Wow, I haven't been here in forever, I have a Samsung DVD PC drive, a broken Thompson drive, a 250 GB Internal IDE drive, a duox2 chip in front of me. To hook up the Samsung, I keep the ribbon cable in the Thompson drive, and teh 8 yellow wire plug into the samsung drive. I set it to slave already. First question, Is that right? Second, if I use DVD2Xbox, will it read from the PC drive adn not the Xbox?

Second question, I know maybe one or two people who have Windows on there xbox and they said it is wonderful. There is a virtual keyboard if you don't have one, (btw, i have a keyboard no one uses, could I hook that up to an xbox through a controller or soemthing), and he said once you start it up, the greeen X comes up adn boots windows first. Then, the Microsoft Dashboard, or modded dashboard is on the desktop and it works exactly like its running on a computer. Makes FTPing a thing of the past and you jsut drag and drop the files and all that great stuff. I just need a little bit of help with these because I spent a lot of money on it and i would like to get this bad boy up and running Thanks for any help you can give for any of my questions.

I dont know the answer to your questions but hi. its Cha0sPig from aim. hehe. but ill talk to u on aim and see if i might be able to help with the windows thing.

To run windows, you have to use Linux + Qemu, and linux overwrites the bios in RAM with its own special bios, so you can't load xbox xbe's after you load linux.
I don't think what your friends say is quite right.

Also, the thing with the virtual keyboard, that is definately linux.

and definately a waste of time putting 98 on ur xbox. Linux is the way to go.
