KaosEngineer Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 You can build another drive using Chimp 261812 to clone the booting hard drive to a new slave drive (connected to the DVD drive's IDE cable when prompted to connect it after starting Chimp).

I can verify this fully, Ive done it many times and it also works with larger drives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS_Dave Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Yes that can happen as the dash is looking for all the games and app's on the drive. Cheers SS Dave Those that can Hard-Mod. Those that can't Soft-Mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDShadow Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Depending on what main dash you're using too. UnleashX has some unspecified upper limit for total icon file size (100MB? Possibly) ie. if you have too many large icon files for Apps, Games, Emus etc the Xbox will boot slower and may not display all the main menu icons. Also something worth mentioning is that in my experience SATA HDDs (must use 80 wire IDE cables) boot slower than IDE ones. I've not used a lot of SATA HDDs but even with a new basic install ie. just the main dash and nothing else I've found the 320GB WD HDDs I use still boot slower than a well filled 160GB IDE HDD. It was one of the first things I noticed when I used a SATA HDD in a Xbox for the first time. My guess is that the SATA adapter is a bottleneck.
