what the fuck r u two numbnutts talking about. the xbox needs to be modified with a bios that supports no dvdrom on boot. and slim xboxes wtf. i use ind bios 5003 and it will boot without a dvdrom if the hdd is set to "master" on its jumpers "western digital requires the jumper to be set to master without slave present"
He is using a softmod btw...

softmods dont work the M$ bios checks for the dvdrom unless he flashed his tsop witch is not a softmod
ok there are two points(I think sometimes more depends on your version) to bidge but there are to flash your tsop with a bios that skips the dvdrom check the M$ bios always checks it. or you can get a chip witch you would still need a bios that skips the dvdrom check

i flashed my tsop you fucking idiot. thats not a softmod. pull your moms penis out your ear o and btw, show me a pic of ur "slim box"
and even if its for the tsopless. thats probably a security check to make sure its using a original dvdrom drive connected to the system. maybe he soldered a jumperblock to make it seem like their is no slave, just the hdd. but still its the bios that has something to do with it. even if u dont have a tsop. u still have a bios

AFAIK there are no points you can solder to make a softmod xbox run without a DVD drive, the only points i know of are to keep the xbox from reporting "tray open" all the time when using a PC dvd-rom, you solder the points so it always reports "ready" so you can load a new disc in a PC drive without having to reboot (i could be wrong though)
i think the best solution is what TKramka said, a controller board from a dead thomson, shouldnt cost much of anything (its a dead board after all) and wont effect cosmetics since it will just sit inside the xbox (you not using the whole drive, just the controller board)

1st off, he was talking about me when he said that
and I know i still have a BIOS, i was saying that because that wasn't an option (to flash the TSOP)
and yeah, you obviously aren't in the hardware/case modding forums at all, and if you are...are you blind?
