Post by: Murphster05 on October 30, 2003, 05:40:00 AM: So I should have a friend burn it to a DVD or I should use a DVD burner to burn the SLayer ISO? I have a DVD burner and I could just try burning with that I guess...or I could quit being cheap and go but $30 dollar #&@*@^ DVD - Rs. Good times
Thanks for the advice, and I still ahve the stock drive in the Xbox which would be...the Thomson

Post by: dtechlogic on October 31, 2003, 04:00:00 PM: same problem here so i decided to redo the damn iso again. in the iso format that came in did not work for my xbox. I have created two CDRW one with evolution x the latest one with box explorer and it did recognize it. i customize it the way i wanted to i use up the whole 700MB. Then i burn slayer in the iso format it came in and my xbox did not recognize it and i was getting the error and same thing with my friends xbox. and then i did another iso format, extracted everything from the iso i dowloaded and redo it and this time it got recognize by my xbox.
my xbox came with a phillips dvd-rom so try to do a iso again and it might work for you i am using memorex cdrw.

Post by: extreme22 on October 31, 2003, 06:29:00 PM: i used XisoManager1.4 to burn my slayer and i used a fuji cd-rw or a Memorex 5-Pack 700MB/80-Minute CD-RWs.

Post by: Murphster05 on October 31, 2003, 11:40:00 PM: All right, I tried this whole XISO Manager, method, I unextracted the ISO and recreated it, came out bigger oddly enough...and it still didn't work. I am now ready to blame it on my sony CD-RW's...I am going to go and buy some new media tomorrow I hope, though I may just borrow my friends DVD burner and pray that does some good for me. wish me luck

Post by: Murphster05 on November 01, 2003, 12:53:00 PM: HOLY CRAP. That is all I have to say anymore. I finally got a DVD to burn, I burned the Slayers ISO, and it is STILL NOT READING THE DISK. I do not understand what they heck I am doing wrong. Is there ANYONE out there that can help me?! I am so confused!

I know that my DVD burner only worked with a certain kind of media, didn't like CD+R but would work with CD-R so keep that in mind. Sounds like you and I are having almost the exact same problem. What chip and BIOS are you using?
I am going for last resort and I am either going to try the tutorial where you just put a second CD drive on top of the original, or, if that doesn't work, I am going to put the Samsung in and see if that helps. Samsung seems like a lot of work...but I have all ready wasted too much money and too much time to give up now.
Let me know if you get a breakthrough, I have used Sony and Memorex CD-RWs on my Xbox, don't know if that will help you are not but please post if you get it to work. Thanks.

Title: I Am Going To Die! Slayers
Post by: Murphster05 on November 02, 2003, 11:05:00 AM: I was thinking about getting the Samsung Sd-616T and doing the new install...but that isn't sold in the US anymore so I am not able to do that. I tried a DVD and I have tried a ton of different CDRw's and none of them have worked. Could this all be the result of a bad flash on the mod chip? Would that lead to problems? I get the Xecutor2 symbol instead of MS...but I still can't get this stupid thing to work. Still looking for any breakthroughs out there and would appreciate the help so let me know if you get something done.

Post by: Codence on November 02, 2003, 04:43:00 PM: i have a x2.2lite+ and it says there is no bios on the disk and it wont boot it. i guess that means it didnt work. any idead?
Title: I Am Going To Die! Slayers
Post by: Murphster05 on November 02, 2003, 05:31:00 PM: Codence -
It came with Cromwell on it right? I had to use the external flasher that you could buy seperately because my Xbox won't read any discs....so I can't tell you what to do if you are trying to flash it with a new BIOS any other way.

There is a really great tuorial somewhere...but I don't know where it is...somewhere on the Xbox scene tutorial web page, and it works great.
