Aladin XT Pro 2 Issues

Hey guys,

 

New to OG Xbox modding and I'm having an issue trying to boot the Hexen CD.

 

I have an Aladin XT Pro 2 (I think - See Pics) and in an attempt to upgrade the hard drive i have replaced the stock drive with an 80GB IDE drive. I was then hoping to boot to the Hexen CD to rebuild the drive. I know each HD is locked with a Key but should it be possible to boot to the Hexen CD and rebuild using the tools there?

 

The problem I'm having is when booting with power button to allow it to boot the Evo X dash etc it still gives me Error 07. I have put in the Hexen CD and rebooted again in to the Evo X and it still doesn't recognise the disc.

 

I am yet to test the DVD drive to see if its a problem with it reading discs but thought i would get some feedback from you guys first.

 

Thanks for any input

 

David

The modchip's called Aladdin XT plus 2 instead of Pro 2.

Hexen doesn't require DL DVD media - it's not that large. DVD-R 4.7GB media works.

Is it the 2017 updated release? (Available here and here.) 

Is it burned correctly?  If you insert the disc into a PC what happens? 

You should not be able to see a directory list of the files on the disc but get an error -- the disc format is for an Xbox not a PC. 

If you can view the disc's directory, burn the XISO image to DVD-R media again using "Burn Image to disc".

Its the 2017 Version and DL was the only media discs I had spare.

I burnt the image using ImgBurn. As far as I known it did burn correctly as I also used the Verify feature of ImgBurn. Unless the ISO image that I downloaded was corrupted?

I haven't tried it in my pc yet ill try that next.

I will pick up some DVD-R discs next just to see if that's the issue.

When I have 2 minutes I'm going to swap the HD back and try a normal music CD to see if its the drive.

Managed to solve it guys.

After burning a few more DVD-R's, downloading Hexen 2017 3 times and trying 2 other drives with still errors. I decided to walk away and take 5.

With a fresh outlook I worked out that it was the HD jumpers were set to slave instead of cable select. I changed that and boom it booted Hexen.

I feel a bit of an idiot but lesson learnt!

 

Thanks again for all your input guys. Much appreciated!
