Could the NoDVD bios problem be related to the master/slave/cable select option and cable position.  With both drives connected it's seeing them fine, one drive it's hanging.

The EvoX noDVD bioses have only problems with WD-Greens and some other "Green" a like drives because these need to much time to become ready on boot (And some older Hitachi server HDD's also can cause problems as I found out). 

So if you have problems with just a HDD connected, I would say it's the HDD or the SATA controller. What does your XBox do when you use the noDVD bios in combination with an IDE HDD (no DVD drive connected)? Does it boot?

Okay so I think I found a problem. I’m looking in my apps folder and I have flashbios and in the evox.ini file there are a couple of mistakes only relating to evoxm8+NoDvd. It will display NoDvd but actually flashes Yes DVD regardless on 256 or 512k bios as the error has been copied and pasted. 
 

if you open the .ini file in UnleashX the first error can be seen at line 1443 col 82 ! 
 

hope this helps and if I am correct can be updated  

 

just some people said they had trouble flashing a NoDvd bios and it still would not boot without the DVD   Well even when choosing NoDvd it flashes YesDvd ! 
 

the error is only in Evoxm8+ with Evolution-X dashboard  

 

also cee are okay just the ece are affected  

Hope this helps

What's the deal on 128 MB IND-BIOS 5003 vs Cerbios? A very kind chap at RetroModz UK has made me a 128mb RAM 1.1 Xbox using this BIOS, but I'm curious about 128Mb/Cerbios support

CerBIOS's nfo file says it has full 128MB support with an MTRR Fix. I believe that fix is the same one used in the patched iND-BiOS.

is there any reason to use Cerbios over IND-BIOS 5003 Shutdown+RAM Patched+XBL Enabled.zip? I'm using Cerbios with the 128mb xbox I received and it seems to be working well

CerBIOS supports larger hard drives than iND-BiOS 5003.

@sweetdarkdestiny

can you double check your evox.ini file as I think I found mistakes were the YESDVD was flashed instead of the NODVD evoxm8 plus bios which is causing issues after flashing with your installer disc. Then make a new version with the errors fixed please.

Hello lads, ive got an old 300gb IDE HDD in my xbox (v1.4 EvoX modchip) and when i put this installer dvd in, the F drive shows 278GB free, but when i boot up without the dvd, F drive ony shows 123GB free. XB partitioner only gives me the option of formatting 120.55GB or splitting it into 2x 60.27GB.

 

Its all a fresh install with a clean drive, but i really need more than 120 gb, my coinops folder which i intend to put  alone is 150gb, plus some of the other things i wanna put on.

 

Any idea what it could be?
