The drive should not be formatted by Windows. It needs to be a blank, wiped clean. No Windows partitions allocated. In WIndows' Disk Management Tool, the entire hard drive should appear as unallocated space.
Sorry for the delay guys, real life and all that... After running that formatting tool, I see the disk as one big unallocated space. Unfortunately that didn't fix anything. I even tried with a different drive. Still always fails to format from within Open Xenium.
BIOS need to be in the c drive of that hdd, which I can't format the c drive because it always fails so im stuck there. I can't use the OG installation dvd to format that hdd because I don't have any BIOS which I need in order to boot from the dvd drive, is that correct?

If the 1TB hard drive was previously used on a computer and has partitions and data on it, I suggest wiping it clean before having the XeniumOS format it for the Xbox.
Use HDDGuru's HDD LLF Low Level Format Tool.
Yes it was, I did format it with diskpart > clean all but I will try that tool.

Ah alright, but since I do not have any BIOS installed currently, that would explain why both buttons have the same result.

When I try to format the C or F drive it just says failed to format partition. I wonder if something is wrong with the HDD.
It's a Thomson DVD drive. So to install the BIOS from a dvd it would be add new launch item> flash? When I do that with the installation dvd in and select D, the next screen is just blank. Nothing for me to select. I don't really understand what powering on the xbox with the eject button is supposed to do. When I do that it looks the same as when I power on with the normal power button only it opens the dvd drive too. I could try burning the BIOS to a dvd.

It's running version 2.3.1
When I FTP there is nothing, here is a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/hfndmYp
If I double click on that folder icon to move up a directory, the xbox either freezes or reboots itself.

Hey, yes I have the OG Installation 2021 disk burned to a dvd from the link you provided. Yes I get the Open Xenium menu when I power on with the eject button. I cannot find a way to actually boot that disk though.

Thanks. Hmm, well for the 5 seconds I was able to log in via FTP before it crashed and the Xbox froze I saw that there is nothing there. No C drive, so I guess I have to format that HDD first? This is the spare 1TB drive that I had laying around, I am not sure if it is truly blank but I figure I'd be able to format it from the Xbox. Unfortunately I don't have a USB adapter.

Where does one acquire custom BIOS?

Thanks for the responses guys. I thought I needed retail BIOS for some reason, it was part of the guide I was following. Its a 1.0 Xbox and Open Xenium didn't come with any BIOS. I'm heading in the right direction now.

What ups
So glad I found this awesome forum for the OG. I installed an OpenXenium chip and now I don't know what to do. My goal is to swap the original HDD (which is EVOX softmodded) with a spare 1TB I have laying around. I tried adding the retail kernel to the launch menu but it isn't working. On the original HDD the xbox boots to a black screen, on the spare HDD the xbox boots to an error screen. What is my next step?

Cool thanks for this, I'll give it a read through. I am able to access it via HTTP, and I see the option you are talking about. So from here, I should upload that EvoxM8+v16.bin SS_Dave provided right?
