt work at first, i had to restart it a couple of times for it to read the disk.

This is more of a problem with your writer or recording software than anything else, assuming you are using DVD-R media.
