The bios you have probably do not point to evoxdash.xbe for the first boot option. Edit a new bios, burn an evox disc with it, and reflash your bios. I made the same mistake myself.

[thesoulman]

can you just flash the bios using the slayer disk?

Having an outdated bios is one possibility. Another is that you selected the wrong option from Slayers. While rebuilding my drive earlier today I somehow managed to install evox, skins, trainers, etc to the F drive instead of the C drive. I think the apps and music directories also went to F instead of E.

Id you have a working network connection you cna fix using ftp, as I did. Or you can try selecting a different install option. I'm not sure which option built to F:, but the first two times I used Slayer's I didn't have that problem.

Hello.

I am relatively new to xbox tampering. I bought a chipped v1.0 with executor v1, a few years ago, already pre-installed with some apps. I recently upgraded all the apps using slayers 2.5 whcich worked well. i then foolishly decided (as it seemed so simple - LMAO) to rebuild my drive using slayers standard drive rebuild + Evox + all apps.
Now it will only boot to the standard xbox dash.
I am pc literate, so understand the principles, but am still having trouble.

I now have connection to my xbox via flashfxp, when the slayers disc is in.

I have checked my .ini file and that appears ok.
[Misc]

# Retail HD config Created by SlaYer for the SlaYer's EvoX Auto-Installer v2.5

AutoLaunchGames = No
AutoLaunchDVD = No
DVDPlayer = "e:Appsdvdxdefault.xbe"
AutoLaunchAudio = Yes
#AudioPlayer = "c:xboxdash.xbe"
MSDashBoard = "c:xboxdash.xbe"
UseFDrive = Yes
UseGDrive = Yes
SkinName = Gears
IGR = Yes
UseItems = No
ScreenSaver = 10
Fahrenheit = Yes
ShadeLevel = 90
EnableSMART = Yes
HDD_Temp_ID = 194
DebugTSR = No
ChameleonLed = 15

Also in the route of C I have an
evoxdash.xbe, and
xboxdash.xbe
but no default.xbe??? should there be one?

All the apps games etc seem to be on e:

And , I suppose I should be honest I believe I may have tried to update the bios as a last attempt to fix, but I am sure, it said Done, followed by an error saying the bios area wasnt writeable, and the sysytem did not treset afterwards as expected, so I believe the flash may have been unsuccessful anyway.

I have tried toi give as much info as I can, as I have tried to search for my particular issues unsuccesfully. If anyone can shed some light I would be very grateful. Please ask if there's anything else you need to know.

Thanks and Regards

make a copy of your xboxdash.xbe and then rename it to msxboxdashe.xbe
and the rename your evoxdash.xbe to xboxdashe.xbe
then change your ini files from

MSDashBoard = "c:xboxdash.xbe"
MSDashBoard = "c:msxboxdash.xbe"

or you can try flashing with a newer bios.
