You might need to disconnect the HD first. XOS used to scan the HD before the CD/DVD.
If you can still get to the recovery, there is still hope.
It should take from CD before it does from HDD (i recall, i think)
If it still wont take from CD, try dummying up the cd, also try using dvd's.
If all else fails, see if you can get a buddy who has a modded xbox to let you use it, a non 1.6 xbox.
hey, im gonna try unplugging the hard drive and using the cd method. i let you guys know if it works.
Its recommended for HD upgrade/recovery to hav the HD unlocked!
PS. XOS looks for DVD-Rom first and then HD
Actually, not sure if this was mentioned but on the 1.6 you won't see any video while your chip upgrades.
When I have a hard time upgrading a chip to a new OS I make sure I disconnect the IDE cable from the HD.
Also, they usually release two bios', one will recover your chip to factory condition ie; wipe out your bios'. The other should only upgrade the chip and not delete any bios on the chip.
I didn't even know there was a 2.0.2 that came out, I am just finally getting chips that already have the 2.0.1...lol.
well i must be doing something wrong when i try to use the cd recovery method because it isnt installing. i downloaded the file and extraced it and burned the .iso onto a cd. that didnt work. then i opened that same iso file and took out the rocovery.bin and dummy.bin and used xiso and burned that onto a cd. that didnt work either. could someone tell me what i am doing wrong?
o... and i am using nero
