Hello,
I have an issue.
I'm Hard Modded (Duox2GS - white) via x2 5035 bios (v1.6)
I'm trying to install a new hard drive (60GB) but the Disc does NOT auto load.
The screen Hangs on EXECUTER2 CONFIG LIVE LOADING.... screen
I can hear the dvd drive. after some time you see the xbox splash w/ Xecuter logo on bottom.
________
If I connect my stock hard drive. it goes past the "XECUTER2 CONFIG LIVE LOADING...." screen, I get the splash and it loads the auto installer soft mod screen. I can than go to launch DVD where it'll load the auto installer deluxe.
but the HDD I want to format is not connected.
is there a special way or something that i'm missing?
thanks in advance
P.S.
I am Soft Modded prior to hard.
I don't know if that's booting the disc when I use the stock drive.

It sounds like your bios is set to not boot from something other than DVD first because you said if you put your stock hdd in it will go to your dash then you click on run AID. If your bios is set up right it should boot to DVD first if one is present, and yours doesn't it sounds like. I think the reason its hanging because the bios is looking for a dash to boot on the new HDD and since its not even formatted it just hangs. _________________

Thank You for Your reply.
How do I set the bios to boot from DVD first before HDD?
I'm running X2 5035
x2ool doesn't give me an option to change the boot order and xbtool doesn't load 5035 bios keeps giving kernel not found error.
so Im at a lost. any help will be appreciated.
thanks for your reply!!

Odd, I just looked in x2tool as well and didn't see that option (I swear I remembered that somewhere). _________________

Fixed the problem
I flashed using EvoX Bios and worked like a charm. its that x2 config loading screen that was the issue. wasin't actually loading the bios and was looking for a HDD before anything else.
whereas the evox bios gets booted first than starts searching for media.
thanks anyways

You should really turn on the G:\ partition instead of having a 491 gig F:\. Large F:\'s can get corrupted. You need to mod your bios so that the LBA48 setting is on F:\ to 137 gig; rest to G:\. _________________
