I think one socket is for the switch panel input and the other is to go out to the X3. Look around for a disconnected molex.

Insignia XBL replacement sign-up opened
Bowlsnapper replied to zatchbot's topic in General Xbox Discussion
Hey, guys. I recently upgraded my HDD to a 2TB. Origins F and G, replaced dash and everything. Now I can't connect to insignia. "Could not connect to xbox live." Switched back to my old drive, nada. It's able to connect to the DNS. I am officially freaking out. Did I break something by swapping my drive out? Can anyody else confirm that they are still connecting okay? I'm gonna start a thread because I'm panicking. -
I've placed all the files properly and set jumpers correctly. BFM loading seems to happen and then blank screen. I'm using a Pound HDMI adapter. Do I need to buy composite cables? I've read that that is probably the reason for my present misfortune. Anybody have luck running with HDMI? As a side note, ANY time a BFM is loaded on my machine, my partition table is ERASED. It's kinda freaking me out. I keep having to boot with my X3 bios, run XBPartitioner, write the table, and then Cerbios will see F:. Any idea why BFMs keep wiping out my table? ISO loaders do the same thing.
-
Nah. The iso is only 700mb, so no problems there. i donˋt think reformatting is something that will fix it... but thank you.

@Lisko Check out the post right before this one. This is going to be a problem. If anybody else knows what's wrong, PLEASE chime in!

Help with adding bios to new Harddrive hard modded Xbox
Bowlsnapper replied to Brandon's topic in Modchips
XeniumOS does not have LBA48 support. That's why you can't do anything with F;. It doesn't know how to. You'll have to use XBPartitioner under a BIOS that supports LBA48. M8+ should. I have no idea why you can't get a bios to work. Kaos probably does. -

Help with adding bios to new Harddrive hard modded Xbox
Bowlsnapper replied to Brandon's topic in Modchips
Okay, help us out here by clarifying a few things. IS it the Xenium modchip that you have? Is that what you mean when you say you have "Xenium installed"? I know you have XeniumOS. If you have a legit hacked bios, you shouldn't need a dashboard to load hexen. It should just run automatically if it's in the drive. Are the bioses you're flashing intended for 1.6? They need their own versions of each bios. Try to give as many detals about your setup as possible so we have all the info we need to help you. -
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003-2007 Driving & Putting Question
Bowlsnapper replied to shedward's topic in General Xbox Discussion
That arrow you see on the ground in front of you: move it about 1FT behind the hole. That's how they decided to do it, I guess. Coming from hot shots golf, that's a VERY weird way to do it. -

Bowlsnapper replied to Gamey's topic in General Xbox Discussion
Hey, that's exactly what XBPartitioner looked like for me when Cerbios didn't have a table to reference after I went off of X3. Adjust the partition 6 size to take everything and make sure G is NADA. Then write that table, assuming that it reflects the size of what should be left over on your HDD after partitions 1-5. If that doesn't work, you may have formatted... but if all you did was run the table writer, you're probably okay. You just didn't have the right option selected when you accidentally wrote the table. You will want to make sure that F: gets everything. NO G:... assuming that that's how your drive was configured before this happened (You only had an F: partition and no G: at all) -
Okay, I am experiencing an EXTREMELY weird glitch: The script creates the xbe like normal. I try to launch the XBE, but I just get a blank screen, SOLID HDD activity light and alternating LEDs. Then, my LEDs go back to green, my video signal dies COMPLETELY and my TV actually goes into standby. But that's not the weird part. The weird part is, when I booted up again, my F:partition was not being read anymore. I had to go back into the X3 Bios, run XBPartitioner, write the table again, and then Cerbios could see F: again. Also, when I booted into X3 to do so, there was a green vertical bar on the left. Narrow, but HELLA noticeable. I'm officially freaked out. WTF is happening? @Natetronn
-
OKay. I don't have a PC, so I'll have to rely on the script. I'll see if I can find it.

I just need to know the simplest way to use ISOs in Cerbios 2.03R. I guess it has native support? Whatever that really means.

Bowlsnapper replied to Gamey's topic in General Xbox Discussion
You probably wiped out your previous table and now have no access to the data on that drive. You may have also formatted the drive as well if that's what was indicated in the top right when you hit start and y. As far as I know, there is no tool that can recover unindexed files like there is for NTFS and FAT. Dang, man. Why did you have to hit start and Y? Lol. I feel for you dude. Maybe somebody here can confirm what I'm saying? -
It would be fun to get a 10,000RPM drive, even if the bus is bottlenecked and wouldn't allow for any benefit... just for the 1337ness. Dude, when my fan is on 100% it sounds like a Dust Devil impeller. Edit: Appears that 10,000RPM drives are no longer a thing, probably due to density improvements and SATA advancements... and SSDs.
-
Perfect. Literally all the reviews are of people posting success stories and pictures of using them in their xboxes. Lol. Thank you.
-
Wait, what is exactly? IDE drives or using TWO drives?... Or ME? Lol.
-
Most regular 80pins will be long enough, correct? I'm on a budget and can't spring for the Kekule deluxe 80pin. Lol. I'm on XBMC 3.5.3.
-
For some reason, IDE drives are over twice the price of an equivalent sized SATA drive. I might as well just get a SATA drive and a startech adapter. Anybody tried the dual HDD feature yet? And for god's sake, how do I mount isos in Cerbios? Lol.
-
I'm using the UDMA2 version. UDMA5 resulted in no HDD detected.
-
Yep, it worked! Thanks guys. That'll get me up and running until I get a bigger hard drive. Only other thing I need help with is making sure I get a couple of isos mountable. I don't have access to Mulleter right now, so I have to rely on ISOs to run the games that insignia will support. Can you guys point me in the right direction? @Natetronn
-
I actually saw the option of just writing the table without formatting and wondered if that would do the job. Sure HOPE there isn't data loss... Well, lets see! Be right back!
-
I know. But I won't have a PC for probably another 2 months. I HAVE to use the xbox to do all my formatting and file placement tasks. XBPartitioner it is. Maybe I'll just get a 750GB drive. I'm dead set on using 64kb clusters, because I'm worried that Cerbios won't see anything below that. And if that's completely nonsensical, well, MORE space never hurt anyone. Edit. Nah, 1TB.
