    Since you are having issues booting with HDD… maybe there is an issue with eeprom.  Only thing I can suggest is install a pin header so you get a better connection 

    ok I'll install a pin header when I have a minute...I'll report back in this thread w/ an update.  Thanks for your help :)

    I loaded the firmware linked by bowlsnapper and I tried this as you suggested:

    Quote

    turn Xbox leave it sit for 30 secs to min.  Put power switch on picoPromSD (PPSD) to USB (no usb attached). Put good pressure on PPSD on LPC. Once you have a good connection, slide power switch in PPSD to LPC and try not to move it 

       

    there must be something I'm doing wrong...all I get is this:

    PicoPromSD

    I'm having a really hard time dumping the EEPROM info on a 1.0 box. I have no idea why it won't dump the data?  It's not writing any info to the microsd card...and the red led is the last to light up and stays lit.  The console boots but there's an issue w/ the HDD so it won't boot w/ the original HDD attached.  Might I not be aligning the pins on the pogo adapter up correctly?  I'm making sure the pins are aligned from the front to the back (the way you did it in the youtube vid).

    yeah but that's the stock IDE drive, right?  My issue is w/ SATA drive formated w/ XBPartitioner .  It's a problem w/ the way it's formatted...xbpartitioner....Nemesis told me what the problem was and offered a solution. I did that and it solved the issue of the SATA HDD not being accessible in the Xenium OS, however, I think I still need to do some tweaking..I'm missing HDD space, but I think I can live w/ that...He said to format C and E in evox, F and G in xbpartitioner.  That worked.

    Have you tried all lower case?

    e:\xeniumos\skins.

    Or try putting the files on  memory card and see if it can find them

     

    Just a thought.

    Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

     

     

    I've tried renaming to lowercase..I also put the same subdirs on a flashdrive.  I know the xenium sees the flash drive cause I can flash BIOS' from it.  so it's definitely a problem w/ accessing SATA HDD's in the Xenium OS; I also get an empty dir listing when FTP'ing.

    I have an OpenXenium chip installed in my 1.6 box w/ 2TB Sata HDD;  StarTech adapter; Chimeric custom 80 ide cable. 

    I just finished installing the Xenium RGB mod by Nemesis.  So I downloaded all of the Xenium OS LED and Skin files.  Uploaded them to their own subdirs in a subdir named XeniumOS on E:\

    so:

    E:\XeniumOS\Skins

    -and-

    E:\XeniumOS\LEDS

    when I select Choose LEDs... the only thing that shows up is <Default>, not the list of leds.  I thought that was weird so I made sure E:\XeniumOS dir existed w/ sub dir LEDS, yep it does.  Still stumped I thought well maybe the chip isn't reading from the HDD for some reason...so I opened Disk Tools from the OS menu and selected Format Partition and choose the Z partition.  Selected Master selected Yes all the way through til I was REALLY sure....it said "Failed to format partition!"  Did the same for Slave.  So I confirmed it's not reading from the HDD...then I thought well i should FTP in and see if I can see the list of directories, they aren't there. 

    I put my orig 8GB IDE HDD in w/ orig IDE cable and tried the same thing....it shows the LED files and Skin files.  I'm stumped trying to figure this out.  I've made sure the blue end of the IDE cable is connected to the HDD.  Tried ALL of the jumper locations on the StarTech adapter; Master, Slave, CS and the other one.  I have no idea, I gave up for the evening.  

    FWIW, XBMC loads fine and I can see all of my files in the dash and FTP, games and apps load fine from the HDD...so It's a Xenium OS issue;  it's probably related to another issue but I'm not sure what it is so I made this post asking for help.

    Can anyone offer a suggestion on how to get read access to my sata HDD in the Xenium OS?

    TIA!

  16. how to take a screenshot?

    I believe it looks that way, the screen flashes and a camera shutter clicking sound is played, but a screenshot is saved in the Q:\system\screenshots folder if not configured to save them elsewhere.

    yeah it's not taking a screenshot for me...I've even manually changed the default save location to the default screenshot folder and tried a totally different folder, no dice..also, the screen just flashes but I don't get a shutter sound? totally stumped :/

    That ok 

    Error 13 is to do with the hdd lock as the software is expecting the hdd to be locked.

     

    Also hexen can take about a minute to load a well.

    Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

    hexen never loads...it just stays at the evox xbox linux screen....auto installer deluxe does the same thing...it just stays at the evox microsoft screen and never loads...is there anyway to get either of these util discs to load w/ a locked hdd from another xbox in this xbox?   thanks again for your help.

    My brother gave me his old xbox v1.4 halo edition (w/ the green case) that he tsop flashed many years ago....he didn't have a hard drive in it but I have an unmodded xbox here w/ a hard drive.  thought I'd put the hdd from the unmodded stock xbox in the the tsop flashed box and see if it'd boot....it comes up w/ error 16..so I burned a copy of hexen 2020 to see if I could get that to load.....it's stuck on the splash screen (the xbox logo; x on top of the word xbox) w/ the text linux under it and the purple evo x logo in the top left corner; i've attached a picture of it)....is this 'cause the hard drive is locked?  is there a way around this, i'd like to be able to use the xbox.

    Thank you.
