I have recently dug out my old classic xbox which was chipped years ago with a
Duo X2 AMD Xbox Mod Chip, and the Evox bios flash. I have also bought a new 750 gig hard drive which I have installed with slayers 2.7 already installed onto it but my 'G' drive does not show as having any free space on it so I can't FTP anything to the hard drive. I am a complete noob and have no first clue how to flash a bios. From what I have read this must be replaced with a newer version than I have to access the 'G' drive and my 750 gig drive.
Can Anyone help me and give me a complete step by step idiots guid on how to re-flash the bios ie flash disc or better still where I can get a ready made one. Then hopefully I can finally get my XBOX to work as media center as I have planned.
Please HELP !!!!!

there are updated biosses on the slayer disc (option 5 or 6?)... put the slayer disc in, select the desired bios you want and flash it..

For some reason the xbox wont recognise the slayer disc, I've tried every type of disc (dvd-r, dvd-rw, cd-r and so on). I've also installed a samsung dvd drive and that also wont recognise the disc

that is strange, you do burn the slayer (iso) as an disc image?! it might have a rar/zip extension, you did extract it to an iso and then burned the iso as an disc image?

Yeah the same disc was used to install the slayer files on my blank hard drive by my old man. But when I put the Hard drive in my machine it runs but doesn't recognize the 'G' drive where my memory is stored. The only difference is the chip I have in my machine and the bios its flashed with. From what I've read elsewhere the reason I cant use my 'g' drive is because my bios was flashed with an old version which didn't support a drive larger than 137+ gb drives. I need to flash the bios but no idea how. I have also looked to buy a bios flash disc because I'm totally lost and got no clear way forward.
Any ideas

well,do you have the same problem if you boot of the original ms bios? than the drive still isn't able to read any of the discs? if so, it seems you have a (or both) dvd drive of which the laser is worn out. there are exploits floating around, used for tsop flashing, that might help you out. just put the right bios in the right folder, run the exploit (from your dashboard) and let it flash your chip. search for the raincoat exploit, it is on eurasia . com which exploit you get doesn't matter, auf, or mechassault, just put it into the udata folder and run it in your dashboard (avalaunch, unleashx etc.).

you shouldn't be having any problems.. slayers 2.7 will normally allocate everything to F anyway up to about 300 gigs.. have you formatted the G??

I can watch dvd's on the machine so dont think its the drive. So I'll have a look for an exploit and try that.

Will the machine load the slayers disk.. I'm guessing it will as it was installed from that disk earlier. Cold boot it and then go into the format (drive setup?) options and look for the various format options.. there should be one to format individual drives, or install unleashX which allows individual drive formatting from the application...
If you have disk reading problems that might be the best bet.. get ftp working.

I can get the ftp working just not to the 'g' drive. The slayers disc has never been loaded to my machine, It was loaded to the hard drive when the drive was in a different machine. This is why I know I need to flash the bios to enable the 'g' drive. As the slayers disc wont read in the drive even though its a samsung drive I'm looking for a way to either ftp the files to the machine which will flash the bios or a device I can buy which will plug into the machine/chip to flash the bios.
Thanks for this help

Then you need to install unleashx as an application and use it's format tools.
The samusung disk read problem is either a 605f (no better than a thomson) or you are trying a crap disk.. dvd-r for guaranteed if your drive actually works.
I don't think you have understood anything.. the xbox has more than a "G" partition.. what about C and E and F and XYZ??
I don't ever use those chips so flashing them is a mystery.. but I guess whatever bios it has either works or doesn't... as there is nothing new under the sun for the xbox.. apart from people trying to put incompatible massive drives in then instead of being sensible and streaming over a network...
try this.. and look for a bios disk making guide.. that's fun learning. http://www.rejoy.se/forum/index.php?showtopic=170
the x2 uses the normal x2 bios.. which supports a G drive anyway.. just read up some instead of asking more questions... That's the answer that was common when I started.. rtfm and guides.. there are thousands.
