DVD drive wont boot. explained below

[Gurjsagoo]

Decided to do a clean install on my 2tb drive. Inserted the hexen disc and it wont read. It just keep booting up into xbmc4gamers.

So i decided to take the drive out and format it on the pc using fat xplorer. Now im getting error 13 or somtimes error 14. when connected back up. So i popped in the hexen disc and it wont read. Evo x shows in the corner and error comes up straight away

Now the weird thing

As soon as i plug my stock drive back in which the ide standard drive. Yes the ms dashboard loads and then starts reading the hexen disc.

im using the 80pin cable
open xenium chip
sata adaptor has no jumpers

Can any 1 explain what im doing wrong

Before i moded the xbox i was using a jumpered ide to sata adaptor. my new 1 doesent have any jumpers.

Could it be i need a startech adaptor

Are you using a 80 wire IDE cable?

The statech brand of sata2ide has a set of 4 jumpers and it needs to be linked on master.

Where did the evoX bios come from? or was it the one on the chip from factory?

Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

hello dave. nah it wasnt the factory bios. i flashed it myself. yes im using a 80 pin ide cable. the adaptor i was using before did have jumpers. the new 1 i have dosent have any at all.

all i no the hexen boots up with the stock HD. so im a bit puzzled as it could be the adaptor. it wont even read original xbox games.

If the version of bios doesn't support a 2tb hard drive that nothing will work and some of the Evox bios files that are out there only support up to 160gb hard drives.

Flash the mod chip with the Cerbios 2.2.1 beta as that will support up to a 8tb hard drive and works on all versions of Xbox.

Here is a copy and make sure you have a look at the readme file 

I would use the " Cerbios Hybrid V2.21 BETA UDMA4 "
