Hi there, I'm trying to install a new HDD (Maxtor D740 40gig) using the tutorial at http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/hdd-install2.php, and it seems to be going well right up until the point where I need to click "Install New Drive": EvoX dashboard then comes back to me and says: "Action Error. Error in action number. Action: 10. Continue? Yes/No". Trying both Yes or No just puts me back to the main menu.

I copied *exactly* the required .ini section which is:

CODE

Section "Install Menu"    {    Item "Install New drive",@210    Item "Settings",@9    Item "Reboot",@5    }    [Action_10]    Info "Install HDD - Xbox-Scene"    Warning "This will format all drives"    Warning "Make sure you have a backup of C & E"    Progress "Formatting drives"    ConfigSector "\backup\disk.bin"    Format c:    Format e:    Format f:    Format x:    Format y:    Format z:    [Action_11]    [Action_12]

I get exactly the same problem when I tried to format F: on my original HDD using the tutorial on how to get the extra 2 gigs out of the original HD (it's one of those Seagates).


FWIW, I'm using EvolutionX Dashboard Beta V1.8.3285.

Can somebody please help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

alright .. copy this and make it a evox.ini file.
this ini file I use is what you want. I make a universal xbox install disk with this so if I ever need to .. I can install a chip AND hard drive.. without a pc at all.

make a backup or make sure you have a REAL evox.ini file from the source as you will delete THIS ini file (that we are copying now) after you install your hard drive.

IF THIS DOES NOT WORK.. IT MIGHT BE BECUASE OF THE SPACES ARE NOT CORRECT BECUASE OF THIS POST.. IF IT DOESN'T I WILL BE GLAD TO EMAIL YOU THIS INI FILE.. SO THE FORMAT IS CORRECT.

again ... replace this as your evox.ini file.. it has Hard Drive install on the menu now.
thats the only difference. You might want to keep it .. but you will probably want to put in a normal evox ini file so you do not have that option in the menu and format on accident.
this ini file is also set up for NO STATIC .. make sure you change if you need to.

hope this helps.

Hi majik655,

Thanks a lot, it worked!

Hmm, strange, I did a side-by-side comparison with your evox.ini file and it was completely identical to mine except for the menu settings -- there must have been some of these spacing errors which I read about.

I sure would appreciate anybody shedding light on what these Action Errors really are about.

Thanks very much again!

cheers,
