yea i think the bios are installed bank 1 says xecutor 2 with the xbox logo ontop and it looks like m$ dash i put in slayers and rebuild hhd but i get the same thing as if i didnt put slayers in...so i decided mabey i have to install evos xbmp, and apps option...when i did this the first time i choose larger hhd and i got an error 13 wehn i booted w/o the mod chip on and just xecutors bios on the mod chip. i did it again and chose the hhd was retail instead of larger and the m$ dashboad came on w/ the mod chip disabled but still had the just the xecutor bios on when the mod was enabled.
what i did
1. installed xecutor bios
2. copy slayers to a disk and inserted it with the new
hhd attached
3. i chose option rebuild large hhd (3.1) in slayer man. _________________ xbox 1.0

4. i removed slayers and restarted but the bios looked the
same, as if i didnt do anything
5. when i tryed to boot w/o mod chip on got error 13
6. locked hhd and got m$ dash w/o mod and xecutor bios w/
mod on
7. did the same thing again but chose reatil hhd instead of larger
but i was really using a 120g hhd
8. still didnt work...same as step 6
do i need to use the retail hhd first or need files from it to put on the new one?
i will try that ftp thing but i have never done it and dont know how to do it...it seems many people on other sites are having the same problem w/ the cromwell bios.
if u have any suggestions on what bios to flash onto cromwell and then put slayer on that work well plz send me the download.
i will get back to u later w/ a copy of what my hhd are saying...
thx for ur guys help...just seems like i am not very well w/ computers
thx

hi halobygod,
I think you get been banned from xbox live now if you have upgraded your harddrive.. There are reports of M$Live scanning the xbox harddrive and also for modchips..
ABOUT YOUR XBOX:
-----------------------
So, have you got it working yet??
If you are running the 'CROMWELL BIOS' you will never get a dashboard to LOAD..
You require a hacked M$ (microsoft) bios.. Until you flash your Xecutor modchip with a hack M$ bios you wont be able to do anything.
This means no playing backups, loading emulators until you flash you bios with a M$ BIOS.
The 'CROMWELL BIOS' which is LEGAL is only for booting LINUX on your xbox..
im just confused as to where you are up to with your xbox as you are still showing CROMWELL as your bios in your signature..

One last thing:
YOU DONT REALLY REQUIRE ANYTHING FROM YOUR ORIGINAL XBOX HARD DRIVE AT ALL.. I still have my original xbox harddrive untouched so i can re-install it if i ever have problems but i dont think im really gonna be needing it..
Once your xecutor is flashed with another bios you can just pop in the Slayers Disc and it will work 100% fine..
Its just the CROMWELL BIOS does not allow you to run DASHBOARDS, BACKUP GAMES or EMULATORS..
hey...i have flashed the cromwell bios w/ xecutor bios and the slayers disk works. The new hhd is in i can burn some games to the hhd but not all(some come up as video when i put the disk in and only 11mb). also i burn dvds to the hhd using dvd2xbox but i dont know how to play them from the hhd. when i clike on the files they are all out of order...the special features look like they are mainly their but only half the movie. dunno is there another way to access these _________________ xbox 1.0

I believe if your modchip is turned on and you go onto xbox live, you will be banned. Now even with the modchip turned off, xbox live is now checking to see if you HDD has been upgraded. Don't know if anyone has been banned because of this. _________________ XBOX v1.5

If your banned from Xbox Live they don't ban your ip the ban your eeprom. The eeprom is basicaly your xbox's own special unique code. The serial number on the bottom of your xbox is your eeprom, but theres and actualy file on your xbox that is the eeprom. If you do a backup you should be able to get it. Then you would need an eeprom program and buy a new eeprom which would probably run nine to ten dollars. Then you would switch your eeprom with a new one. _________________ Xbox V1.4
