Evox Initial Set Up Options

[HackJack]

I am hoping someone can help me. I recently bought the exodus/matrix mod chip and successfully flashed it and installed it with evox bios 2.5. I am now trying to create the initial set up disc for evox. What I mean by that is creating a disk that can boot to my Xbox and allow me to ftp into it and rename files and copy the evox files over. Anyway I have been trying to create this disc for a long time and I have gone through about 20 cdrws!!!
I have been using Xiso to create the iso file to burn. I tried both the PrimoDVD and Nero 5.5.xx both of which didn’t seem to do it. I desperately need help with this!!!!

If anyone can give me some advice on what I could possibly be doing wrong I would appreciate it.

Also if some one can let me know what is supposed to be in the iso that I burn to the cdrw just to make sure I have the right files in it?

Erase the disk FULLY.

Download the ISO version and burn it directly with the demo of RecordNow.

Try booting it. It should come up immediately.

Well I tried to erase the disk and it still does not work. Is there anything else I should be doing? What version of EvolutionX are you using? Also I used the flashpack from #xbins and the bios was named 2.5 is that a good working version. I can’t figure this out and any more help would be greatly appreciated.

You are probably doing it right if you have burned discs before, but the CD-RW support in X-Box is finicky especially with a small amount of file on the disc.

If they are all the same brand CD-RW then try a different brand.

I know that I only have 1 successful boot in about 8 attempts with EvoX on CD-RW. The reason I mention file size is that larger files on the CD-RW seem to be more successful in being read.

If you have access to a DVD-R, put the evoX ISO on a DVD-R or DVD-RW. Mine booted first time when I did this.

I’ve tried many different combinations of restarting/ejecting my discs but no matter how many times it still comes back to the same problem. I am going to try and get other cdrws and try that. I wish I had a DVD-r that would be sweet. OOOhhh well.

If there is any other advice I would greatly appreciate it.
