Amazing! That was actually it. One working drive now, cheers!

Unfortunately snapped. I'm sure this was working before I got my hands on it.

Progress! With a PC DVD-Writer installed, using Hexen burned using the same device, it boots. I was able to repair the dashboard. I wouldn't have thought to try that. Thanks so much! I now see what the other problem was. There's a broken pin on the DVD drives IDE header. It looks like I'm going to have to desolder it and replace it. I think I'll get myself some of these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/263827797311

There's the usual pink EvoX logo at the top left with the animation and audio. This is a new ebay purchase and I noticed the LPC pin 4 (PWR 1.6) had been deliberately pushed out the way. Moving this back in to place doesn't help so I'll probably bend it back to where it was.

I have a 1.6 crystal xbox with Alladin XT2 and unknown bios. My machine doesn't boot and eventually gives Error 16. It was working until I started trying to swap hard-drives and IDE cables. It won't try to boot from a HeXen DVD either. So far I have tried: (1) Ethernet for NTP (2) Removing the disk, unlocking on Windows 10, replacing all C and E with the StockFiles from TruHexen 2021 using FatXplorer 3.0 and relocking The only thing left to try is flashing the bios on the modchip to be sure that the clock loop is removed, but for that I'm going to need a programmer. Is there anything else I've missed? Is there anything else I can try? Would (2) normally have fixed this? Thanks!
