OK... Long story - have a older Xbox (pre 1.6, mf 2002) which years and years ago I installed an Xecutor 2 and unlocked the drive, installed new dash etc. Unfortunately after removing the clock cap, I played one game and the HDD developed a hard fault. Bought a new SATA drive for it (and adapter), found Hexen 2018 and used it to remake the OS. Booted fine, but couldn't see the larger drive (0bytes shown free). Ah! thought I, maybe I need to flash the XEcutor 2 with a new BIOS to let it see a larger drive. Out comes the Hexen disc again, and I used option 3 (flash), chose an 1.1-1.5 BIOS 256k and pressed to update. After completing, it shut down... and won't startup! I guess I wrote an incompatible BIOS (or it wrote it to the machine). Any ideas how I can breathe life back into the machine? Tried booting - after it tries to boot 3 times I get red/green flashing. Tried unplugging the XEcutor from the board, I get a red ring of death (red flashing). Tried unplugging the drive and plugging other drives in (it was unlocked). I believe there is a copy of the flash on the HDD (but I can't read it!). During my initial recovery, I have a copy of XBINS site, so I have all the tools on there (just that it is nearly 20 years since I used any of the tools and setup an XBOX!).... Thanks for any help...
