OK got a crossover cable connected from my USB port in the back of my computer to my Xbox. turn on my xbox and the green light flashes to orange then green to orange etc., my network won't recognize the xbox, how what?

Try plugging your AV cable in

to a tv?

you have to have your av cables plugged into something or it won't work. actually you have to plug in the cable on the xbox,

i'll try thanks.

Um, what else would you normally plug your Xbox to?
(Waiting for a Cheerio comment...)

tried it still not working the light stayed green though , do i need to install my new hard drive before I can connect to my PC, also mod chiped still not flashed can I flash it through my computer

bro, you need to fill in all the details here. what modchip are you using, and does the xbox have a hd in it at all right now??

Matrix mod chip unflashed, the standard 8 gig hd.

you have to use the programmer that came with the matrix to flash it on your pc, then put the chip in and get it all aligned properly, then plug all of your cables back into your xbox and tv, then try to boot from that disk.


after you can boot the disk and ftp into your stock hd, then we will move onto installing the upgraded hd

the disk with evo

Yes

Do I need to install my new 80gb hd first

What do you mean? Are you even following any type of tutorial? Installing the Matrix is your very first step

dude, i just gave you all the instructions my last post.........
it's very easy to do, just follow along.
no you will install your hd last.

but once i install matrix and flash the bios, can i then switch out the hard drives

Yes. But be sure you first do a backup of the 8 GIG...

yes...\

steps

1. flash matrix chip with bios with your programmer on your pc
2. open xbox and install matrix
3. plug everything back in
4. boot from evox boot disk
5. setup your ftp prog and adjust settings within evox dash to allow you to ftp into your xbox.
6. get back to this thread when you get this far.

No, follow the tutorials at www.xbox-scene.com

....or that, but look at this thread so far, do you honestly think that's going to happen??

Hehe, you should be a mod kkattfish

maybe i will be someday, but who knows. you would be a pretty good mod too. here, let's drink

So kkatt, what will be strandyman's next question?

hmmm, i think it will be.......

it's installed and the light is green, but how come the evox boot disk won't work.

here's my answer, flash the matrix with a color bios, and pinch the programmer and the chip together while flashing, then reinstall and see if you see the color change on startup, if so then the media you are using is bad, try a different brand.



how does that sound, and what do you think the next question will be?

-OR- (following your "question")

Did you put the Matrix in mode 2 after it was green for alignment?

nice, i forgot about that.

cheerio refrained to make a smartass comment on this thread -

preoccupied with his new XBL

I am going to add you on my Friend's list Cheeri0

i wonder if this guy is going to read this when he's done installing the chip and be like damn, you guys talk a lot of shit...

oh well.. sorry bro.

thanks for the shit talk

But, did you get it working strandyman?

i'm assuming yes...
