  1. This shows running it under xemu, not on physical xbox
  2. @KaosEngineerI totally forgot about LBA48, I just remembered that you had to set jumper on larger drives to limit them to 137GB if you wanted to use them with older PC @SS_Dave So I flashed Evox m8+ CEE FG noDVD 256kb and when I boot Xbox from HDD it just stays on blue Xbox logo (no EvoX logo in upper-left corner anymore). OGXbox boots fine. I tried to install default dash (EvolutionX), but copying part was still stuck at 0%. Then I did something I should have done from the begining: I disconnected power cable from xbox dvd. I had it connected all the time, I only disconnected ATA cable to connect it to DVD-ROM. So after I disconnected it, I boot OGXbox, tried again to install default dash and the process started right away, but then it was stuck at copying skins and E drive showed 0 free bytes. So I reboot and tried XBPartitioner and it was stuck at black screen. I rebooted after few minutes of waiting and ran OGXbox and it was also stuck on black screen after initial loading. I powered down Xbox and disconnected it from power, waited a few minutes, booted OGXbox and tried XBPartitioner again, this time it ran. I changed extended partitions to single 458 GB, power cycled, then ran AIO Setup a new large HDD, it formatted partitions (I skipped formating G) but it's still stuck at copying 0%. Power cycle again, then I ran XBPartitioner and changed to two 229 GB partitions, then tried AIO Setup a new small HDD with F&G but it was still stuck at Copying 0%. So, another power cycle, XBPartitioner, single 458GB, and I used ftp to transfer everything from backup of my old hdd, and voila, it just works. I checked and it's UnleashX 0.39.0528A Build 584. So finally I have a working Xbox with 500GB HDD As a side note, I think OGXbox has problem installing Dash when it's running from dvd drive other than xbox. Thanks for everything, I couldn't have done this without you.
  3. So you're saying that 500 GB HDD should work ok with current bios. But it's not, OGXbox shows that F & G both have ~230 GB, but if I boot EvolutionX from hdd then it shows that F has ~127 GB and G has 0. Is it really bios fault and I should update it, or is it something else? And I don't plan to change to a bigger HDD, and I prefer to not remove Aladdin.
  4. I checked and board is 1.1 and according to "bios checker" there is EvoX M8+ v16 06 256k. Should I still flash bios from OGXbox? https://i.imgur.com/NqqWllx.jpeg
  5. Today I decided it's time to try again at getting this Xbox to work. After a few power cycles, Xbox booted with that failing HDD. I then used FTP to copy everything from it to my PC, I then swapped HDD with 500GB ATA HDD, I used OGXbox Installer to setup HDD with option "3.1.3 AIO Setup a new small HDD with F & G (2x250GB)", it showed on the right that F & G have ~230 GB free space, then I copied everything from PC to Xbox using FTP, power cycled, and EvoX dash launched, but one thing was wrong, F drive showed ~127 GB and G showed 0 GB. So I downloaded EvolutionX dash v3935, uploaded it on C, power cycled, it loaded, but it also saw only F 127 GB and G 0 GB. Then I remembered you said that I should update bios to support bigger HDD, but honestly I don't know which one I should choose. EvolutionX has Flash BIOS with three different bioses to choose, can you help me?
  6. Both hard drives work, it's just that copying process is stuck and doesn't want to start. Even original dashboard started, so it must be something with that install phase
  7. Let's ignore bigger hard drives for now, I just want to make it work with that 40GB hdd.
  8. I only found it on Polish websites (I'm from Poland) and all the links are old and not working, here's a google translate of old forum post describing it https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=pl&tl=en&u=https://xboxforum.pl/threads/autoinstalator-xbox-mast3r-installer-v2-gangst3r.51117/ Yes I use 80pin cable, and that photo I took with 40GB hdd. I didn't update bios and I don't really know how, I saw something about it in OGXbox but I didn't try, that's also why I put photo of bios checker. I don't really need to use SATA hdd, I just considered it an option
  9. So I managed to get DVD-ROM ODD (NEC DV-5800C), WD Blue 500GB (WD5000AAKB) and molex split cable. First I tested this HDD under Windows: full smart test, full write+read test using h2testw, then cleared partition table. In the meantime I burned OGXbox Installer V1.5.3 with verification using IMGBurn at 3x speed. After I verified that HDD was OK, I connected it and ODD to Xbox, turned it on, put OGXbox disc and right after EvoX startup animation ended it would add "Linux" at the bottom of the screen and ODD was constantly reading something, I left it running for almost an hour and it still was reading something (disc was spinning at max speed all the time and access led on ODD was constantly blinking). I powered down XBox, tried booting it agan and it was the same, after few minutes I powered it down, changed disc to "XBOX Mast3r Installer v2" and it booted fine, it detected at startup that there is a new HDD, partitioned it and booted to main menu where I tried to install UnleashX but it was stuck at the beginning, it said "Coping", but it was stuck at 0%, ODD was not reading anything, waited for a few minutes and powercycled xbox, ran master installer disc again, this time it booted straight to menu, I tried again to install UnleashX but it was the same. So I powered down xbox, changed hdd to Seagate 40GB, tried Master Installer again and it was the same as before, detected new hdd, partitioned, tried to install UnleashX and was stuck at copying at 0%. So I booted OGXbox and it started without problems this time, then I tried option "4.2. Install Default Dashboards AiO" and it was also stuck at 0%. Power cycled xbox and tried "4.3.3. Install Unleash-X." and it copied some files, asked if I want to setup UnleashX as default, I chose Yes and then was stuck at copying C:\mslogo.bmp. Power cycled again, this time I chose "4.3.2. Install Evolution-X." and it was the same as with UnleashX install. Power cycled again, I tried booting of HDD and it booted original xbox dashboard. Right now I don't know what else to do. Here are two photos: https://imgur.com/a/jlkE90u I also have two different 500GB SATA HDD and SATA-> ATA converter like this https://aliexpress.com/item/32823861195.html so I can test this with SATA HDD (or even SATA ODD)
  10. Thanks for your suggestions. Right now I checked voltage on molex connector, it's within ATX tolerance (~5.05V and ~11.76V). Fatxplorer 3.0 beta requires Win7 SP1. I could install Win7 on that spare PC, but first I will try to use PC ide DVD drive in Xbox, I think I can get one from a friend. Capacitors look ok to me, I'm not an electronics expert https://imgur.com/a/xxxNeEx
  11. I have Xbox moded with Aladdin XT Plus2 (I bought it moded few years ago). ODD started failing a while back (had much trouble to recognize disc and even if it did, it had trouble reading it to rip it to HDD). I eventually ignored it and started to upload games through FTP. But recently HDD started failing, it does clicking noise at startup, sometimes it doesn't start and displays error page "service required...", if it eventually starts then sometimes it works ok and sometimes it crashes during operation with HDD making those clicking noise. So, i opened my Xbox, connected HDD to one of my PC I use for older games (Core 2 Duo, WinXP, ATA connector on motherboard) and it started ok, it was seen in device manager, but disk management didn't see it. I googled around and it seems drives are ATA locked on Xbox and that is why I didn't see any partitions. So I run SMART Extended test using smartmontools and it didn't detect any errors, also SMART attributes didn't show anything unusual (I'm familiar with this since I do computer repairs). So I googled some more and it seems I could just insert another ATA HDD to Xbox and use recovery disc to prepare HDD. I had some spare Samsung 40GB so I inserted it in Xbox and I have disc labeled as "XBOX Master Installer v2 (recovery)" but I couldn't get it to work because ODD have trouble reading it. So I'm really in a pickle. Is there some alternative way to do this without replacing ODD?
