![]() I've done my own tests on disc media as I have, I think, at least two examples of every other officially fitted disc drive (Samsung 605B and 605F, Thomson, Hitachi) except the Philips which I only have one. All kinds of options out there, depending on how much research you want to do. You can also track down a copy of evtool and tailor a copy of the EvoX M8 to how you want so you know what your actual settings are. If you do manage to get a Hexen disc to boot, swap out your bios with a version of EvoX M8 from the disc so you know the dash paths are standard. I stick with Verbatim DVD-R and have had the fewest issues. My concern would be the quality of the media. My favorite is the Hitachi-LG, usually can read anything and I haven't had a totally failed one yet. In good working order the Philips is a good drive to have, but they can begin to show their age like any. I've seen all versions of all DVD drives last year as I purchased a lot of 81 of them (Xboxes, not just the drives). Fewer still can read a DVD+R DL set to -ROM as well. Few can read DVD+r with the bitset flag set to DVD-ROM. You're better off with a more modern disc like the Hexen 2017 disc, and as far as I know there isn't any original Xbox drive that can't read DVD-R. With that said I'm pretty sure you're running the standard version of EvoX M8, which itself is fine. If you were running a 1.6 version of the EvoX M8, I don't think you'd even get video as that bios is meant to work with the Xcalibur video chip found on the 1.6 box. You're probably struggling against possible custom dash paths. I doubt you have a BIOS issue, or at least I don't think you have an issue with the version of bios you're running. If anyone could help i would very much appreciate that! Do you think it could be my BIOS? (I did get this xbox modded back in 2004-2005) I have also tried Hexen 2017 and AID installer but both disc ain't reading (Burned to DVD-R) My xbox is a v1.4 - v1.5 with a Philips dvd drive. ![]() Here is a pic of my c: (Do you think i should manually ftp a dashboard? If so what should the contents look like?) I have also tried installing apps to the e: and also installing xbmc as my dashboard but still doesn't work. I have FTP'd to my xbox through slayers and i can see its not installing the dashboard to my c: but has formatted the drive properly.(As i can see in the e: and f:) I have tried both retail and upgradded HDD but both have the same outcome. Im using slayers 2.7 disc to upgrade, i first select 'New install/Full rebuild - Upgradded HDD' - Once this process is finished my xbox boots up with an error 16 message displaying. My Xbox is hard modded with an Aladdin chip (BIOS - Evox M8 v16), i have connected a SATA to IDE adapter and a 80 wire cable. I am having issues upgrading my HDD to a 500gb drive (I have also tryed 2 80gbs which are different brands).
