my xbox works fine when i boot holding the power button for longer than a sec, to boot without the x3ce chip. bit if i do boot with it, i see nothing, i hear nothing. whats going on? i clicked both buttons and im wondering, should i flash the bios? i got into this mess cause i was being dumb. i was in my auto installer deluxe, i use it to get to my xbox media center thing, so i clicked boot dashboard, drive f: like always. it turned dark like it does. then took like 5 mins so i turned it off. this leads me to said problems, any advice?
Well... isnt the F: drive for a new HDD You have added yourself? cuz otherwise should you not have picked E:? - i dont know much about chips, just going on what i know about softmod, weater they are te same i dont know.
well, which partition its on really doesnt matter too much. it wont fit on some cache partitions though, it was on e, but then i didnt even have enough room to save games! so F works fine. but. how did me while booting a dashboard, turning off the system, make the xecuter 3 ce not exactly show anything. or give audio.
your partition does matter. it goes by your bios on your chip, if your bios says boot from F: then you install your files to the F: drive. Your bios determines everything, you probably want to flash it to a bios that boots from F: first.
get a flasher and make a data disc using nero and burn it to a cd or dvd and put it in your xbox and get your xbox into bios flash mode or whatever by pressing the eject and power button and holding them for a couple seconds and then it will let you pick from your cd. then flash the new bios on your disk.
