I just got an Xecuter 2.3B lite+ chip and installed it successfully. After this, I installed the Xecuter2 4983 bios ( 1x 1mb). The bios installation was successful and when i boot my xbox it says XECUTER2 underneath the xbox logo. I got EvoX 3935 and made the folder with the default.xbe and the evox.ini into a .xiso with ExtractXISO. After this I burned the image onto a dvd-r with nero 6. I was on a role, chip installed flawlessly, bios installed flawlessly.... what could go wrong . Fate hit me and once i put the EvoX dash dvd in my drive it said that "XBOX can't recognize disc" (this was in the default ms bios). i tried 4 different times and made 4 really expensive coasters in the process.

please help a no0b ?





PS i have a v 1.0 xbox with a thomson drive.

Make sure no multisession and finalize disc

did that, no luck

Did you try putting a dummy file with it?

yeah, it was the same dummy i used for my bios, 500mb

also, my xbox won't recognize a burned audio cd either (i tried some cd just to test it). shouldn't my bios allow my dvd drive to read all of that stuff

thomson drives are picky with media...especially cdr's...did you rename the dummy like abc.bin?

i just named it dummy.bin, would naming it abc do anything? by the way, i'm using dvd-r discs, not cd-r, so shouldn't it boot flawlessly?

Try a CDRW

couldn't i just find a philips or samsung drive and put it in my xbox? (maybe steal one from a friend..)

dvd-r's should read just fine, even with a thomson, make sure you boot the xecuter bios if you want to read a burned disk (duh... )

what app did you use to create the iso (craxtion, qwix,...)?

i used qwix. also, i boot with my bios (i think, because the XECUTER2 label comes underneath the xbox dash when i boot my box). still, i tried 40+ times and disc wuldn't boot

I wouldnt get a philips drive, I had one in my crystal and even though it read CDR it would not read DVD-R so i swapped it for a samsung from another xbox. It reads all of my DVD-R fine, I have all my games backed up just in case, not run into a problem yet

try burning the iso with another app. i usually used nero6 but had problems with it a while back so since then, i've been using alcohol 120% and have never gotten and errors since. I have a thomson and use DVD+-R/RW and they work just fine.

where would i get a samsung drive

i have alcohol 120 but i didn't hik it burnt dvd's?

wait, burn it with a dummy file or make the xiso with a dummy in it?

the dummy file has to be IN the iso

okay, i'm gunna get some more dvd-r's in a couple hours, try it out, and then post my results thanks guys. btw, is qwix good for making the xiso's>?

qwix is one of the best (if not THE best). craxtion is also quite good. xiso is a bit outdated but still works ok.

what should i use besides xiso? i want to the best

sorry bout that last post. you meant .xiso the program, i thought you meant the file type. my bad m8.

so i should make the .iso from a folder with the default.xbe, the evox.ini, the dummy, and the skins folder (if i want skins)?

the dvd-r's that had failed were all sonys. i dunno what i'm getting. my friend is giving them to me. also, in the .ini under "IP" what does it want, my pc's IP or my xbox's. i know both. (my home network consists of a router which runs a line into my room then i have a hub linking my pc and my xbox, if that means anything..) is there anything else i should look out for in the .ini? thanks again

i tried burning a dvd+r with the big evox (with dummy file) with alcohol 120% and it wouldn't work. i think i have an old version though.

i am now attempting to burn the same file with nero..

bloody hell! that didn't work either. gahH!H i have a cd-rw.. should i try something with that?

tried cd-rw with nero. burnt the evox stuff with a 500mb dummy, didn't work. did i just waste 130 good dollars on a mod chip and dvd burner???

hi im new to this too....just to let you know i saw a samsung drive on ebay going for about £35.00 when i saw it,i have been having the same probs with the cant reed the disk error untill i read a walk through on burnig a xbox iso with nero and it turned out i was burning the wrong type of disk i was burning cd-rom(iso) when you have to choose cd-rom(udf/iso)... this worked for me hope it helps

really? it has to be udf/iso?

i just burnt a dvd+r with udf/iso (force dvd too) and it didn't work. what the hell is wrong.

just tried dcd-rw with those options (udf/iso) didn't work.

can someone (with a v 1.0 xbox w/ thomson drive) please tell me how they got their evox to work? please

thanks
