I am an idiot.... It turns out that the SID4.5 installs the Evox in 3 places. On C, on E, and again on F. This is incase something happens to one of them I guess. The entire time, I thought it was booting to the one on "C", so this is where I placed my "Skins" folder. It turns out that it was booting to the one on "E." Moved the "skin" folder to "E" and it works just fine.

I don't think it is that easy jake. I think it is easier to FTP the game files from your xbox to your PC, then create an ISO from there.

evander,

Any ideas on this DVD / linux ISO image thing?

I just cannot seem to make it boot.

Do you have a second computer or access to one? This way you can see if it boots in another machine.

Maybe it is something to do with your hardware configuration. If you have the same problem in another machine, then you know it is software related and you can troubleshoot from there.

The simplest plans are often the most logical.... :-)

I will try it out and let you know.

Cheers

That's what makes these venues so great. We can all put our heads together. I think I am having more fun just tinkering with the Xbox then I will actually playing it.

To really answer your thought about EVOX installing on all drives, that's not really true, you can load onto either of the drives, depending on which drive you want it to load up from, it really shouldn't have to be on all of them, usually one EVOX on either C, E, or F drive.

I think I read that in the SID Deluxe v4.5 manual. Nonetheless, if I am incorrect, I have no idea how Evox made it onto my C drive and E drive.

I'm still in the process of understanding what I have done. It all works and that is what is important I guess.

Do you guys happen to know what the largest hard drive is that the Xbox and softmodding will read?

It used to only ready up to 137GB, but depending on your softmod, it should read pretty much any size. I have installed a 160GB HD on my friend's and it shows all the space available. I used Ndure's .67 softmod to do mine.

I am considering putting a 400GB drive in mine and getting the expander and putting another 2 120's.

3/4 TB for the win!!!

Wow, that's crazy, I don't see you ever using that much, but it would be badass. show some pics when you're done, if you want to see my modded xbox let me know, I think it's pretty sweet, but I did it about almost 2 years ago.

damn, my 120 is full, but it's all games, no movies, mostly xbox but some arcade and a SNES emulator and roms, my 40GB is pretty empty, but i just dropped that in my other xbox cause it was a spare, not sure if I'm gonna do any more, i'm looking for more roms as we speak for my mame-x and SNES emulator, and I just got my N64 emulator working too on my 40GB xbox
