Xdi Help, Worked fine before hard drive Options

[Thuggalo420DL]

XDI/XIG worked fine for me for months until a few weeks ago when I got my new hard drive (80gb). I reinstalled it with the exact same settings as before but after the "Loading ind-bios" screen it freezes. Also, when I scan for dashboard files my dash path doesn't show up (E:/dashboard/default.xbe) I have to type it in manually. I tried pointing it to another xbe that WAS on the list and it still freezes when loading the bios. I've been playing with it on and off for days now testing all sorts of different options and configurations but no progress so far. Anybody know what the problem might be?

don't use evolutionx, it's buggy.

use unleashx, avalaunch, xbmc, etc.

make sure you have a trailing backslash in the XIG2 config.

also, if it freezes it's probably because your dashboard.xbx is incorrect.
as an alternative you could edit the indconfig file and set usexbx=0 (turn it off) and edit one of the dashboard paths at the bottom.


see if that helps.

Negatory. I tried launching from UX and XBMC, checked all the config files, and tried editing the ind config like you said. I'm stumped.

try putting a dashboard in the root of a partition.

[Thuggalo420DL]

Nope. Reinstalled XIG (to revert the configs to default) and pointed it to the MS dash, then I stuck UX in E:'s root, neither worked. So I edited the configs like I did before with the dash in root, same problem.

so basically, it's just freezing when you launch the XIG xbox application?

[Thuggalo420DL]

Yes. It locks up after 'Loading ind-bios'. I also tried pointing it to some applications just for the hell of it but that didn't work.

[Thuggalo420DL]

Aaaanyone?

[Drilus]

delete the XIG folder, dashboard.xbx, and the devkit folder.

you mght have a corrupt ind-bios config file also. that would make it hang on load.

Im getting the same problem as Thuggalo, I used UnleashX this time and it still doesn't work. Whats DOOM.DIE by the way? Oh and now I see a file called debug.log in FlashFXP and it says 'Frosted BIOS Loader v1.0 RC1
A required key (RC4 or EEPROM) is missing. BIOS cannot load.' What does it want?

doom.die is what happens when your debug doesn't load correctly. delete the .die file and the .log file. put your xbdm.ini file back.

basically, it's saying that you don't have a proper boot.cfg file.

It holds your eeprom and rc4 keys. If you don't have that stuff correct then the bios loader will fail to launch the bios.

I deleted then redownloaded and it still don't work

[Drilus]

the file boot.cfg is a dummy file. you need to get a real version.

[Thuggalo420DL]

delete the XIG folder, dashboard.xbx, and the devkit folder.

Tried that, like 7 times.
