Ok so I am best off investing in a set of torqx drivers then ? Smile


Its always good but if you have any type of tool kit...they will have it in there. Hell my 10.00 tool kit from Wal-mart had all of them, 10, 15, 20. And as I posted before I wouldn't mess with it, the bios you have are great...I have read a few members switching to the bios you have flashed now

No problem, XBMC is crazy and you will have alot of fun messing with that. I am learning new stuff everyday on that thing. BTW the only reason I changed my bios was for I got a much larger HDD then you and it woun't read G drive....so it put all the space on F

bios all do the same thing basically do the same thing, but some have features that others don't.

Probably the best feature to have is Live blocking. What this does is block the network ports used by LIve so if you are runnng a mod bios Live enabled games cannot connect to check for updates or be accidentally connected to Live directly, preventing you from being banned. If you do not use Live, this is not a big deal. M8 does not have Live blocking, X2 does. If you really like M8 and use Live search for Yoshihiro's M8 and it does have Live blocking, but I have never put it to the test

You can try powering on your xbox with eject instead of the power button, if you have a Xenium you will go to the OS menu. Look on the outside of the case for any added switches
