Please help! I have just installed an new 40gb ide hdd and a pc dvd drive (just to get my modded xbox to boot) I put the OGXBOX Cerbio installer dvd into the drive and it booted to the ogxbox menu It recognised taht i had a new HDD and asked if i wanted to format it which i did (i can now see C,E and F drives) I then flashed my alladin modchip v1.6 with the cerbios bio which worked. but when i try to install a dashboard off the dvd it just hangs and wont do anything,just says please wait and empty progress bars. This means the xbox wont boot unless the OGXBOX installer disc is in the drive as there is no dashboard. Have i missed something? What am i doing wrong Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks Bowlsnapper, So to be clear,i need my original dvd drive plugged into the mother board via the yellow power cable as well as the new PC dvd drive via a molex splitter in order for the xbox to boot? or can i just plug the new drive in and then boot the xbox with a disk already in the new drive and it should boot. Im not going to be using the new drive to load copied games,all i want to do is load games off the hard drive that i can ftp across onto.I just need to be able to boot the xbox to a dashboard to use it.

Yeah thats fine i've got Hexen. what would i do with the yellow 10pin power cable for the original dvd drive,do i need to keep it plugged in to the motherboar dand the original drive for the xbox to think there's a stock dvd drive in there to boot up? Or does it not matter because the new drive is plugged into the IDE cable? Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the quick response, i've got a spare Hitachi-Lg data storage HLGCC-4481B that i can use to hopefully get it booted.

Hi guys, i've been reading this thread because i have an issue with my original Xbox dvd drive. Basically it doesnt work and wont allow the xbox to boot past the splash screen and then gives error 07. The green light just keep flashing and if i unplug the IDE cable the drive will open and close and spin but not with the IDE cable plugged in (i have tried replacement cables) The console is modded and when i boot to the modchip it shows a pink EVOX in the top left corner of my screen but still wont boot past the splash screen and gives error 07. Could i just use any IDE pc dvd drive to get the console to boot to the Evox dashboard? if so how do i connect it because a normal dvd drive has a molex power connector and the xbox one has a yellow 10 cable connector? Could i get a molex splitter and take a connection from the HDD? and would i still need the yellow dvd cable plugged in? Once the xbox is booted to the dash i can ftp games etc across but i cant do anything with it at the minute as it wont boot. The modchip is an aladdin V1.0 - v1.6 if that helps. Also if this dvd swap does work is there anyway from the dash board to stop the dvd being needed to boot the system? Thanks for any help in advance.
