Posted: Fri Dec 30, 2005 6:30 am Post subject: i kinda screwed things up here... advice/help, please!
my xbox was working great, i had reinstalled everything using aid 2.11 a couple months ago. i had even put a copy of aid 2.11 on the xbox HD so that i would have it handy.
well, i decided to start over completely, and i decided to use aid 2.11 to do it. i backed up all my data (games, tdata, udata, etc), and then started up aid 2.11 from the hard drive. i formatted all of my drives (i have a 120 gb installed), and then tried to copy all the necessary files. it obviously gave me an error, because i had formatted the disk that held aid 2.11. (duh. i should have thought this through a bit more, for sure.)
now when i turn on my xbox, it just freezes on the xbox splash screen, with the xecuter3 logo. nothing more. i have made a new dvd with aid 2.11 on it, but it will not boot. i also don't have any ftp access. i don't think i've screwed things up totally, but i do need some advice on how to get out of this conundrum.
when i hold down the eject and power buttons when i power up, it takes me to a bios flash menu, but i'm not sure if that's necessary or not. hopefully this isn't a dumb noob question, if the answer is posted somewhere, i'll go read it with my tail between my legs. thanks in advance!

hey, since when was this site xbox-scene? people that come over here are usually down on themselves for asking questions, ya know, being used to the brutal treatment over there, but anyway, the task at hand..
the fact that its chipped is great. whats even more great is that it atleast gets to the 'rox my box' screen.
one question tho, does it ever make it to where it says error 13? if it does, thats good, real good. all you need to do is perfect your way in burning the AID dvd until you get one that works.
part of the problem could be the dvd media type. I recommend Memorex dvd-r. they have yet to fail me and they are compat in ALL drives.
if it doesnt get to the error 13 screen, you may need to reflash the bios, which is where the power&eject come into play.
go ahead and try to burn it a few more times in a few different ways and get back to us with how it went!
hope that helps

nope, i'm not getting an error 13. it just hangs on the xbox and rox my bix logos. should i just skip straight to reflashing my bios or should i still try different media types?
btw, thanks for your answer. i appreciate it.

If you were able to get to the x3 config screen then, you should be in good shape once you install AID. _________________
