  1. Just for the record - I dunno if this is a peculiarity of Xenium chips with v1.0 OS, Xenium chips in general, or mine in particular, but I should point out that all my efforts to upgrade the Xenium OS to v2.3.1. from the hdd refused to work, nothing would happen except the 'safe mode loading....halt!' message. It was only when I noticed that the dvd drive was spinning each time I tried "recovery mode' that I I tried again with the files burned on a cd. Only then did it try to update, although after about 20 mins it brought up the 'loading...halt!' message again, so it had, again, failed. So I tried it with the files burned instead on a dvd disc, it worked straight away and was successfully done in a minute or two! So to finally get to my point, if anyone else reading this needs to update their Xenium OS in the future, save yourself a lot of wasted time and effort by doing it from dvd instead of the hard drive! (Also, use 'Hexen', not 'SlaYers' disc).
  2. Ah, never mind, I made another dumb error cos I wasn't thinking - I ftp'd the games straight to F partition, I forgot to create a 'games' folder. It obviously looks for that folder and it wasn't there to find! I've fixed that now, the games are showing on the menu wheel now. Thanx again.
  3. I'm using the unleash x dash as before (the one similar to the MS dash, but blue). The games appeared automatically in the list when I had first used Hexen to add the new hdd, before I fixed all the probs at the start of this thread.
  4. Actually got one more question, sorry! Right back at the start before I got the hdd sorted out, I had ftp'd a few games to the F partition of my xbox. They showed up on the evolution x menu under 'games', so I could easily launch any of them. Obviously the re-formatting etc erased them. I've ftp'd a bunch of games back on to F partition again, but the 'games' menu says 'empty' and I have to use 'file explorer' to navigate to them and launch them from there. How do I fix that, please? I've tried 'refresh list'. Didn't work.
  5. Thanx for the info, luckily I didn't need to use the switch, and finally got everything sorted out reading the 2.0 manual you posted earlier in the thread. It took me a long while to get there and I made a comically large number of mistakes along the way, but I've gained a lot of useful knowledge thanks to all you guys that patiently answered my barrage of questions helped me put right my many mishaps! Again, a massive thanx to you all! I wouldn't in a million years have done it if I hadn't literally stumbled upon this great site!
  6. Yep, worked as it should, no probs! Decent space on F partition now. And it only took 2 days, and dozens of stupid questions to you guys, to get there! Jeez, it only took me one video and 30 mins work to softmod my daughter's v1.6 crystal xbox. I had assumed that my chipped xbox would be even quicker and easier cos I was just swapping in a new hdd instead of cloning etc. How wrong that assumption turned out to be!
  7. Ok, I used the 'evoxm8.137'.bin, then re-formatted from scratch with Hexen! Halelujah, it finally worked! (pity I forgot to back up my game saves on the memory card, but I'm just relieved the nitemare is finally over and I can quit bugging all you guys!) Thanx to all of you for all the brilliant advice!
  8. I followed the manual and flashed 'evoxm8+'. Now I can get the xbox up and running, but still get 'LBA48 missing' error. Where do I get the right bios files that you mentioned? Are they on the Hexen' disc?
  9. Ah crap, seems I have to set up the chip from scratch. I don't have great confidence in that going well for me. S@!t!
  10. Just noticed, the chip led isn' t blue anymore, it turns off when the menu loads. I'll try the 2.0 user guide, see if that helps (I hope!)
  11. Yea. Still just get 'welcome to xos 2.3.1', then menu screen. Can't find a user manual for it on google. Not a great success, I can't do a damn thing with it like this!
  12. Um, too late! I tried again with the file on dvd instead of cd. Worked right away, took about a minte to complete, turned off. Great, right? Nope, cos now when I turn the xbox on, it just boots up the v2.3.1 menu and I can't figure out how to get the damn thing to boot up normally! Has the update erased the bios? Fml!!!!
  13. Still waiting, it still says "Loading....". Not looking too good, it should've been done by now if it was gonna work, surely? Been 20 minutes now...
  14. Yea, I still get the 'LBA48 missing, you need to update" when I use xb partitioner. I tried the 'recovery mode' again with the cd, this time I didn't get the 'loading...HALT" on screen, and instead of the led turning to red, it's flashing orange. Not getting my hopes up, but at least something's happening this time. Gonna wait a while and see what happens...
  15. Ok, I already went ahead and put it in the root of E, tried 'recovery mode', it's been frozen on the 'safe mode loading...HALT' screen again for 10 minutes now, nothing happening...
